Kristaps Porzingis / Washington (Player Option)
Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports
Just enjoyed his best season in years, in part thanks to his staying healthy but mostly because of his on-court contributions, where he was able to score a lot of face-up buckets, space the floor from deep three and protect the rim at a high level.

Draymond Green / Golden State (Player Option)

Getting up there in age but still one of the best defenders in the entire NBA. Can hit open shots, is an elite playmaker for his position and guard multiple poisitions on the other end.

Allan Henry-USA TODAY Sports
Scoring numbers are way up recently but it hasn’t translated to team success. Teams have to decide: Is he a good-stats-on-a-bad team player? Does provide versatile defense as he can guard multiple positions.

Kyle Kuzma / Washington (Player Option)
Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports
Coming off a career season but it was for a bad Wizards team. Is he another player who can only put up good stats on bad teams, providing empty numbers? Modern power forward in that he can shoot and dribble.

Cameron Johnson / Brooklyn (Restricted)
Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports

David Banks-USA TODAY Sports
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.

Grant Williams / Boston (Restricted)
Nell Redmond-USA TODAY Sports
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.

Rui Hachimura / LA Lakers (Restricted)
Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports
Athletic forward with good size who really shines on defense, where he provides versatility. Doesn’t provide much as a scorer but can make an impact as a role-playing slasher and spot-up shooter.

Trey Lyles / Sacramento

The numbers may not have been huge but he’s had a very solid season off the bench, showing some of the skills that made him so enticing as a prospect, primarily as a shooter and ball-handler out of the frontcourt.

Blake Griffin / Boston
Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports
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.
