NBA Free Agency 2016: Point Guards

The point guard position is probably the strongest in the NBA these days, but most of the top playmakers are locked into deals. So not an awful lot of talent available in 2016.

POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS

1. Mike Conley Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: Memphis 15.3 ppg, 6.1 apg All-Star caliber point guard that has yet to make the All-Star. The player with the most games in Grizzlies history is about to get a pay raise… and deservedly so.

Agent: Mike Conley

2. Rajon Rondo Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: Sacramento 11.9 ppg, 11.7 apg, 6.0 rpg Signed a one-year deal in Sacramento with hopes of reviving his NBA career. He did just that, although it didn't translate into many wins.

3. Jeremy Lin Player Option / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Charlotte 11.7 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 3.0 apg Helped himself tremendously this year as a bench player for the Charlotte Hornets. Perfect fit there.

5. Brandon Jennings Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: Orlando 6.9 ppg, 3.5 apg Was playing the most efficient basketball of his career when he broke his left Achilles tendon. Has been solid if not speactacular upon his return.

Career Earnings: $34,172,853

6. Ty Lawson Unrestricted / Point Guard / 5-11 / Team: Indiana 5.7 ppg, 3.6 apg The Ty Lawson experiment didn't work in Houston and Indiana. Career at crossroads for a player that was considered a borderline All-Star not long ago.

Career Earnings: $41,745,737

7. Matthew Dellavedova Restricted / Point Guard / 6-4 / Team: Cleveland 7.5 ppg, 4.4 apg Gets under the skin of opponents with a very physical brand of basketball. Has become more of a threat offensively.

8. Raymond Felton Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: Dallas 9.5 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 3.6 apg Comes off the worst season of his career PER-wise. Will be a backup point guard somewhere again, though.
