Here’s a look at the top remaining available NBA free agents, each with their own potential to contribute in the right situation (age in parentheses):
- Bismack Biyombo (32) – The veteran center remains one of the league’s most reliable rim protectors. His rebounding and defensive presence give him value as a depth piece, especially for teams needing size and defense in the paint.
- Kevin Knox (25) – Knox has struggled to meet expectations since being drafted, but he still has the size and shooting ability that could make him a viable scoring option for teams looking for a stretch forward.
- Nassir Little (24) – An athletic wing with strong defensive potential, Little has yet to carve out a significant role but shows flashes of promise. His ability to guard multiple positions makes him a valuable role player, especially for teams emphasizing defense.
- Lamar Stevens (27) – Known for his gritty defense, Stevens is a versatile forward who can fill in on both ends of the floor. While he’s not a star, his toughness and ability to contribute in small doses could be beneficial to playoff teams in need of a reliable defender.
- James Bouknight (24) – Bouknight hasn’t lived up to the expectations of a lottery pick, but his scoring ability and athleticism are still intriguing. He needs to show more consistency, but his upside remains in a league that values scoring wings.
- Markelle Fultz (26) – The former No. 1 overall pick has fought through injuries but has shown flashes of his playmaking ability. Fultz can still be a strong guard in the right system, and his defensive upside remains enticing for teams seeking a boost in that department.
- Killian Hayes (23) – Hayes has yet to prove he can be a consistent NBA player, but his playmaking ability and defensive potential are still worth monitoring. He’s a young, high-upside guard who may just need a fresh start.
- Kira Lewis Jr. (22) – A fast, athletic guard with intriguing potential, Lewis hasn’t fully developed his game yet, but his speed and ball-handling could make him a valuable backup option or project for teams in need of backcourt depth.
- Dennis Smith Jr. (27) – After bouncing around a few teams, Smith’s defense, passing, and athleticism make him an intriguing option. His offensive consistency remains a concern, but he can still fill a backup point guard role.
- Malachi Flynn (26) – Flynn is a solid playmaker who has shown flashes of scoring ability, but he’s struggled to get consistent minutes. A team looking for a backup point guard could give him the opportunity to find a steady role.
- Juan Toscano-Anderson (31) – A hustle player who brings strong defense and leadership, Toscano-Anderson can be an impactful role player. His lack of scoring is limiting, but he’s a solid contributor on the defensive end and can help in certain matchups.
