The top free agents of the 2017 class will be unrestricted, which could make that month of July both exciting and nerve-wracking for a bunch of NBA teams.
POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS
 |
1. Kevin Durant
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-9 / Team: Golden State
25.1 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 4.9 apg
|
|
One of the most gifted offensive players in NBA history. Will be looking to re-up with Golden State in July 2017 – perhaps after winning his first championship ring. |
|
 |
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Golden State
25.3 ppg, 6.6 apg
|
|
The back-to-back MVP hits free agency in July and he’s a mortal lock to get a maximum contract. With the Warriors rolling, it’s hard to picture him leaving the Bay Area anytime soon. |
|
 |
Player Option / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: LA Clippers
21.6 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 4.9 apg
|
|
Look for him to opt out and get a humongous deal. With the Clippers’ championship window closing, will he look for greener pastures? |
|
 |
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Utah
21.9 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 3.5 apg
|
|
The versatile forward will become a free agent right in the middle of his prime years. Keeping him in Utah will not come cheap. |
|
 |
5. Chris Paul
Player Option / Point Guard / 6-0 / Team: LA Clippers
18.1 ppg, 9.2 apg, 5.0 rpg
|
|
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. Kyle Lowry
Player Option / Point Guard / 6-0 / Team: Toronto
22.4 ppg, 7.0 apg, 4.8 rpg
|
|
The Raptors playmaker is having a career year… again. His backcourt combo with DeMar DeRozan is just top-notch. |
|
 |
7. Paul Millsap
Player Option / Power Forward / 6-8 / Team: Atlanta
18.1 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 3.7 apg
|
|
Overachieves year after year. May not have superstar talent, but makes a very noticeable impact on both ends of the court. |
|
 |
8. Jrue Holiday
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-4 / Team: New Orleans
15.4 ppg, 7.3 apg, 3.9 rpg
|
|
Highly productive player when healthy. Durability is an obvious issue with him. |
|
 |
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-10 / Team: Denver
18.2 ppg, 5.2 rpg
|
|
A big forward with unlimited range? That’s very valuable in the NBA these days. Likely to land a massive deal. |
|
 |
10. Serge Ibaka
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: Toronto
14.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 1.6 bpg
|
|
He’s no longer in the conversation for Defensive Player of the Year, but remains a high-quality power forward with ever-improving three-point prowess. |
|
 |
11. Pau Gasol
Player Option / Power Forward / 7-0 / Team: San Antonio
12.4 ppg, 7.8 rpg
|
|
Like most, he’s sacrificing stats in order to fit with what the Spurs do. His stint in San Antonio is mostly a success story so far. |
|
 |
12. Dwyane Wade
Player Option / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: Chicago
18.3 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 3.8 apg
|
|
Wade has started to show his age. Has not been a great fit in Chicago. Can pick his team again this summer if he opts out. |
|
 |
13. George Hill
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Utah
16.9 ppg, 4.1 apg, 3.4 rpg
|
|
The always reliable Hill is having his best year on the offensive end. Has missed a lot of games, though. |
|
 |
14. Otto Porter
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Washington
13.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg
|
|
His strong play has been a quite welcome event for the Wizards. Timing couldn’t be better for him money-wise. |
|
 |
15. Greg Monroe
Player Option / Center / 6-11 / Team: Milwaukee
11.7 ppg, 6.6 rpg
|
|
Great low-post game and nice touch around the rim. Has not been a hit with the Bucks. |
|
 |
16. Jeff Teague
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Team: Indiana
15.3 ppg, 7.8 apg, 4.0 rpg
|
|
Still only 28, the dynamic Teague has many good basketball years ahead of him. |
|
 |
17. Nerlens Noel
Restricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Dallas
8.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg
|
|
Defense-oriented big man with a lot of upside and some red flags. |
|
 |
18. JJ Redick
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: LA Clippers
15.0 ppg, 2.2 rpg
|
|
Excellent shooter, decent defender and great locker room guy. Regressed a bit this season. |
|
 |
19. Dirk Nowitzki
Team Option / Power Forward / 7-0 / Team: Dallas
14.2 ppg, 6.5 rpg
|
|
Father Time is definitely started to beat Dirk Nowitzki this season. He’s not looking to retire, though. |
|
 |
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Team: Detroit
13.8 ppg, 3.3 rpg
|
|
Many of us expected him to have a breakout season with the Pistons. Didn’t happen. There will still be a market for him. |
|
 |
21. Mason Plumlee
Restricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Denver
10.4 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 3.5 apg
|
|
The Nuggets gave up Jusuf Nurkic to acquire him. Hard to picture them letting him go. |
|
 |
22. Rudy Gay
