2024 NBA free agent rankings: Top point guards available
SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS
POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS
James Harden / Philadelphia
Although he’s lost a step athletically, he’s still an elite playmaker and a very good scorer who is now more open to shooting midrange jumpers. After three trade requests in about as many years, though, will teams trust him to not want out after a year or two?
2022/23 stats: 21.0 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 10.7 apg, 44.1 FG%, 38.5 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $35,640,000
Career earnings: $305,039,833
Agent: Michael Silverman, Brandon Grier, Troy Payne
Jrue Holiday / Milwaukee / Player Option
Still a top point guard defender who can even guard some wings. Quick hands and feet, and tough on defense. Can get you some buckets one-on-one and hit threes on the other end, too.
2022/23 stats: 19.3 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 7.4 apg, 47.9 FG%, 38.4 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $36,861,707
Career earnings: $222,534,244
Extension eligibility: Through June 30, 2024
Agent: Jason Glushon
Mike Conley / Minnesota
Veteran point guard who can hit open threes and finish around the bucket thanks to a unique off-hand floater. Not as quick as he once was, which has hurt his impact.
2022/23 stats: 11.9 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 6.7 apg, 42.8 FG%, 38.5 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $24,360,000
Career earnings: $252,221,596
Extension eligibility: Through June 30, 2024
Agent: Mike Conley, Steve Heumann, Jessica Holtz
Tyus Jones / Washington
Heady point guard with one of the better assist-to-turnover ratios in the league. Doesn’t take many risks but can run an offense well, hit pull-up jumpers and create.
2022/23 stats: 10.3 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 5.2 apg, 43.8 FG%, 37.1 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $14,000,000
Career earnings: $48,846,623
Agent: Kevin Bradbury
Russell Westbrook / LA Clippers (Player Option)
After a rough stint with the Lakers, looked much more comfortable as a member of the Clippers, where he’s now slated to spend another season. Can still score off of drives and hit midrange jumpers, though the shot selection remains questionable.
2022/23 stats: 15.9 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 7.5 apg, 43.6 FG%, 31.1 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $3,835,738
Career earnings: $338,836,512
Agent: Jeff Schwartz
Markelle Fultz / Orlando
He may not be living up to the former No. 1 pick billing but he’s developed into a starting-level point guard with good defense, rim-attacking and short midrange scoring skills.
2022/23 stats: 14.0 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 5.7 apg, 51.4 FG%, 31.0 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $17,000,000
Career earnings: $70,400,017
Extension eligibility: Through June 30, 2024
Agent: Raymond Brothers
Spencer Dinwiddie / Brooklyn
Midrange expert guard who can create some but is usually looking to score more than pass. Can get hot with his off-the-dribble scoring but tends to not be that efficient.
2022/23 stats: 17.3 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 6.5 apg, 43.8 FG%, 36.9 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $20,357,143
Career earnings: $66,326,060
Extension eligibility: Through June 30, 2024
Agent: Jason Glushon
Monte Morris / Detroit
One of the more reliable backup point guards in the league who can even step up for a spot start here or there. Solid outside shooter and playmaker who rarely turns the ball over.
2022/23 stats: 10.3 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 5.3 apg, 48.0 FG%, 38.2 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $9,800,926
Career earnings: $22,312,645
Extension eligibility: Through June 30, 2024
Agent: Ronald Shade and Alex Saratsis
Kyle Lowry / Miami
Getting up there in age but still able to perform well enough in a backup role, creating offense off the bench both thanks to his shooting and passing.
2022/23 stats: 11.2 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 5.1 apg, 40.4 FG%, 34.5 3P%
