POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDSPOWER FORWARDS / CENTERS

1. Malik Beasley / SG / Detroit

Finished second in made three-pointers last season while shooting 41.6 percent from three. A confident shooter from the outside with a quick release and good rise on his jumper. One of the best shooting specialists in the league right now.

2024/25 stats: 16.3 ppg, 1.7 apg, 2.6 rpg, 0.9 spg, 43.0 FG%, 41.6 3P%2024/25 earnings: $6,000,000Career earnings: $60,019,256Agent: Daniel Hazan2. Ben Simmons / PG / Brooklyn

Bright side: He played basketball full-time again last year. Downside: He averaged fewer than three points per game in Los Angeles during the regular season. Still, he’s a big name with a lot of athleticism so he’ll garner free-agent interest.

2024/25 stats: 5.0 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 5.6 apg, 0.7 spg, 0.5 bpg, 52.0 FG%2024/25 earnings: $40,338,144Career earnings: $203,863,8093. Precious Achiuwa / C / Miami

He didn’t make the opening day roster in a Miami reunion, so he will looking for another home as a backup small-ball five on the market. Achiuwa provided impactful minutes for the Knicks, when they were thin in the front court, and gave them good minutes there.

2024/25 stats: 6.6 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 1.0 apg, 0.8 spg, 0.7 bpg, 50.2 FG%2024/25 earnings: $6,000,000Career earnings: $18,513,126Agent: Raymond Brothers4. Cameron Payne / PG / New York

Solid backup point guard with very good quickness and some scoring ability from beyond the arc. Can be a pest on defense, too, and set up teammates for good looks.

2024/25 stats: 6.9 ppg, 1.4 rpg, 2.8 apg, 40.1 FG%, 36.3 3P%2024/25 earnings: $3,003,427Career earnings: $36,845,989Agent: Jason Glushon5. Seth Curry / SG / Golden State

Another last-minute cut from the Warriors, due to the team trying to avoid the second apron. He is likely to re-sign with Golden State at some point soon, but for now he remains a free agent.

2024/25 stats: 6.5 ppg, 1.7 rpg, 0.9 apg, 47.8 FG%, 45.6 3P%2024/25 earnings: $3,303,771Career earnings: $49,086,803Agent: Austin Brown6. Dalano Banton / PG / Portland

Lead guard with fantastic size at 6-foot-9. Solid playmaker and slasher, and his three-point shooting, a former weakness, has really improved this season, which should up his free-agent value.

2024/25 stats: 8.3 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 2.4 apg, 39.1 FG%, 32.4 3P%2024/25 earnings: $2,196,970Career earnings: $6,705,452Agent: Daniel Poneman and Mike Naiditch7. Cody Martin / SF / Phoenix

Cody Martin is another bench option that could be useful for teams looking for depth at the wings. His track record shows he isn’t the best floor spacer and shoots poorly from deep, but he could provide something as a defender and rotation player.

2024/25 stats: 6.8 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.0 apg, 1.1 spg, 41.8 FG%, 28.5 3P%2024/25 earnings: $8,120,000Career earnings: $27,153,912Agent: Eric Fleisher8. Monte Morris / PG / Phoenix

The point guard gambled last year, and it did not turn out well for him. He turned down more lucrative offers and took a one-year deal with the Suns, and that experiment did not end well for him. He now finds himself looking for another home, preferably as a backup point guard, a role he is familiar with for most of his career.

2024/25 stats: 5.2 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 1.6 apg, 0.4 spg, 42.6 FG%, 36.0 3P%2024/25 earnings: $2,800,834Career earnings: $34,914,405Agent: Andy Shiffman9. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl / PF / Dallas

The four-year pro has played for the Thunder and Pelicans, and can provide depth as a stretch big that can hit the occasional three. Projected more as a third-string big man, he may garner attention with teams looking for depth for big men.

2024/25 stats: 6.3 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 1.3 apg, 0.6 spg, 45.5 FG%, 34.1 3P%2024/25 earnings: $2,196,970Career earnings: $8,745,813Agent: Wasserman10. Ricky Council IV / SF / Philadelphia

The undrafted swingman spent the past two seasons with the Sixers, but found himself the odd man out last summer. He plays best in transition and provides depth from the bench. He should be able to find another opportunity soon, due to his age and upside.

2024/25 stats: 7.3 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 1.3 apg, 0.4 spg, 38.2 FG%, 25.8 3P%2024/25 earnings: $1,891,857Career earnings: $2,756,210Agent: Adie von Gontard11. Garrison Mathews / SG / New York

The sharpshooter was the odd man out when the Knicks made last cuts before the regular season started. He played the previous two-plus seasons with the Hawks. With the market always looking for shooting, he should have interest around the league.

