Tyus Jones / PG / Washington

Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports

A very safe floor general with an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio. But that lack of risk-taking makes him not all that impactful at times. Can do some scoring off the dribble but won’t make a ton of flash plays.

Isaac Okoro / SF / Cleveland / Restricted

Mike Watters-USA TODAY Sports

Energy wing who can defend at a high level in a multitude of positions. Streaky scorer, though, but he can do some scoring off of cuts and is turning into a very dependable outside shooter.

Gordon Hayward / SF / Oklahoma City

Alonzo Adams-USA TODAY Sports

Veteran wing who can shoot, handle the ball and create for others, though not at the levels from his prime. Solid defender on the wing.

Precious Achiuwa / C / New York

Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports

Energy big man who is extremely mobile. Not much of a scorer but can finish around the paint. An absolute pest of a defender in a great way.

Lonnie Walker / SG / Brooklyn

Athletic guard with some pull-up scoring prowess. An inefficient scorer, though, due to an inconsistent jumper. Does play with a lot of energy.

Luke Kennard / SG / Memphis

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

One of the better shooters in the league and an underrated player off the dribble, both as a scorer and creator. Tries on defense but short arms and average athleticism hamper him there.

Talen Horton-Tucker / SG / Utah

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports

Won’t ever live up to superstar potential as a prospect but has channeled his athleticism very well on defense, where he can be a real nuisance against opposing point guards.

Davis Bertans / PF / Charlotte / Player Option

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports

Very good outside shooter from the 4-spot but won’t provide much on either end outside of spot-up shooting. Still, good enough at that to have a role in the NBA still.

Malachi Flynn / PG / Detroit

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports

Explosive scorer with a 50-point game under his belt. Was that a total fluke or a sign that he’s got more to offer than he’s shown so far? Confident pull-up shooter and ball-handler with swagger to his game.

Tristan Thompson / C / Cleveland

Experienced center who’s lost a step athletically but can still give a team strong screens and some rebounding toughness down low. Can finish around the rim.

28
Boban Marjanovic / C / Houston

Well-known center thanks to his size and likability, both on and off the court. But playing in the wrong era of the NBA, as he doesn’t provide switchability or floor-spacing. Can make some impact in limited minutes with finishing ability and paint protection.

Ish Smith / PG / Charlotte

Despite getting older, he’s still quite quick and can get to the basket. Has played for a record number of teams in the NBA, nearly suiting up for half the league (13 teams) at this point. Could he make it 14 in 2024-25?

If he could shoot, he probably wouldn’t be heading into free agency. Athletic point guard with a lot of strength as a driver. But lack of a jumper really hurts him in modern NBA. Very solid defender, too.

Udoka Azubuike / C / Phoenix

Big man of the old school ilk who is best with his back to the basket and as a rebounder. Not much of a shot-blocker.

Markieff Morris / PF / Dallas

Very experienced power forward who can do some spot-up three-point shooting but no longer has the quickness to be as much of a scorer as he was in his prime.

2023/24 stats: 2.5 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 0.6 apg, 33.8 FG%, 35.7 3P%

Joe Harris / SF / Detroit

Ankle problems cut his prime short. Was a very good three-point shooter with the quickness needed to get open at one point. But the drop in athleticism has really hurt him in that regard.

2023/24 stats: 2.4 ppg, 0.8 rpg, 0.6 apg, 35.9 FG%, 33.3 3P%
