NBA Free Agency 2017: Point Guards

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

Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-0 / Last team: Toronto
22.4 ppg, 7.0 apg, 4.8 rpg

The Raptors playmaker had another great regular season, but disappointed again in the playoffs.

Agent: Andy Miller
2016/17 Earnings: $12,000,000
Career Earnings: $64,757,917
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Utah
16.9 ppg, 4.1 apg, 3.4 rpg

The always reliable Hill had his best year on the offensive end. Missed a lot of games, though.

Career Earnings: $45,331,400
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last 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.

Agent: BJ Armstrong

Career Earnings: $116,861,524
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Last team: Chicago
7.8 ppg, 6.7 apg, 5.1 rpg

Had an up-and-down year with the Bulls. Playoff performance should help his stock.

Career Earnings: $70,282,884
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 5-11 / Last team: Sacramento
9.9 ppg, 4.9 apg

Career Earnings: $43,551,243
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Cleveland
11.0 ppg, 5.6 apg

Backup point guard for another veteran contending team next season?

Career Earnings: $135,749,509
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-0 / Last 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.

Agent: Rade Filipovich

Career Earnings: $23,343,141
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-6 / Last team: Chicago
6.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg

Career Earnings: $10,083,526
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-5 / Last team: CSKA Moscow (Russia)
16.3 ppg, 7.2 apg

May be the best player left in Europe. High basketball IQ and superb vision of the court. Not much in terms of athleticism or defensive effort.

Agent: Nick Lotsos
2016/17 Earnings: $0
Career Earnings: $0
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Last team: Washington
7.1 ppg, 4.9 apg

A lot of flash at the point guard position. Efficiency still a problem.

Career Earnings: $39,172,853
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Charlotte

2016/17 Earnings: $6,000,000
Career Earnings: $33,290,105

Super flashy playmaker. His jumper did not fall at a good rate in his return to the NBA.

Agent: Leon Rose
2016/17 Earnings: $6,800,000
Career Earnings: $11,469,835
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Utah
7.8 ppg, 2.8 apg

Defense is his calling card. Not much of a talent on the offensive end.

Agent: Doug Neustadt
2016/17 Earnings: $2,433,334
Career Earnings: $8,814,820
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-0 / Last team: Indiana

Career Earnings: $18,672,851
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Last 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 to point god Chris Paul.

Agent: Jim Tanner
2016/17 Earnings: $1,551,659
Career Earnings: $50,305,743
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Atlanta

Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Detroit

Career Earnings: $44,142,820
Restricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Last 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.

Career Earnings: $11,032,157

Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Last team: Memphis
4.9 ppg, 2.5 rpg

Career Earnings: $9,479,460
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Last 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.

Agent: Andy Miller

Career Earnings: $7,900,377
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-2 / Last 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.
