NBA 2024 NBA free agent rankings: Top shooting guards available
POINT GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS
POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS
Tyrese Maxey / Philadelphia
Without a doubt one of the most promising young guards in the league, with All-Star potential thanks to his elite quickness and the deep range he possesses on his jumper. Could stand to get tougher on defense but is still quite young so it’s hard not to get excited about his potential.
2022/23 stats: 20.3 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 3.5 apg, 48.1 FG%, 43.4 3P%

Career earnings: $7,808,640
Extension eligibility: Through the day before the start of the regular season
Agent: Rich Paul
Klay Thompson / Golden State
Has recovered well from the multiple major injuries, looking more like Klay of old last season. One of the best three-point shooters ever and still a capable defender.
2022/23 stats: 21.9 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 2.4 apg, 43.6 FG%, 41.2 3P%

Extension eligibility: Through June 30, 2024
Agent: Greg Lawrence
Immanuel Quickley / New York
Nearly won Sixth Man of the Year last year. Provides good quickness and scoring off the bench but would also be a decent starter at this point.

2023/24 earnings: $4,171,548

Agent: Raymond Brothers and Sam Permut
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope / Denver / Player Option
Another three-point shooting expert but one who has played a role in two championship runs in his career, one with Los Angeles and one with Denver. Good defender against guards.
2022/23 stats: 10.8 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 2.4 apg, 46.2 FG%, 42.3 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $14,704,938
Career earnings: $88,997,400
Agent: Rich Paul
Bruce Brown / Indiana / Team Option
Just had a great playoff stretch that helped the Nuggets win the championship and was rewarded handsomely in free agency. Slashing type of guard who can hit threes and attack the basket. Great rebounder for a guard.
2022/23 stats: 11.5 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 3.4 apg, 48.3 FG%, 35.8 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $22,000,000
Career earnings: $15,134,279
Agent: Ty Sullivan and Steve Heumann
Gary Trent Jr / Toronto
Three-point specialist who doesn’t need to have his feet set to knock down threes. Able to hit shots off the dribble.
2022/23 stats: 17.4 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 1.6 apg, 43.3 FG%, 36.9 3P%

Extension eligibility: Through June30, 2024
Agent: Rich Paul and Lucas Newton
Malik Monk / Sacramento
Explosive scorer who can get very hot at a moment’s notice, hitting shots from deep beyond the three-point line, over good contests and off the dribble. Can also get cold quickly but he’s much more consistent now than he used to be.
2022/23 stats: 13.5 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 3.9 apg, 44.8 FG%, 35.9 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $9,945,830
Career earnings: $26,987,522

2023/24 earnings: $3,196,448
Career earnings: $178,199,742
Agent: Steve Heumann and Aaron Mintz
Luke Kennard / Memphis / Player Option
One of the best three-point shooters in the league, having led the NBA in outside shooter twice in his career. Also has some juice as an off-the-dribble scorer and passer but not much in the way of a defender.
2022/23 stats: 9.3 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 1.5 apg, 49.2 FG%, 49.4 3P%

Lonnie Walker IV / Brooklyn
Single-handedly won the Lakers a huge playoff game last year and was rewarded by not getting re-signed. Regardless, he is athletic, can hit open shots and sometimes score from the midrange off the dribble.

Talen Horton-Tucker / Utah
Coming off his best season, flashing his scoring and playmaking. Still quite young, too, so there’s a chance he reaches his potential over the coming years.
