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.

1. Kevin Durant
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Golden State
25.1 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 4.9 apg

One of the most gifted offensive players in NBA history. Will be a Warrior for a lot of years. |
|
 |
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Last team: Utah
21.9 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 3.5 apg
|
|
The versatile forward becomes a free agent right in the middle of his prime years. Boston and Miami are expected to be in the mix for his services. |
|

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

Player Option / Power Forward / 6-8 / Last 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. |
|
 |
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-10 / Last 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. |
|
 |
6. Serge Ibaka
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Last 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. |
|
 |
7. Pau Gasol
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 7-0 / Last team: San Antonio
12.4 ppg, 7.8 rpg
|
|
Like most, he’s sacrificing stats in order to fit with what the Spurs do. |
|
 |
8. George Hill
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Utah
16.9 ppg, 4.1 apg, 3.4 rpg

|
 |
9. Otto Porter
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Last team: Washington
13.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg
|
|
His strong play was quite aw elcome event for the Wizards. Timing couldn’t be better for him money-wise. |
|
 |
10. Andre Iguodala
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-6 / Last team: Golden State
7.6 ppg, 4.0 rpg
|

|
 |
11. Nerlens Noel
Restricted / Center / 6-11 / Last team: Dallas
8.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg
|
|
Defense-oriented big man with a lot of upside and some red flags. |
|
 |
12. Dirk Nowitzki
Team Option / Power Forward / 7-0 / Last team: Dallas
14.2 ppg, 6.5 rpg
|
|
Father Time definitely started to beat Dirk Nowitzki this season. He’s not looking to retire, though. |
|
 |
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Last 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. |
|
 |
14. Mason Plumlee
Restricted / Center / 6-11 / Last team: Denver
10.4 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 3.5 apg
|

|
 |
15. Rudy Gay
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Last 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. |
|
 |
16. Derrick Rose
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. |
|
 |
17. Dion Waiters
Player Option / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Last team: Miami
15.8 ppg, 4.3 apg, 3.3 rpg

Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Last team: Chicago
7.8 ppg, 6.7 apg, 5.1 rpg

Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Last team: Atlanta
13.1 ppg, 5.9 rpg
|
|
Has been averaging 12ish points and 6ish rebounds for ages. A proven commodity. |
|
 |
20. PJ Tucker
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-6 / Last team: Toronto
6.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg
|
|
Underrated defender at the wing positions. A lot of teams could use him. |
|
 |
21. Tim Hardaway Jr
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Last team: Atlanta
14.5 ppg, 2.8 rpg
|
|
Put together his best season yet in a contract year. Bodes well for him in free agency. |
|
 |
22. Kyle Korver
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Last team: Cleveland
10.1 ppg, 2.8 rpg
|
|

|
 |
24. Dewayne Dedmon
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Last team: San Antonio
5.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg
|
|

|
 |
25. Andre Roberson
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Last team: Oklahoma City
6.6 ppg, 5.1 rpg
|
|
Terrific defender. Doesn’t bring much on the offensive end. Terrible three-point shooter. |
|
 |
26. Taj Gibson
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Last 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. |
|
 |
27. Nikola Mirotic
Restricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Last team: Chicago
10.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg
|
|
Left Europe as a superstar and had a strong rookie season. Has been a bit underwhelming ever since. |
|
 |
28. Kelly Olynyk
Restricted / Center / 7-0 / Last team: Boston
9.0 ppg, 4.8 rpg
|
|
Figures to be a productive reserve big men for a lot of years. |
|

30. James Johnson
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Miami
12.8 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 3.6 apg
|

|
 |
31. Jonathon Simmons
Restricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Last 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… |
|
 |
32. Bojan Bogdanovic
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Last team: Washington
13.7 ppg, 3.4 rpg
|
|
Can shoot the hell out of the ball. Three-point sniper will get paid. |
|
 |
33. Joe Ingles
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Last team: Utah
7.1 ppg, 3.2 rpg
|
|
Doesn’t put up great numbers, yet quietly helps his team a lot. Excellent role player. |
|
 |
34. Amir Johnson
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Last 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. |
|
 |
35. Shabazz Muhammad
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-6 / Last 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. |
|
 |
36. CJ Miles
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-6 / Last 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. |
|
 |
37. Tony Allen
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Last team: Memphis
9.1 ppg, 5.5 rpg
|
|
Thirteen years into his NBA career, he remains a very good perimeter defender. |
|
 |
38. Tyreke Evans
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Last team: Sacramento
10.3 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 3.1 apg
|
|

