NBA PLAYERS TOP RANKING LIST
As the third day of NBA free agency approaches, a large number of names have already been signed (and we have ratings for all of the significant ones).
The majority of the starter-quality players have left the market, but a handful stand out.
There are also lots of rotation players who might be acquired.
As of Sunday afternoon, the following were the best players still available.
POINT GUARDSÂ /Â SHOOTING GUARDSÂ /
SMALL FORWARDSÂ /Â POWER FORWARDSÂ /Â CENTERS
1
Christian Wood / PF / Dallas
Yet another player that teams have to decide if he’s an impactful piece on winning teams, or if he’s just out there looking for his own stats.
Can score from three and off the dribble, a solid skill set for a modern big man.
2022/23 stats:Â 16.6 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 1.8 apg, 51.5 FG%, 37.6 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $14,317,459
Career earnings:Â $31,054,897
Agent:Â Adam Pensack
PJ Washington / PF / Charlotte (Restricted)
Pick-and-pop type big man with some skill as a ball-handler. Floor-spacing forward and can provide some versatility on defense and he can guard wings in certain matchups, as well as big men.
2022/23 stats:Â 15.7 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 2.4 apg, 44.4 FG%, 34.8 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $5,808,435
Career earnings:Â $12,070,560
Agent: Kevin Bradbury and Paul Washington
Grant Williams / PF / Boston (Restricted)
Although he may not have ideal size for the position, he is more of a small-ball power forward who has become an elite spot-up shooter from three.
Defensively is where he shines, however, as he can guard multiple positions. In and out of the rotation at points in the playoffs but finished on a strong note.
In the end, he’s a versatile defender, makes winning plays and can hit three-pointers; he’ll get paid this offseason for that skill set, even if it’s not by Boston.
2022/23 stats:Â 8.1 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 1.7 apg, 45.4 FG%, 39.5 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $4,306,281
Career earnings:Â $7,496,400
Agent: Bill Duffy and Erik Kabe
Kelly Oubre / SF / Charlotte
Has been around the league for a good amount of time and remains what he is: an explosive athlete with inconsistent shooting ability and poor decision-making.
2022/23 stats:Â 20.3 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 1.1 apg, 43.1 FG%, 31.9 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $12,600,000
Career earnings:Â $51,228,550
Agent:Â Torrel Harris
Matisse Thybulle / SF / Portland (Restricted)
A defender first and foremost who can guard a lot of different positions while also racking up steals and blocks. Not much of a threat on offense.
2022/23 stats:Â 4.1 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 0.7 apg, 43.5 FG%, 36.5 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $4,379,526
Career earnings:Â $8,133,600
Agent:Â Aaron Goodwin
Ayo Dosunmu / PG / Chicago (Restricted)
Promising young point guard with two-way potential.
2022/23 stats:Â 8.6 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 2.6 apg, 49.3 FG%, 31.2 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $1,563,518
Career earnings:Â $925,258
Agent: Jeff Schwartz and Mike Lindeman
Mo Bamba / C
2022/23 stats:Â 6.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 0.9 bpg, 48.5 FG%, 38.7 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $10,300,000
Career earnings:Â $34,406,663
Agent:Â Mark Bartelstein
Big man with elite size and length who can hit threes and block shots. Somewhat lacking in the consistency department but still has some upside thanks to those traits.
Jaylen Nowell / SG / Minnesota
2-guard who can do some scoring but unreliable outside shooter to this point, hurting his impact in the modern game.
2022/23 stats:Â 10.8 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 2.0 apg, 44.8 FG%, 28.9 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $1,930,681
Career earnings:Â $4,700,602
Agent:Â Ryan Davis
Terrence Ross / SF / Phoenix
Athletic, bouncy 2-guard who can get hot quickly as a scorer, and has deep range on his jumper.
2022/23 stats:Â 8.3 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 1.5 apg, 43.0 FG%, 36.8 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $11,500,000
Career earnings:Â $81,089,837
Agent: Mitch Nathan and Aaron Mintz.
JaMychal Green / PF / Golden State
On the donwturn of his career but can still provide some spot-up shooting and face-up scoring as a big man in the right situation.
2022/23 stats:Â 6.4 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 0.9 apg, 54.0 FG%, 37.8 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $8,200,000
Career earnings:Â $38,836,962
Agent:Â Mike Hodges
Paul Reed / PF / Philadelphia
Energy big man who really attacks the offensive glass, can finish around the rim and set good screens.
2022/23 stats:Â 4.2 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 0.4 apg, 59.3 FG%, 16.7 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $1,782,621
Career earnings:Â $2,127,109
Agent:Â Ronald Shade
TJ Warren / SF / Phoenix
Not the player he was before the long injury layoff but probably still someone teams will gamble on for next season.
An expert in getting smooth buckets off the dribble from the midrange and can also hit threes at a decent clip.
2022/23 stats:Â 7.5 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 1.0 apg, 48.9 FG%, 32.8 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $2,628,597
Career earnings:Â $57,026,050
Agent: Ty Sullivan and Austin Brown
Hamidou Diallo / SG / Detroit
Very athletic guard who can give a team some shooting and defense.
2022/23 stats:Â 9.3 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.0 apg, 57.3 FG%, 23.8 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $5,200,000
Career earnings:Â $9,119,177
Agent: Joe Smith and Thaddeus Foucher
Dario Saric / PF / Oklahoma City
Looks healed up from his major knee injury. A versatile forward who can do a bit of scoring, playmaking, rebounding, and guard multiple positions.
2022/23 stats:Â 6.4 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 1.3 apg, 45.8 FG%, 39.1 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $9,240,000
Career earnings:Â $28,509,665