2024/25 stats: 7.5 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 1.3 apg, 0.6 spg, 39.7 FG%, 39.0 3P%2024/25 earnings: $2,230,253Career earnings: $8,997,873Agent: Chris Patrick and David Bauman12. Killian Hayes / PG / Cleveland

The former seventh overall pick has been searching for stability ever since he was released from the Pistons. He can provide depth as a floor general, but his efficiency is still a concern. However, he is still young, so he may get another opportunity soon.

2024/25 stats: 9.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 5.2 apg, 0.7 spg, 41.9 FG%, 38.1 3P%2024/25 earnings: $128,603Career earnings: $24,260,118Agent: Yann Balikouzou13. DaQuan Jeffries / SG / Charlotte

The two-guard carved out a decent role for half the season with Charlotte the past year, but remains a player looking for another opportunity. He provides end-of-the-bench depth for teams in need of a guard.

2024/25 stats: 6.7 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 1.1 apg, 0.6 spg, 40.5 FG%, 33.5 3P%2024/25 earnings: $2,425,403Career earnings: $7,006,281Agent: Erik Kabe and Bill Duffy14. Dennis Smith / PG / Dallas

Once considered one of the rising stars of the Mavericks, that didn’t happen once Luka Doncic arrived in Dallas. Since then, Smith Jr. has bounced around five teams before returning to Dallas for this past training camp. However, he was one of the cuts heading into the regular season. He will now continue to look for any teams looking for help at the point guard position.

2024/25 stats: 6.7 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 1.1 apg, 0.6 spg, 40.5 FG%, 33.5 3P%2024/25 earnings: DNPCareer earnings: $23,360,347Agent: Daniel Hazan15. Delon Wright / PG / Indiana

The NBA can be a cruel world. After suffering two head collisions in a preseason game for the Pacers, he was waived two days later. The point guard played a backup defensive role for the Knicks last season, and should remain on teams’ radars when they are looking for defensive guards.

2024/25 stats: 3.1 ppg, 1.7 rpg, 1.9 apg, 0.9 spg, 34.4 FG%, 27.4 3P%2024/25 earnings: $3,003,427Career earnings: $53,272,165Agent: Greg Lawrence16. KJ Martin / SF / Utah

After spending his first three seasons with the Rockets, the forward has been on three teams the past two seasons. Known for his athleticism, Martin should garner some interest with his youth and upside.

2024/25 stats: 6.4 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 1.1 apg, 0.4 spg, 55.2 FG%, 25.9 3P%2024/25 earnings: $7,975,000Career earnings: $14,104,593Agent: Aaron Mintz17. Markelle Fultz / PG / Sacramento

The former first overall pick signed and played sparingly for Sacramento towards the end of last season, after spending five years in Orlando. Knee injuries have zapped much of the burst and athleticism that made him a threat around the rim. Teams may still take a flyer on him, but the chances seem to be getting slimmer.

2024/25 stats: 2.9 ppg, 1.0 rpg, 1.3 apg, 0.5 spg, 41.8 FG%, 50.0 3P%2024/25 earnings: $981,902Career earnings: $87,400,017Agent: Raymond Brothers18. Alec Burks / SG / Miami

The 14-year veteran played for half a season with Miami, still showcasing his ability to hit threes and mid-range shots efficiently. He played meaningful minutes for the Knicks two seasons ago in the playoffs as well. It would not be shocking if he found his way back on an NBA roster sooner rather than later thanks to his ability to space the floor.

2024/25 stats: 7.3 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 1.1 apg, 0.6 spg, 42.4 FG%, 42.5 3P%2024/25 earnings: $3,303,771Career earnings: $92,878,624Agent: Rich Paul, Anthony Fields, Mike George19. Dariq Whitehead / SF / Brooklyn

Known for his explosiveness, which made him a first-round pick just two seasons ago. Unfortunately, injuries to his knee and foot have zapped much of his athleticism and the Nets cut bait just a few weeks ago. The Thunder signed and waived him to retain his Exhibit 10 rights. Due to his young age and upside, there still seems like he may have more opportunities.

2024/25 stats: 5.7 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 0.6 apg, 0.3 spg, 40.6 FG%, 44.6 3P%2024/25 earnings: $3,114,342Career earnings: $6,080,382Agent: James Dunleavy and Mike Lindeman20. Charles Bassey / PF / San Antonio2024/25 stats: 4.4 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 0.5 apg, 0.4 spg, 58.1 FG%, 0.0 3P%2024/25 earnings: $2,162,606Career earnings: $8,362,606Agent: Adie von Gontard and Daveed Cohen21. Cory Joseph / PG / Orlando2024/25 stats: 3.5 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 1.4 apg, 0.5 spg, 40.3 FG%, 36.4 3P%2024/25 earnings: $3,303,771Career earnings: $78,906,872Agent: Rich Paul22.
