LaMelo Ball

Age: 24
Team: Atlanta Hawks

Without doubt, LaMelo is the gem of this year's UFA point guard class. After his tumultuous times in Orlando, including rejecting to sign a max contract, he hopefully is ready to commit to an offer from Atlanta. For the Hawks it is for sure prio #1 to resign him.

Ja Morant

Age: 27
Team: Oklahoma City Thunder

While Dennis Smith (#3 in this list) may be more valuable as Ja right now, his still relative young age and undeniable talent made me put Ja at #2 for PG. He was shipped around quite often and seemed never to find his role, but I'm sure there will be a new team taking a chance on him.

Dennis Smith

Age: 31
Team: Miami Heat

Smith role in Miami declined over the past seasons in Miami, but he still should have enough left to be a starter next season. A multi-year contract will be a bit more tricky though.

Sylvain Francisco

Age: 22
Team: Minnesota Timberwolves

Sylvain may not be ready for big minutes yet, but he still is a very interesting talent, just 22 years old. Not many players with that outlook hit unrestricted FA. He is struggling a bit, most notable with his shot and it is not clear if that is going to improve a lot over the years. Still some young teams may take a flier but is has to overcome the home team advantage, I'm sure the Wolves want to keep him.

Coby White

Age: 27
Team: Atlanta Hawks

Coby saw his role shrinking over the past two seasons, the Hawks team is just really deep. But he still is a capable floor general who knows also to play defense. His lack in scoring is keeping him from a clear starter role so far, still a valuable player to have.

Cam Johnson

Age: 30
Team: Miami Heat

Cam leads this year's SG class and should get plenty of interest around the league. Nothing for a rebuilding team but could be a key piece for a contender or almost contender. If Silo is getting active again before FA, there also should be interesting scenarios for a S&T.

Hamidou Diallo

Age: 28
Team: Toronto Raptors

Torontos top scorer takes #2 on my list. An effective scorer and good defender, he only has one weakness, his outside shot. He should be in a lot of S&T talks this offseason, since Toronto will more than likely start their rebuild.

Tony Carr

Age: 30
Team: Miami Heat

Another Heat player in FA, that is an important offseason for this team and will decide what direction the team goes. As a shooting specialist with strong defense, Carr will find plenty of interest. He too, is on the wrong side of 30 but still an important piece of Miami's ongoing success.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker

Age: 28

NAW is another player who fell out of favor with most GM's. I do think he played a good role in Toronto before he was traded and would not mind to have a score first guard like him coming off the bench.

Vrenz Bleijenbergh

Age: 24

The prototype of a role player, Vrenz is hitting UFA already at age 24. You can't expect him to fill a scorer roll, but he does all the small things.

Luka Doncic

Age: 27
Team: New York Knicks

For everybody wondering where the heck Luka is ... listed as small forward now, I list him here. Not much to say about him, an offense by himself and one of the true stars of the game and only 27. Can someone offer him a better situation than New York?

Jordan Nwora

Quite a drop from #1 to #2. This year's SF class is just not that good, except for Doncic. But Nwora is stringing together a nice season for the Mavs, that should give him plenty of looks from other teams.

Anthony Gill

Age: 26
Team: Chicago Bulls

Anthony enters the market as a decent 3&D guy looking for a bigger contract than his former 2nd round status. So far he is just showing glimpses of what he maybe can do, but his age is still interesting enough to take a chance on him.

Kevin Huerter

Age: 28
Team: Charlotte Hornets

Huerter was a guy I was hoping to sign last year, but Dylan has a tendency to snag away players I would be interested in :-) ... Kevin is still a good shooter and good piece coming off the bench, he should have no problem to find a new team, but can he secure a bigger contract as well?

Aleksandar Vezenkov

Age: 33
Team: Brooklyn Nets

A year older and now at #5 instead of #3 on this list, Vezenkov did lose a step and his age is slowly showing. Still an excellent shooter, he should be able to help a contending roster for one more season, after that it will be rough I guess.

Zion Williamson

Age: 27
Team: Dallas Mavericks

A class including Doncic, is a class including Zion. What a draft that was. Zion is still doing Zion things and carries the GM-less Mavs pretty much by himself. Is he looking for some better run organization?

Paul Reed

Another hard drop from Zion down to #2, not many good PF's hitting the market. Reed is an interesting prospect though. Still young enough to maybe step into a bigger role on some team.

Justise Winslow

Who would have thought that Winslow can make this list once more. But seeing the other options, I would rather take a look at him instead. He is still playing heavy minutes in Indiana and is a pest on defense. Wonder if he can translate to a supporting role with low minutes.

Bol Bol

Close competition for #1 between Bol and KAT. I went with Bol considering the age, if someone can sign him for a multiyear contract, he will be good for years to come. But be aware that the Timberwolves will do everything to make sure he stays north.

Karl-Anthony Towns

Age: 32
Team: Indianan Pacers

KAT is having a hell of a season over in Indiana. He plays a lot, but he delivers. Unfortunately, it was not enough for the playoffs. The big question will be: how much has he left, will some team give him a short big contract hoping to flip him?

A defensive center is always in high regards and Bamba should have at least 1-2 more productive seasons left. His shooting efficiency and TO rate are a bit shaky, but his D should easily make up for that.

Mfiondu Kabengele

Age: 25
Team: Indiana Pacers

Another Pacers short term rental who used his chance quite well. Solid play from Kabengele, especially rebounding the ball. He should not have a problem finding a new and hopefully multi-year contract.