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Sacramento
18.7 ppg, 6.3 rpg
|
|
Probably hoping he can pull a Wesley Matthews and land a big contract following a season-ending injury. |
|
 |
23. Andre Iguodala
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-6 / Team: Golden State
7.6 ppg, 4.0 rpg
|
|
One of the most efficient perimeter defenders around. Still pretty athletic at his age. Performance is way better than stats show. |
|
 |
24. Derrick Rose
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: New York
18.0 ppg, 4.4 apg, 3.8 rpg
|
|
His play was solid if unspectacular in New York. Didn’t help himself by going AWOL before a game vs. New Orleans. |
|
 |
25. Dion Waiters
Player Option / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: Miami
15.8 ppg, 4.3 apg, 3.3 rpg
|
|
Had a breakout season in Miami as one of the main pieces of the overachieving Heat. Played way more efficient basketball than he used to. |
|
 |
26. Rajon Rondo
Team Option / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: Chicago
7.8 ppg, 6.7 apg, 5.1 rpg
|
|
Helped himself in Sacramento after bombing in Dallas. Will look to further revitalize his career in Chicago. |
|
 |
27. Ersan Ilyasova
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: Atlanta
13.1 ppg, 5.9 rpg
|
|
Has been averaging 12ish points and 6ish rebounds for ages. A proven commodity. |
|
 |
28. PJ Tucker
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-6 / Team: Toronto
6.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg
|
|
Underrated defender at the wing positions. A lot of teams could use him. |
|
 |
29. Patrick Mills
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-0 / Team: San Antonio
9.5 ppg, 3.5 apg
|
|
The scrappy, high-energy guard is a boon for the Spurs. Making threes at a super high rate this season. |
|
 |
30. Kyle Korver
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Team: Cleveland
10.1 ppg, 2.8 rpg
|
|
There will be a market for a shooter like him even at age 36. |
|
 |
31. Zach Randolph
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Memphis
14.1 ppg, 8.2 rpg
|
|
Still rebounding very well and doing damage in the post after all these years. |
|
 |
32. Dewayne Dedmon
Player Option / Center / 6-11 / Team: San Antonio
5.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg
|
|
Another great pickup by the Spurs. Quite a defensive presence for them. |
|
 |
33. Tim Hardaway Jr
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: Atlanta
14.5 ppg, 2.8 rpg
|
|
Putting together his best season yet in a contract year. Bodes well for him in free agency. |
|
 |
34. Taj Gibson
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Oklahoma City
10.8 ppg, 6.2 rpg
|
|
Has mostly come off the bench the last couple of seasons. Remains a consistent contributor – especially on the defensive end. |
|
 |
35. Nikola Mirotic
Restricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: Chicago
10.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg
|
|
Left Europe as a superstar and had a strong rookie season. Has been quite disappointing ever since. |
|
 |
36. Shaun Livingston
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-7 / Team: Golden State
5.1 ppg, 2.0 rpg
|
|
A fantastic fit in Golden State. Has a lot of flair to his game and a killer mid-range game too |
|
 |
37. Kelly Olynyk
Restricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Boston
9.0 ppg, 4.8 rpg
|
|
Figures to be a productive reserve big men for a lot of years. |
|
|
38. Aron Baynes
Player Option / Center / 6-10 / Team: Detroit
4.9 ppg, 4.4 rpg
|
|
|
Super strong backup center will play physical every minute on the floor. |
|
 |
39. James Johnson
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / Team: Miami
12.8 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 3.6 apg
|
|
Got in good shape and had an unexpectedly good season. Will play hard at both forward spots. |
|
 |
40. Bojan Bogdanovic
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Washington
13.7 ppg, 3.4 rpg
|
|
Can shoot the hell out of the ball. Three-point sniper will get paid. |
|
 |
41. Andre Roberson
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Team: Oklahoma City
6.6 ppg, 5.1 rpg
|
|
Terrific defender. Doesn’t bring much on the offensive end. Terrible three-point shooter. |
|
 |
42. Joe Ingles
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Utah
7.1 ppg, 3.2 rpg
|
|
Doesn’t put up great numbers, yet quietly helps his team a lot. Excellent role player. |
|
 |
43. Amir Johnson
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Boston
6.5 ppg, 4.6 rpg
|
|
A glue guy on the court and in the locker room. A lot of teams could use his veteran presence. |
|
 |
44. Shabazz Muhammad
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-6 / Team: Minnesota
9.9 ppg, 2.8 rpg
|
|
Hard for him to get playing time on a team with so much talent at the wing. Nice scorer. |
|
|
45. Jonathon Simmons
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: San Antonio
6.2 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|
|
|
One of the most athletic players we’ve seen wearing a Spur jersey. Although that might not be saying much… |
|
 |
46. Tony Allen
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: Memphis
9.1 ppg, 5.5 rpg
|

