After a couple of messy years with the Lakers, Westbrook bounced back and played really well for the Clippers. He's a tricky fit, but Westbrook has at least another year of starter-level production in him.

Irving remains a top-end point guard. He's arguably the best available free agent, regardless of position. But it'll be buyer-beware time, because you know you're instantly on the clock with Irving's happiness level with your team.

Porzingis has stayed mostly healthy and turned in his best season since his ACL tear. He was an All-Star level player this season and that should sustain into his late-20s. But any contract has to price in injury concerns moving forward.

Russell has arguably put together his best season, and that's including his All-Star year in 2019. He's shooting better than ever and a solid playmaker. And Russell is only 27 and headed into his prime years.

Green remains a top-tier defender. He's worked around his shooting and scoring shortcomings by becoming an excellent playmaker. The big question now: Does Green stay in the only NBA home he's ever known?

It feels like VanVleet is gong to really test the market. There are already rumors of a handful of teams gearing up to make a run at the veteran. He's an ideal fit anywhere because of his defense and on- and off-ball vesatility.

Even in Year 11, Barnes remains a very good starter. His defense is still solid, and Barnes can still get himself to the free throw line better than most. His ability to play either forward spot is a boon too.

No longer miscast as a primary option, Grant's efficiency has rebounded. He's not the defender he once was, but he's still above-average on that end. Grant's versaility is also a key attribute keeping him near the top of free agent rankings.

Rose is nearing the end of his run. He remade himself as a very good reserve guard, but his inablity to stay healthy, combined with his declining athleticism mean the end is near. New York may simply decline their option.

In his first full season back from a torn ACL suffered in the 2021 NBA Finals, Saric has been solid. He's shot it well from deep and remains a good ball-mover. A contender might get a bargain deal on him for next season.

Gallinari has yet to play this season after tearing his ACL. It's likely he'll opt in and debut for the Celtics next season.

Gay has slipped enough that he'll probably just pick up his player option. From there, it's up to the Jazz to keep him or move Gay to a contender. However, his days as a key rotation player are likely over.

As the Bulls have improved, White has stagnated. Other players have passed him in the rotation and that has his future in flux. He's only 23, so there's some late-bloomer potential here as a combo guard off the bench.

After two years of solid production in Miami, Nunn's Lakers tenure was ruined by injury. He's sort of gotten back on track with Washington, but Nunn will have to prove himself on a minimum deal all over again.

Hachimura hasn't been able to build on his solid 2022 season, but he's still a good rotation forward. He's been about equally as productive coming off the bench or starting, and that versatility should see him land with a playoff contender.

Joseph has settled into the phase of his career where he's veteran depth as a third point guard. His ability to shine in that role as a good locker room guy will keep Joseph in the league on a minimum deal.

Just when it looked like Smith was slipping into that deep-bench portion of his career, he started playing minutes for the Nuggets down the stretch. The real question: Will next season be Team 14 for Smith or not?

Green keeps chugging along in Year 15. He's probably equal parts 5 and 4 now, and he no longer shoots from the outside. But teams can do worse for a fourth big, who brings a solid locker room presence.

Winslow has never been able to build on the promise he showed in his Miami years. He's also struggled to stay healthy. Someone will take another shot, but we're getting down to last-chance time here for the versatile wing/forward.

Like others on this list, Hill is wrapping up a long, productive career. He can probably find another job as a bench vet, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Hill call it a career.

Niang is a knockdown shooter from deep. He's probably the best shooter of this free agent power forward class. Niang is also a solid ball-mover. If he could do anything else a bit better, he'd be higher on this list.

It's been a weird season for Jones. Between injuries and an inconsistent role, he's been unable to gain much traction. Jones is only 26 and still an uber-athlete. Someone will give him another shot to fill some rotation minutes.

With less talent around him due to Hornets injuries, Washington has lost a bit of his efficiency. He's also slipped some as a rebounder. But Washington remains an ideal modern 4, and he can slide over and play the 5 in small-ball lineups too.

Williams has been one of the better stretch-4s in the NBA the last two seasons. Even as his volume has increased, Williams has maintained his effiency. He's also a versatile defender, solid rebounder and good passer.

Iguodala has said this is it. But it's been an injury-plagued mess of a season. It's unlikely he'll come back for another run, but if he did, it'll be with Golden State.