Anthony Lamb / SG / Golden State (Restricted)
Big man with ball-handling and shooting skills.
2022/23 stats:Â 6.7 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.5 apg, 47.1 FG%, 36.7 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $694,878
Career earnings:Â $351,425
Agent: Daniel Curtin, EJ Kusnyer, Jordan Cornish
Bismack Biyombo / C / Phoenix
Remains one of the better shot-blockers in the league, though his offensive game remains nearly non-existent.
Not the best hands down low and a very poor free-throw shooter, so opponents choose to foul him rather than let him dunk.
2022/23 stats:Â 4.3 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 0.9 apg, 57.8 FG%, 35.7 FT%
2022/23 earnings:Â $2,905,851
Career earnings:Â $88,942,306
Agent: BJ Armstrong and Jason Ranne
Will Barton / SF / Toronto
Not the athlete he once was, which has caused his impact and production to fall off. When he has it going, he’s a solid scorer who can get hot from three and score off the dribble with a high degree of difficulty.
2022/23 stats:Â 6.8 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 2.0 apg, 37.9 FG%, 36.7 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $15,059,712
Career earnings:Â $66,809,472
Agent: Rich Beda, Andrew Morrison, Austin Brown
Wenyen Gabriel / PF / LA Lakers
Floor-spacer who can split time between small forward and power forward and provide some defensive versatility.
2022/23 stats:Â 5.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 0.5 apg, 59.6 FG%, 27.8 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $1,878,720
Career earnings:Â $3,663,276
Agent:Â Gary Durrant
Montrezl Harrell / C / Philadelphia
Once a Sixth Man of the Year, his near-total lack of defensive resistance has made him an end-of-bench player at this point. Can still pull down some rebounds and score around the basket when called upon.
2022/23 stats:Â 5.6 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 0.6 apg, 59.8 FG%, 69.3 FT%
2022/23 earnings:Â $2,463,490
Career earnings:Â $34,495,282
Agent:Â Derrick Powell
Kendrick Nunn / SG / Washington
Left-handed guard with a quick first step, a solid crossover and a good nose for scoring off the dribble, primarily from the midrange.
2022/23 stats:Â 7.1 ppg, 1.6 rpg, 1.3 apg, 42.4 FG%, 35.4 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $5,250,000
Career earnings:Â $8,128,083
Agent:Â Lucas Newton
Terence Davis / SG / Sacramento
Scoring-minded guard who doesn’t provide much in the way of defense but can occasionally get hot with his off-the-dribble bucket-getting.
2022/23 stats:Â 6.7 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 1.0 apg, 42.3 FG%, 36.6 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $4,000,000
Career earnings:Â $6,416,291
Agent:Â Joel Bell
John Wall / PG
Started some games this season but didn’t overly impress with those minutes. Still very fast on the open floor and can get to the basket in the halfcourt, but nowhere near the athlete he was at his prime. Still lacks a consistent outside jumper.
2022/23 stats:Â 11.4 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 5.2 apg, 40.8 FG%, 30.3 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $47,345,760
Career earnings:Â $229,235,106
Agent:Â Rich Paul
Danny Green / SG / Cleveland
Now healthy from his major knee injury, this veteran guard is a 3-and-D type of player, who spots up for threes on one end and fights hard defensively on the other.
2022/23 stats:Â 5.5 ppg, 1.3 rpg, 0.5 apg, 44.9 FG%, 43.2 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $11,710,528

2022/23 earnings:Â $4,022,164
Career earnings:Â $21,646,189
Agent: Bill Duffy and Nima Namakian
Justise Winslow / SF / Portland
Tricky player because he has shown promise as a versatile forward who can create for others and really defend, but he’s way too inconsistent on offense due to his poor low-post finishing and bad shooting marks.
2022/23 stats:Â 6.8 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 3.4 apg, 40.9 FG%, 31.1 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $4,097,561
Career earnings:Â $41,131,565

Darius Bazley / PF / Phoenix

2022/23 earnings:Â $4,264,628
Career earnings:Â $7,197,000
Agent:Â Rich Paul
Power forward with some skill and athleticism who has yet to fully put it all together despite coming in with some hype as a prospect. Still has potential to reach, which can perhaps happen in the right situation.
Goran Dragic / PG / Milwaukee
Reportedly mulling retirement, he’s lost some of the athleticism that made him special in his prime, when he was an elite transition player and could finish at a high level near the rim, as well as shoot threes.
Can still provide a spark of offense from time to time.
2022/23 stats:Â 6.3 ppg, 1.4 rpg, 2.6 apg, 42.1 FG%, 35.9 3P%
2022/23 earnings:Â $3,523,762
Career earnings:Â $152,467,157
Agent: Rade Filipovich and Bill Duffy
Blake Griffin / PF / Boston
Seen more as a leader in the locker room than an every-night contributor at this point. No longer the elite athlete he was in his prime. Heady player who draws charges, can finish near the rim and create for others.
2022/23 stats:Â 4.1 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 1.5 apg, 48.5 FG%, 34.8 3P%

Career earnings:Â $22,847,859
Agent: Igor Crespo and Aylton Tesch
Slashing swingman with some size and athleticism but who has been way too lacking in the outside shooting department, which has hurt his impact in the NBA.

Career earnings:Â $138,844,561
Agent:Â Jim Tanner
RJ Hampton / SG
Elite quickness but poor feel for the game, something he has yet to improve much on. Has the prototypical size and athleticism to be an effective 2-guard but is still raw. He’s still just 22, however, so he deserves another NBA shot.
2022/23 stats:Â 6.4 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 1.1 apg, 43.0 FG%, 35.3 3P%