Thirteen years into his NBA career, he remains a very good perimeter defender. |
|
 |
47. Tyreke Evans
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: Sacramento
10.3 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 3.1 apg
|

|
 |
48. Deron Williams
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Cleveland
11.0 ppg, 5.6 apg
|
|
Backup point guard for another veteran contending team next season? |
|
 |
49. Manu Ginobili
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: San Antonio
7.5 ppg, 2.7 rpg
|
|
Has a little left in the tank. Will he return for another season? |
|
 |
50. JaVale McGee
Unrestricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Golden State
6.1 ppg, 3.2 rpg
|
|
Out of nowhere, he’s putting together a great season as a bit player with the Warriors. Fits in really well there. |
|
 |
51. Yogi Ferrell
Team Option / Point Guard / 6-0 / Team: Dallas
10.0 ppg, 3.7 apg

6.8 ppg, 4.5 rpg

|
 |
53. JaMychal Green
Restricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Team: Memphis
8.9 ppg, 7.1 rpg

|
A workhorse for the Grizzlies. Prety good fit there. |
|
 |

Super active perimeter defender who shot a career-high 39.1 percent from three for the Clippers this year. |
|
 |
55. Robert Covington
Team Option / Small Forward / 6-9 / Team: Philadelphia
12.9 ppg, 6.5 rpg

 |
56. Ty Lawson
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 5-11 / Team: Sacramento
9.9 ppg, 4.9 apg
|
|
Had a bounce-back year on the court with the Kings. Off-the-court issues may scare teams away, though. |
|
 |
57. Thabo Sefolosha
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Team: Atlanta
7.2 ppg, 4.4 rpg
|
|
The defensive ace lost his starting spot with the Hawks late in the season. |
|
 |
Restricted / Center / 6-9 / Team: Chicago
4.8 ppg, 4.7 rpg

|
 |
Restricted / Point Guard / 6-6 / Team: Chicago
6.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg
|

Scoring and assists numbers have gone down each of his seasons in the NBA. Not a good look. Poses no threat from the perimeter. |
|
 |
60. Nenê

9.1 ppg, 4.2 rpg
|
|

Player Option / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: San Antonio
7.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg

|
 |
62. Andrew Bogut
Unrestricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Cleveland
2.9 ppg, 8.1 rpg
|
|
Real fine post defender who takes high-percentage shots and will not complain about lack of touches. Gets injured a lot. |
|
 |
63. Milos Teodosic
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-5 / Team: CSKA Moscow (Russia)
16.3 ppg, 7.2 apg
|

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

|
 |
65. Vince Carter
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: Memphis
8.0 ppg, 3.1 rpg

