NBA Free Agency 2016: Shooting Guards

Dwyane Wade is an NBA legend and Bradley Beal will probably be a star, but with DeMar DeRozan at his best he’s without a question the top free agent at the shooting guard position.

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

Player Option / Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Team: Toronto
23.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 4.0 apg

The three-point shot is still not falling at a good rate, but he's playing the best basketball of his career this season. Likely to opt out and sign a max deal somewhere.

Agent: Aaron Goodwin
2015/16 Earnings: $9,500,000
Career Earnings: $39,755,770
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Team: Washington
17.4 ppg, 3.4 rpg

We were expecting a breakout season from Beal, but didn't happen. Concerns about his durability having missed 81 games in the last four years. The Wizards will have to pay top dollar to keep him in DC, though.

Agent: Mark Bartelstein
2015/16 Earnings: $5,694,673
Career Earnings: $18,652,514
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: Miami
19.0 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 4.6 apg

Played at his usual All-Star level once again. Likely to re-sign and recruit for the Heat.

Agent: Henry Thomas
2015/16 Earnings: $20,000,000
Career Earnings: $156,321,666
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: LA Lakers
15.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg

Star potential or just a guy putting up nice numbers on a bad team?

Agent: Jeff Austin
2015/16 Earnings: $845,059
Career Earnings: $1,352,395
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: Orlando
15.4 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 2.7 apg

Had a really strong start of the season that he could not sustain. A capable shooter that can help a lot of teams.

Agent: Bouna Ndiaye
2015/16 Earnings: $2,288,204
Career Earnings: $6,556,245
Player Option / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: Cleveland
12.4 ppg, 2.8 rpg

You will love him and hate him the same game. Looks like a star sometimes, but no consistency.

Agent: Leon Rose
2015/16 Earnings: $5,000,000
Career Earnings: $45,546,390
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Team: LA Clippers
14.2 ppg, 2.3 apg

The three-time Sixth Man of the Year is still bringing instant firepower off the bench. But how much left in the tank?

Agent: Greg Lawrence
2015/16 Earnings: $5,675,000
Career Earnings: $90,771,497
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Team: Charlotte
9.6 ppg, 2.6 rpg

Has not played so well in the postseason, but would be a solid perimeter addition for many NBA teams.

Agent: Daniel Frank
2015/16 Earnings: $5,675,000
Career Earnings: $27,424,813
Player Option / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: San Antonio
9.6 ppg, 3.1 apg

Looks rejuvenated this season in San Antonio, which makes us think this might not be his final year in the NBA.

Agent: Herb Rudoy
2015/16 Earnings: $2,814,000
Career Earnings: $111,039,615
Player Option / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Team: New York
12.8 ppg, 3.7 rpg

Didn't finish the year on a strong note. The Knicks were perhaps showing him the door with those late-season benchings.

Agent: Sam Goldfeder
2015/16 Earnings: $8,000,000
Career Earnings: $43,380,777
Team Option / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Team: Memphis
8.3 ppg, 3.2 rpg

Indiana's Lance Stephenson was not seen in Charlotte or Los Angeles. Looked much better for a depleted Memphis team late in the season.

Agent: Alberto Ebanks
2015/16 Earnings: $9,000,000
Career Earnings: $21,435,000
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: Oklahoma City
9.8 ppg, 2.6 rpg

Has obviously talent, but doesn't have the highest basketball IQ in basketball.

Agent: Rob Pelinka
2015/16 Earnings: $5,138,430
Career Earnings: $16,821,270
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: New Orleans
15.2 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 2.7 apg

The injury-prone Eric Gordon has not been able to live up to his huge contract, but he would be a serviceable scoring guard for many teams.

Agent: Rob Pelinka
2015/16 Earnings: $15,514,031
Career Earnings: $70,656,507
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Team: San Antonio
9.3 ppg, 2.0 rpg

A very fine perimeter scorer in the NBA in the last decade. He's 33 already.

Agent: Dan Fegan
2015/16 Earnings: $7,402,474
Career Earnings: $79,198,566
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-3 / Team: Golden State
6.4 ppg, 1.7 rpg

Has good motor for his age. Interesting contributor off the bench for the Warriors.

Agent: Sam Goldfeder
2015/16 Earnings: $2,500,000
Career Earnings: $42,467,358
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Team: Portland
8.7 ppg, 2.9 rpg

Could have shined brighter on a team where he was going to have playing time.

Agent: Jim Tanner
2015/16 Earnings: $6,000,000
Career Earnings: $27,412,847
