Tyrese Maxey / SG / Philadelphia
Quickly developed into one of the best lead guards in the East. An extremely quick scoring threat from all three levels, including having the ability to hit pull-up threes at the stop of a dime. Huge future ahead if he continues on this trajectory.

Paul George / SF / LA Clippers / Player Option
Despite getting a bit older and his injury history, he remains one of the best two-way wings in the league. A perimeter scorer who can hit very tough star-level shots, including off the dribble and over tight defenses. Impactful defender, too.
2023/24 stats: 22.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 3.6 apg, 45.8 FG%, 39.3 3P%

Winning the battle against Father Time handily, as the potential GOAT and all-time leading scorer remains one of the best players in the league. An elite scorer, rebounder and playmaker, and can still get stops on defense when he tries.
2023/24 stats: 24.8 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 7.8 apg, 52.0 FG%, 39.5 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $47,607,350

Agent: Rich Paul
Pascal Siakam / PF / Indiana
A whirlwind of energy who is relentless attacking the basket but can also hit jumpers reliably. An outstanding slasher who provides some defensive versatility and is a terror in transition. Few bigs can grab a rebound and go like him.
2023/24 stats: 22.0 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 4.9 apg, 53.5 FG%, 34.0 3P%

Agent: Todd Ramasar and Jaafar Choufani
OG Anunoby / SF / New York / Player Option
An efficient two-way wing who knows his limitations – mostly as a ball-handler – and doesn’t try to do too much. A great third or fourth option on a high-level team. Very good slasher and spot-up shooter who is a very tough defender on the wing.
2023/24 stats: 15.3 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.3 apg, 49.8 FG%, 37.9 3P%

Agent: Michael Silverman, Brandon Grier, Troy Payne
DeMar DeRozan / SF / Chicago
Still dropping tough buckets all over the midrange area arguably as well as any midrange scorer in the league. Game should age well as he no longer relies so much on his athleticism but more on footwork and shot-making.
2023/24 stats: 22.7 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 5.2 apg, 47.2 FG%, 33.3 3P%

Extension eligibility: Through June 30, 2024
Agent: Torrel Harris
Jrue Holiday / PG / Boston / Player Option
One of the best guard defenders in the NBA who can do some scoring as a spot-up shooter and slasher as well. Basically a tough two-way wing in a point guard’s body. Great length for his position, which helps him with his defense.

Agent: Rich Beda, Austin Brown, Aaron Mintz, Steve Heumann
Immanuel Quickley / SG / Toronto
Turning into a more well-rounded lead guard with improved playmaking numbers. Very quick guard who can stop at a moment’s notice and knock down off-the-dribble threes or get to the basket and finish.
2023/24 stats: 15.5 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 3.8 apg, 43.0 FG%, 40.0 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $4,171,548
Career earnings: $6,632,400
Agent: Raymond Brothers and Sam Permut
D'Angelo Russell / PG / LA Lakers / Player Option
Confident lead guard who is more of a scorer than playmaker, but who also has the vision to be a very good passer on some nights. Very good off-the-dribble shooter from three and the midrange.
2023/24 stats: 17.5 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 6.3 apg, 46.5 FG%, 41.7 3P%

Agent: Jeff Schwartz and Marcus Monk
Bruce Brown / SG / Toronto / Team Option
The type of no-nonsense swingman with versatility that just about every contender will covet. Good scorer as a slasher but inconsistent as an outside shooter. Can legitimately play all five positions in a pinch.
2023/24 stats: 11.3 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 2.8 apg, 47.2 FG%, 32.0 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $22,000,000
Career earnings: $15,134,279
Agent: Ty Sullivan and Steve Heumann
Klay Thompson / SG / Golden State
Unclear what type of player he will age into. Will his ego get in the way of him becoming a potentially great bench player? Has lost a lot of athleticism due to the injuries and isn’t as accurate from three as he once was to justify some of his more difficult shot attempts. Can still get hot on certain nights and put up huge numbers.
2023/24 stats: 17.3 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 2.2 apg, 42.1 FG%, 37.3 3P%

Extension eligibility: Through June 30, 2024
Agent: Greg Lawrence
Jonas Valanciunas / C / New Orleans
Throwback big man who isn’t producing like he was in his prime but can still get you some buckets out of the low block. Great screen-setter and a big threat on the offensive glass. Will get exposed on switches so no longer a 30-minute-per-night player.
2023/24 stats: 13.7 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 2.3 apg, 57.3 FG%, 34.1 3P%

Extension eligibility: Through June 30, 2024
Agent: Aaron Mintz, Steve Heumann, Mitch Nathan
Buddy Hield / SF / Philadelphia
A true bucket-getter, especially from beyond the arc. Won’t give you much in the way of defense but is more than accurate enough from three and midrange to make up for that.

Agent: Rich Paul
Russell Westbrook / PG / LA Clippers (Player Option)
Has re-invented himself as a very impactful help defender and monster on the offensive glass, especially for a point guard. Shot selection has improved in that he’s not pulling with as much aplomb. Still a good playmaker.