3.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg
|

67. Zaza Pachulia
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Golden State
6.1 ppg, 5.9 rpg

|
|
68. Jeff Green
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / Team: Orlando
9.2 ppg, 3.1 rpg
|
|
|
His teams are typically better when he’s off the floor, which is kind of a head-scratcher for a player with such obvious talent. |
|
 |
69. David West
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Golden State
4.6 ppg, 3.0 rpg
|
|
Made pretty good use of the little playing time he enjoyed with the Warriors. Only contender apply. |
|
 |
70. Darren Collison
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-0 / Team: Sacramento
13.2 ppg, 4.6 rpg

Might be a better fit as a backup point guard on a good team than starting for a bad one. |
|
 |
71. Tony Snell

8.5 ppg, 3.1 rpg

9.4 ppg, 3.4 rpg
|

Never met a shot he didn’t like and now he’s making those with more efficiency than ever before. Made 53.3 percent of his attempts this season. Still not a fan of the three. |
|
 |
75. CJ Miles
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-6 / Team: Indiana
10.7 ppg, 3.0 rpg
|

Consumate pro who plays with effort. Shot better than 40 percent from three for the first time in his pro career this year. |

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

|
 |
79. Roy Hibbert
Unrestricted / Center / 7-2 / Team: Denver
4.6 ppg, 3.2 rpg
|

The changes in the NBA have not played up to his strengths. Lack of mobility is troubling in this pace-and-space era. |
|
 |
80. Alan Williams
Restricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Team: Phoenix
7.4 ppg, 6.2 rpg
|
|
Has hustled his way to a good contract. The Suns were much better defensively with him on the court. |
|
 |
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 7-0 / Team: New Orleans
4.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg
|
|
Players only 34 games after signing a minimum deal in January. Not a dream season for him. |
|
 |
82. Ben McLemore
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Team: Sacramento
8.1 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|
|
Lack of improvement is disappointing – if not surprising considering he’s spent his whole career in Sacramento. |
|
 |
Player Option / Center / 6-10 / Team: LA Clippers
8.7 ppg, 4.5 rpg
|
|
He has cut down on the long twos to take more threes… with some success: 37.2 percent shooting from beyond the arc. |
|
 |
84. Justin Holiday

7.7 ppg, 2.8 rpg

|
 |
86. Sergio Rodriguez
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Philadelphia

|
 |
87. Dante Cunningham
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: New Orleans
6.6 ppg, 4.2 rpg

|
Puts in great effort and has become an outside threat. Likely to opt out and cash in. |
|
 |
88. Gerald Green
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Boston
5.6 ppg, 1.8 rpg
|
|
Can still jump out of the gym at age 31. Will be a bench player somewhere. |
|
 |
89. Jared Sullinger
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Phoenix
3.4 ppg, 2.5 rpg
|
|
Was waived after the trade deadline and no team picked him up. Doesn’t bode well for free agency. |
|
 |
90. Willie Reed
Player Option / Center / 6-9 / Team: Miami
5.3 ppg, 4.7 rpg
|
|
Became a solid rotation players for a pretty decent team in Miami. Will not have to do the minimum contract thing again. |

98. Jason Terry
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-2 / Team: Milwaukee
4.1 ppg, 1.4 rpg

You can do a lot worse if you’re looking for a veteran to hit open threes. He shot a career-high 42.7 percent from beyond the arc with the Bucks. |
|
 |
99. Aaron Brooks
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-0 / Team: Indiana
5.0 ppg, 1.9 apg

|
 |
100. Brandon Bass
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Team: LA Clippers
5.6 ppg, 2.5 rpg

Mid-range shots are still falling at a good rate. Didn’t play much with the Clippers, but can’t complain about production when he did. |
|
 |
101. Derrick Williams
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Team: Cleveland
6.1 ppg, 2.6 rpg
|
|
Played well with the Knicks, fell out of the rotation with the Heat and vindicated himself a little bit with the Cavs. |
|
 |
102. Anthony Morrow
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Team: Chicago
5.5 ppg, 0.6 rpg

|
 |
103. Mike Muscala
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Atlanta
6.2 ppg, 3.4 rpg

