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 15.2 ppg, 6.2 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.
