Chris Paul played 82 games. Do we think that will happen again?
Malcolm Brogden had his worse season ever (by far) but it was with the Wizards and recovering from injury
Tyus Jones and Schroeder are probably the most reliable projections statistically (although Tyus Jones defensive rating went way down in Phoenix)
Also:
"The Kings are viewed as a leading suitor for free agent point guard Dennis Schröder, according to league sources who have spoken to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line (Substack link)."
I'd argue that Jones, Russell, and Brogdon all had the worst season of their careers. Still, some of what they can provide would be a fit here. The highest upside move in my opinion would be Russell. If he can get back to what he was doing a year ago, while buying in on defense, he could change his public perception in a big way.
Next for me would be Jones. He was a terrible fit in Pheonix. I think he'd fit like a glove here. I think he's a minimum guy again with another prove it year ahead of him. He can shoot the 3 ball and is a Duke guy, so...
The safest bet is CP3, although I don't expect him to play 82 games again.