|
 |
104. Luke Babbitt
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / Team: Miami
4.8 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|
|
Hits three-pointers with good percentages. Other than that, doesn’t bring much to the table. |
|
|
105. Terrence Jones
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Milwaukee
10.8 ppg, 5.7 rpg
|
|
|
Both New Orleans and Milwaukee waived him this season. No bueno. |
|
 |
106. Troy Williams
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-7 / Team: Houston
6.2 ppg, 2.3 rpg
|
|
The super athletic Williams is too good to be in the D-League. Has yet to prove he belongs in the NBA. |
|
 |
107. Raymond Felton
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: LA Clippers
6.7 ppg, 2.7 rpg
|
|
The Clippers’ net rating was -14.9 when he was on the floor, which probably had something to do with being a backup for point god Chris Paul. |
|
 |
108. Jodie Meeks
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: Orlando
9.1 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|
|
Injuries have stalled the the career of this sharp-shooting guard. Only 39 games the last two seasons. |
|
 |
109. KJ McDaniels
Team Option / Small Forward / 6-6 / Team: Brooklyn
4.2 ppg, 1.7 rpg
|
|
Looked more than decently in his late-season audition with the Nets. |
|
 |
110. Jose Calderon
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Atlanta
3.4 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|
|
Great veteran locker room presence. On-court production has dropped noticeably. |
|
 |
111. Kris Humphries
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Atlanta
4.6 ppg, 3.7 rpg
|
|
Has re-invented himself as a stretch big man, but with limited success. |
|
 |
112. Tyler Ennis
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Team: LA Lakers
4.3 ppg, 1.6 apg
|
|
Helped himself with productive play late in the season when the Lakers were in full-tank mode. |
|
 |
113. Joffrey Lauvergne
Restricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Chicago
5.4 ppg, 3.6 rpg
|
|
Has not been able to establish himself as a key rotation player anywhere yet. He’s 25, though, so probably getting another chance. |
|
 |
114. Lavoy Allen
Team Option / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Indiana
2.9 ppg, 3.6 rpg
|
|
Posted career lows across the board in 2016-17. |
|
 |
115. Beno Udrih
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Team: Detroit
5.8 ppg, 3.4 apg
|
|
Remains a solid if unspectacular backup point guard after all these years. |
|
 |
116. James Michael McAdoo
Restricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Golden State
2.8 ppg, 1.7 rpg
|
|
A bit player for the Warriors for three years now. Another one coming? |
|
 |
117. Trey Burke
Restricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: Washington
5.0 ppg, 1.8 apg
|
|
He was not going to play a lot on a team with John Wall. Averaged career-lows across the board. |
|
 |
118. Luis Scola
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Brooklyn
5.1 ppg, 3.9 rpg
|
|
Got a buyout with the Nets and finished the season as a free agent. Could he be looking to return to FIBA ball? |
|
 |
119. Brandon Rush
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: Minnesota
4.2 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|
|
Had the worst PER of any player with at least 1,000 minutes played this season. |
|
|
120. Adreian Payne
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Minnesota
3.5 ppg, 1.8 rpg
|
|
|
Played a career-low 135 minutes this season. Not how you want to go into free agency. |
|
|
121. Randy Foye
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: Brooklyn
5.2 ppg, 2.2 rpg
|
|
|
Has shot below 42 percent from the field every season since 2008. There may not be another deal for him. |
|
 |
122. Mike Scott
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Team: Phoenix
2.5 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|
|
Got waived right after his trade to Phoenix. Shot a dismal 29.3 percent from the field in limited playing time with Atlanta. |
|
 |
123. Norris Cole

