2022 NBA free agency is right around the corner. This isn’t considered to be a blockbuster free agent class, but there are several impact players available.

In these rankings, we took a similar approach to the one many teams use when it comes to ranking available players. Each position was broken down into tiers. The tiers are:

  • All-Star: These aren’t all necessarily All-Stars, but they have the ability to be an All-Star
  • Starters: These players are either starters or they produce at a starter-level of impact
  • Rotation: These are solid players that should be in a team’s regular season rotation

Players were then ranked within their tiers. All potential free agents have been ranked, including those with pending options.