|
 |
39. Manu Ginobili
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Last team: San Antonio
7.5 ppg, 2.7 rpg
|
|
Has a little left in the tank. Will he return for another season? |
|
 |
40. JaVale McGee
Unrestricted / Center / 7-0 / Last team: Golden State
6.1 ppg, 3.2 rpg
|
|
Out of nowhere, he put together a great season as a bit player with the Warriors. Fits in really well there. |
|
 |
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Toronto
6.8 ppg, 4.5 rpg
|
|
High-quality role player. The Raptors are much better offensively with him on the court. |
|
 |
42. JaMychal Green
Restricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Last team: Memphis
8.9 ppg, 7.1 rpg
|
|
A workhorse for the Grizzlies. Prety good fit there. |
|
 |
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 0-0 / Last team: LA Clippers
6.1 ppg, 2.2 rpg
|
|
Super active perimeter defender who shot a career-high 39.1 percent from three for the Clippers this year. |
|
 |
44. Ty Lawson
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 5-11 / Last 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. |
|
 |
45. Deron Williams
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Cleveland
11.0 ppg, 5.6 apg
|
|
Backup point guard for another veteran contending team next season? |
|
 |
46. Thabo Sefolosha
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Last team: Atlanta
7.2 ppg, 4.4 rpg
|
|
The defensive ace lost his starting spot with the Hawks late in the season. |
|
 |
47. Darren Collison
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. |
|
 |
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-6 / Last 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. |
|
 |
49. David Lee
Player Option / Power Forward / 6-9 / Last team: San Antonio
7.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg
|
|
Has low-key been a very productive role player for Dallas and San Antonio the last year. Will probably opt out. |
|
 |
50. Jonas Jerebko

3.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg

Energetic forward off the bench for the Pistons first, Celtics now. |

51. Andrew Bogut
Unrestricted / Center / 7-0 / Last team: Cleveland
2.9 ppg, 8.1 rpg

|

|
 |
52. Milos Teodosic
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. |
|
 |
53. Brandon Jennings
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. |
|
 |
54. Vince Carter
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Last team: Memphis
8.0 ppg, 3.1 rpg
|
|
The most athletic 40-year-old man in basketball. Basically a three-point shooter at this point of his career. |
|
 |
55. Zaza Pachulia
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Last team: Golden State
6.1 ppg, 5.9 rpg
|

Adored by fans everywhere he’s played because of his effort. Despised by many opponents because of his physical approach to the game. |
|
 |
56. Jeff Green
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / Last 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. |
|
 |
57. Willie Reed
Unrestricted / Center / 6-9 / Last team: Miami
5.3 ppg, 4.7 rpg
|
|
Became a solid rotation player for a pretty decent team in Miami. Will not have to do the minimum contract thing again. |
|
 |
58. Alex Len
Restricted / Center / 7-1 / Last team: Phoenix
8.0 ppg, 6.6 rpg

Has shown progress, but not to the extent that most would have wanted. |

|
 |
60. Ramon Sessions
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Charlotte
6.2 ppg, 2.6 rpg
|
|
Missed the final part of the season due to injury. Didn’t distinguish himself with his play this year. The Hornets’ offensive rating dropped 6.2 points with him on the court. |
|
 |
61. Michael Beasley
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-10 / Last team: Milwaukee
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. |
|
 |
62. Nick Young
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-7 / Last team: LA Lakers
13.2 ppg, 2.3 rpg
|
|
The shoot-happy guard revived his career with more than decent play with the Lakers. |

 |
63. Jan Vesely
Small Forward / 7-0 / Last team: Fenerbahce (Turkey)
9.6 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 1.4 apg
|

