	1. Stephen Curry Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Golden State 25.3 ppg, 6.6 apg

Chris Paul is on the wrong side of 30, but suitors will line up for his services regardless. You would expect him to lose a step by now. It hasn’t happened yet.

	6. Jeff Teague Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Team: Indiana 15.3 ppg, 7.8 apg, 4.0 rpg

	7. Derrick Rose Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: New York 18.0 ppg, 4.4 apg, 3.8 rpg

	11. Deron Williams Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Cleveland 11.0 ppg, 5.6 apg

	12. Yogi Ferrell Team Option / Point Guard / 6-0 / Team: Dallas 10.0 ppg, 3.7 apg

	14. Michael Carter-Williams Restricted / Point Guard / 6-6 / Team: Chicago 6.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg

	15. Milos Teodosic Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-5 / Team: CSKA Moscow (Russia) 16.3 ppg, 7.2 apg

Career Earnings: $0

	16. Brandon Jennings Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: Washington 7.1 ppg, 4.9 apg

Career Earnings: $39,172,853

	19. Langston Galloway Player Option / Point Guard / 6-2 / Team: New Orleans 7.9 ppg, 2.1 rpg

	23. Raymond Felton Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: LA Clippers 6.7 ppg, 2.7 rpg

Career Earnings: $50,305,743

	24. Jose Calderon Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Atlanta 3.4 ppg, 2.1 rpg

	31. Brian Roberts Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: Charlotte 3.5 ppg, 1.3 apg