If Haslem were to return, and it doesn't look like he will, it'll be with the Heat and no one else.

If Morris' three-point shooting felt a bit more real, he'd probably squeeze a couple more years out of his NBA career. As it is, he's a deep bench veteran big, and there are only so many of those spots to go around.

Bazley's play has slipped and he fell completely out of the Thunder's rotation and hasn't found a role with the Suns either. His potential will get him another deal, with a team hoping Bazley is a late-bloomer.

Schroder has adapted well to a bench scoring role. He's one of the better reserve guards in the league at the moment. Schroder can also start when necessary, but teams will view and pay him like a high-end backup.

For a while, it looked like Green wasn't a rotation guy anymore. Then he started seeing more minutes and he's put up a 54/38/78 shooting line, while still providing good rebounding at both the 4 and 5.

Dellavedova was added by the Kings to give them another veteran in the locker room. He's done his thing as a defender and playmaker. He could be back as a bench veteran next season, especially with the Kings success.

Lyles is an underrated player. He's become a good shooter and solid positional defender. His ability to play both the 4 and 5 gives him the versatility teams look for in the frontcourt.

Neto is what he he is at this point in his career: He's a solid veteran you can put at the end of your bench. If you need to plug him when others are out, he'll be ready to go. That should keep him in the NBA next season.

Carter has put together his best all-around season. He remains a pest on defense, while improving his shooting and playmaking. If the Bucks have to keep their tax bill down, someone could get a nice steal with Carter.

Smith has been one of the best stories in the NBA this season. He got back to the league by focusing on his defense and playmaking. If he shot it better, he'd be far higher on this list. As it is, he's in a great spot for a payday.

Arcidiacono is solid as a third point guard. He stays prepared and he works hard. That could see him back in the NBA next season, even if he'll probably have to fight his way onto a roster to get there.

The shine is off Holiday, as he'll be 27 before next season. But Holiday has shot it well throughout his career. There's something there, but he's probably a minimum guy as a backup or third point guard.

Watanabe is thought of as all energy, but there's more there. As Watanabe has upped his three-point volume to two attempts per game, he's hit 40.6%. That shooting and the ability to play both forward spots is huge.

The Wolves will probably pick up their team option for Knight. If Naz Reid leaves town, Knight could battle Luka Garza for the third-big minutes behind Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns next season.

Ntilikina's defense will keep getting him chances for another year or two. But he never built on the improved shooting he flashed at the end of his Knicks tenure. That keeps him a minimum salary, end-of-bench guy.

Finally healthy again, Carter-Williams re-signed with Orlando. He's yet to appear in a game, as of this writing. That makes it hard to know what Carter-Williams has left. He could be back to battle for a spot with the Magic.

Antetokounmpo is with the Bucks because he's an elite cheerleader on the bench and it keeps his brother happy. That'll get him another deal in Milwaukee.

Bates-Diop could be the sleeper of this class. He's seen more minutes and starts than he would on a playoff contender, but it's hard to ignore 50/39/78 shooting splits. Some smart team could scoop him up as a rotation forward.

Vincent hasn't seized the momentum he had a year ago, but he's been good enough to usurp Kyle Lowry as the starter in Miami. Vincent is probably best as a backup, but he's a good one and should be paid as such.

McDaniels was in the midst of a breakout season before being traded to the 76ers. His role has been lessened in Philadelphia, but if he can show his inside-outside game in the postseason, it will help his cause in free agency.

Martin has had a breakout season. His shot remains a work in progress, but he's an top-end finisher around the rim and flashes some defensive potential. Houston should decline their team option to control Martin's restricted free agency.

McBride only plays when the Knicks are missing another guard. But he does well enough in that role that the Knicks trust him. It wouldn't be a surprise to see New York pick up their option to delay free agency for a year.

For a while, it looked like Brissett was going to be a regular rotation player. This season, he's fallen out of favor as Indiana ran with small-ball lineups. Someone will grab Brissett and hope there's still some untapped potential there.

Jones has starter all year for the Spurs, but that's a circumstance thing vs what he really should be. But like brother Tyus, Jones has proven he can be a high-end backup. That's valuable with the Spurs or elsewhere.

Dosunmu's play has dipped just enough in his second season that he lost his starting role for the Bulls. He's more of a combo guard than a true point guard. That could end up costing Dosunmu some in free agency.