|
 |
64. Omri Casspi
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Minnesota
11.8 ppg, 5.9 rpg
|
|
No active NBA player has played more regular season games without a playoffs appearance. |
|
 |
65. Roy Hibbert
Unrestricted / Center / 7-2 / Last 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. |
|
 |
66. Alan Williams
Restricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Last 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 / Last team: New Orleans
4.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg
|
|
Played only 34 games after signing a minimum deal in January. Not a dream season for him. |
|
 |
68. Ben McLemore
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Last 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 / Last 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. |
|
|
70. Arron Afflalo
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Last team: Sacramento
8.4 ppg, 2.0 rpg
|
|
|
Keeps making threes at a good clip, but the defense is not what it used to be. |
|
 |
71. Justin Holiday
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-6 / Last team: New York
7.7 ppg, 2.8 rpg
|
|
WIll probably be looking at his sixth NBA team. Has proved he belongs, though. |
|
 |
72. Sergio Rodriguez
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Philadelphia
7.8 ppg, 5.1 apg
|
|
Super flashy playmaker. His jumper did not fall at a good rate in his return to the NBA. |
|
 |
73. Rodney Stuckey
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Last team: Indiana
7.2 ppg, 2.2 rpg
|
|
Put in the work with Indiana, but didn’t have a good year there while dealing with injury problems. |
|
 |
74. Dante Cunningham
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Last 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. |
|
 |
75. Gerald Green
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Last team: Boston
5.6 ppg, 1.8 rpg
|
|
Can still jump out of the gym at age 31. Will be a bench player somewhere. |
|
 |
76. Anthony Tolliver
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Last team: Sacramento
7.1 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 1.2 apg
|
|
Hits threes and is a locker room leader. Will have no problem finding another team. |
|
 |
77. Jared Sullinger
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Last 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. |
|
 |
78. Matt Barnes
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-7 / Last team: Golden State
7.1 ppg, 5.2 rpg
|
|
Tough as they come. Mileage is showing. |
|
 |
79. Shelvin Mack
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. |
|
 |
80. Ian Clark
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Golden State
6.8 ppg, 1.6 rpg
|
|
The Blazers may offer him a contract if only to prevent him from killing them every time. |
|
 |
81. Tiago Splitter
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Last team: Atlanta
4.9 ppg, 2.8 rpg
|
|
Missed an entire year due to injury and came back shooting threes. |
|
 |
82. Thomas Robinson
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Last team: LA Lakers
5.0 ppg, 4.6 rpg
|
|
Looked like a legit reserve big man for the Lakers this season. |
|
 |
83. Jason Terry
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-2 / Last 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. |
|
 |
84. Aaron Brooks
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-0 / Last team: Indiana
5.0 ppg, 1.9 apg

|
 |
85. Brandon Bass
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Last team: LA Clippers
5.6 ppg, 2.5 rpg
|
|
Mid-range shots are still going in. Didn’t play much with the Clippers, but can’t complain about production when he did. |
|
 |
86. Derrick Williams
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-8 / Last 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. |
|
 |
87. Anthony Morrow
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Last team: Chicago
5.5 ppg, 0.6 rpg
|
|
Has made an NBA career out of three-point shooting. He made just 30.8 percent of his attempts this year. |
|
 |
88. Mike Muscala
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Last team: Atlanta
6.2 ppg, 3.4 rpg
|
|
Opens up the floor with very good three-point shooting. Not much of a rebounder or defender. |
|
 |
89. Gerald Henderson
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Last team: Philadelphia
9.2 ppg, 2.6 rpg
|
|
His days as a starter are probably behind him after that rough year with Philly. |
|
 |
90. Luke Babbitt
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Miami
4.8 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|
|
Hits three-pointers with good percentages. Other than that, doesn’t bring much to the table. |
|
 |
91. Mike Dunleavy
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Atlanta
5.2 ppg, 2.2 rpg
|
|
As long as the three-point shots keep falling, there will be a spot for him in the NBA. |
|
 |
92. Terrence Jones
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Milwaukee
10.8 ppg, 5.7 rpg
|
|
Both New Orleans and Milwaukee waived him this season. No bueno. |
|
 |
93. Troy Williams
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-7 / Last 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. |
|
 |
94. Raymond Felton
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. |
|
 |
95. Jodie Meeks
Unrestricted / Shooting Guard / 6-4 / Last 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. |

|
 |
97. Jose Calderon
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Atlanta
3.4 ppg, 2.1 rpg
|

|
 |
98. Kris Humphries
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Atlanta
4.6 ppg, 3.7 rpg

|
Has re-invented himself as a stretch big man, but with limited success. |

100. Joffrey Lauvergne
Restricted / Center / 6-11 / Last 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. |

101. Lavoy Allen
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Indiana
2.9 ppg, 3.6 rpg
|
|
Posted career lows across the board in 2016-17. |

102. Beno Udrih
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-3 / Last team: Detroit
5.8 ppg, 3.4 apg
|

Remains a solid if unspectacular backup point guard after all these years. |
|
 |
103. James Michael McAdoo
Restricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Last team: Golden State
2.8 ppg, 1.7 rpg

Got $4 million from Minnesota and played 47 minutes with the Wolves last season. |
|
 |
105. Festus Ezeli
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Last team: Portland
–

Has missed two entire seasons in five years due to injury. That will scare a lot of teams away. |
|
 |
106. Trey Burke
Restricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Last team: Washington
5.0 ppg, 1.8 apg

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

124. Brian Roberts
Unrestricted / Point Guard / 6-1 / Last team: Charlotte

|
 |
128. Maurice Ndour
Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Last team: New York
3.1 ppg, 2.0 rpb

|
Bit player for the Knicks in the NBA and for Real Madrid in the Euroleague. |

2.7 ppg, 2.2 rpg

|
 |
130. Damjan Rudez