3.3 ppg, 1.1 apg

|
 |
124. Josh McRoberts
Player Option / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: Miami
4.9 ppg, 3.4 rpg
|
|
Missed much of the season due to injury, which has been kind of a pattern with him lately. |
|
 |
125. Wayne Selden
Team Option / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Team: Memphis
5.1 ppg, 1.1 rpg
|
|
Started the season in the D-League and finished it playing important minutes for the Grizzlies in the playoffs. Very important exposure for him. |
|
 |
126. Greivis Vasquez
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-6 / Team: Brooklyn
2.3 ppg, 1.7 apg
|
|
Has been plagued by injuries the last two seasons. Would love to return to the Nets. |
|
 |
127. James Young
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Team: Boston
2.3 ppg, 0.9 rpg
|
|
Athleticism is off the charts, we know that. Anything else? |
|
 |
128. Jeff Withey
Unrestricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Utah
2.9 ppg, 2.4 rpg
|
|
Big man in the middle. Opponents improved their offensive rating 6.3 points with him on the floor, though. |
|
 |
129. Toney Douglas
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Team: Memphis
4.9 ppg, 2.5 rpg
|
|
Has been in and out of the league for a couple of years. He was waived four times the last year alone, which is kind of cruel. |
|
 |
130. Reggie Bullock
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-7 / Team: Detroit
4.5 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|
|
May have a place in the league as a three-point sniper. |
|
 |
131. Alan Anderson
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-6 / Team: LA Clippers
2.9 ppg, 0.8 rpg
|
|
Didn’t distinguish himself as a bit player for the Clippers this season. |
|
 |
132. Anderson Varejao
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Golden State
1.3 ppg, 1.9 rpg
|
|
The wheels are falling off for the veteran Brazilian big man. |
|
 |
133. Udonis Haslem
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Team: Miami
1.8 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|
|
Barely plays anymore, but the Heat might want to keep him around to mentor the team’s young guys. |
|
 |
134. DeAndre Liggins
Team Option / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: Dallas
2.5 ppg, 1.7 rpg
|
|
Tenacious defensive player with little to offer on the offensive end. |
|
|
135. Edwin Jackson
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-3 / Team: Movistar Estudiantes (Spain)
22.2 ppg, 3.5 rpg
|
|
|
By far the best scorer in the Spanish League this season… and he’s doing it with good percentages. Has made clear he wants a shot in the NBA. |
|
 |
136. Brian Roberts
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Team: Charlotte
3.5 ppg, 1.3 apg
|
|
Has been mostly a third-string point guard in his years in the NBA. Could be hard for him to land a guaranteed deal. |
|
 |
137. Larry Sanders
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Cleveland
0.8 ppg, 0.8 rpg
|
|
The Cavs gave him a chance, but was reportedly not in game shape yet after two years away from basketball. |
|
 |
138. Nick Collison
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: Oklahoma City
1.7 ppg, 1.5 rpg
|
|
Played only 128 minutes with the Thunder in 2016-17. If they keep him around, it’s certainly not because of his on-court contributions. |
|
 |
139. Christian Wood
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-11 / Team: Charlotte
2.7 ppg, 2.2 rpg
|
|
Hornets declined their contract option on him. He will have to take his impressive dunks elsewhere. |
|
 |
140. Damjan Rudez
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Orlando
1.8 ppg, 0.6 rpg
|
|
Three-point shooting is his strength. Made only 31.3 percent of his attempts with Orlando. |
|
 |
141. Joel Anthony
Unrestricted / Center / 6-9 / Team: San Antonio
1.3 ppg, 1.6 rpg
|
|
A bit player in San Antonio. May enter free agency as a three-time NBA champion. |
|
 |
142. Ron Baker
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Team: New York
4.1 ppg, 2.1 apg
|
|
Played a lot of minutes when the Knicks gave up on the season. Has a lot to prove yet. |
|
 |
143. Dahntay Jones
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Team: Cleveland
9.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg
|
|
Has more postseason games than regular season games the last two years. Won a ring in the process. |
|
 |
144. Alex Poythress
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Philadelphia
10.7 ppg, 4.8 rpg
|
|
Put up nice numbers as a late-season pickup for the Sixers. |
|
 |
145. Ronnie Price
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Team: Phoenix
1.0 ppg, 1.3 apg
|
|
We may have seen the last of him in the NBA. But we thought that last season too. |
|
 |
146. James Jones
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Cleveland
2.8 ppg, 0.8 rpg
|
|
The three-point sniper and locker room leader has played with LeBron every year the last decade. |
|
|
147. Steve Novak
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: Milwaukee
0.6 ppg, 0.4 rpg

Great shooter will very little playing time lately. Injuries have not helped. |
|
|
148. Bobby Brown
Restricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Team: Houston
2.5 ppg, 0.2 rpg
|

Has been a star player overseas. Very little burn in the NBA. |

2.3 ppg, 0.8 rpg
|
|
Has stated he wants to play three more years. He may have to look at options overseas. |