Banton is super intriguing. He's huge for the point guard position and he can generally get where he wants on the floor. The challenge is Banton can't really shoot. And he's struggled with injuries. Call him a low-risk flyer.

Gabriel is probably a little over his head as a rotation player. He doesn't have any standout traits. Ideally, he'd be a fifth big for a good team, instead of the key backup role he's had to play for the Lakers this season.

In Year 14, Johnson is a practice guy and a good locker room presence. If he's back somewhere next season, those are the reasons why.

In Year 12, Jackson's play has fallen off. He's suffered through a second straight year of iffy shooting. That cost him his role with the Clippers. Jackson is probably a minimum flyer for a playoff contender next season.

Beverly has had an interesting last few seasons. He helped Minnesota get to the playoffs, then bounced from the Jazz to the Lakers to the Magic to the Bulls. He's aging, but he can still defend and handle a starting role.

Dragic is winding down his career. He hasn't played much with either the Bulls or Bucks. If he wants to play a 16th season, someone will sign Dragic. If he doesn't, there's no shame in calling a really terrific career.

Augustin was a late-season signing to give the Rockets a grownup in the locker room. Pending how Houston builds out their roster next season, Augustin could be back. Or there's a chance this could be it for him in the NBA.

Lee is too good to be on a Two-Way deal. He should have a spot as a backup in the NBA. Some smart team could get a steal on a minimum deal with Lee.

Kabengele has been an excellent G League player for three seasons now. He's an excellent rebounder and rim protector in the minors. If he could shoot it better, he'd be an NBA guy. Alas, he's got one more season of Two-Way eligibility left.

Butler got himself back into the NBA by shining in the G League. If his shooting could hold around 40% or so from deep, Butler could contend for a roster spot. If not, he's probably a Two-Way or G League guy.

Hudgins has played really well in the G League, showing some scoring and shooting ability. His size works against him for an NBA role, but Hudgins has probably earned another Two-Way spot with his solid minor league play.

Pippen has done a nice job as a scorer in the G League. He's too quick and athletic for most defenders at that level. His shot, playmaking and defense are a work in progress. He'll be a Two-Way guy again.

Gillespie has missed his entire rookie season with a fractured left leg. He looked very good in Summer League before getting injuried. Look for the Nuggets to bring Gillespie back for a real look next season.

Winning the dunk contest as a highlight for McClung, but he's had a solid G League season too. He's shot well and developed into a solid playmaker. Look for McClung to get another Two-Way deal next season.

Davison has been as expected as a rookie. He's one of the most athletic guards in the league, a good defender, but he can't shoot. On the plus side, Davison has done a nice job a playmaker. Another Two-Way seems ideal.

Dowtin has had an interesting season. He's been very good in the G League. With a lack of better options, Nick Nurse even turned to Dowtin for minutes late in the regular season. He might get a standard deal next season.

Diakite is the NBA equivalent of a 4A player. He's too good for the G League, but not quite good enough for the NBA. He's got one more season of Two-Way eligibility, before he'll be fighting for backend roster spots.

Lofton has made a limited NBA impact, but he's been outstanding in the G League. This will be a big summer for Lofton, because if he starts hitting three-pointers, a whole new world of NBA possibilities will open up for him.

Mobley might have gotten his spot because his brother is a budding Cavs star. But Mobley kept it with dominant G League play. His numbers project favorably for a potential NBA role, but his age is starting to work against him a little bit.

Forrest hasn't played much in the NBA or the G League this season. He has another year of Two-Way eligibility, and he'll probably go to training camp to fight for a roster spot somewhere.

Maledon has been unable to build on his solid rookie season of two years ago. Still, Maledon has shown enough that as he enters his age-22 season, teams will give him another chance as a potential late-bloomer.

Wright has done well in the G League, but his limited size works against him for NBA opportunities. He'll probably get another Two-Way opportunity, but he'll have to really show out to earn more than that.

Washington is another of those 4A guys. He's done well in limited G League games, and he's kind of hung in there in the NBA. Someone will give him another shot on a Two-Way deal.

Barlow is one of the younger players in the NBA. He won't turn 20 until the end of May. San Antonio may bring him back for another year on a Two-Way.

Diabate has had very little impact in the NBA, but he's been good in the G League. He's shown some elite rebounding skills, along with solid finishing and good rim protection. He'll likely get another Two-Way deal.
