Markelle Fultz, still available as NBA free agent.

Summer is coming to an end, but free agency remains open with the NBA market practically at a standstill. However, some teams like Los Angeles Lakers or Golden State Warriors are in great need of making some moves. There are few free agents left, and beyond Markelle Fultz, who performed at a high level last year, there are no players who are one hundred percent reliable, although they are capable of helping struggling franchises.

1. Markelle Fultz (PG / Orlando)

Fultz is an athletic point guard with a great ability to score from mid-range and finish near the rim, thanks to his length and explosive first step. However, his issues with free throws and perimeter shooting limit his impact.

  • 2023/24 Stats: 7.8 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 2.8 apg, 47.2 FG%, 22.2 3P%
  • 2023/24 Earnings: $17,000,000

2. Dennis Smith (PG / Brooklyn)

Smith never reached his potential as a superstar, but he has redirected his athleticism towards defense, where he poses a real problem for opposing point guards.

  • 2023/24 Stats: 6.6 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 3.6 apg, 43.5 FG%, 29.4 3P%
  • 2023/24 Earnings: $2,528,233

3. Doug McDermott (SF / Indiana)

McDermott remains one of the best three-point shooters in the league when healthy. Unfortunately, injuries have been a recurring issue in his career.

  • 2023/24 Stats: 5.5 ppg, 0.9 rpg, 1.1 apg, 43.3 FG%, 41.0 3P%
  • 2023/24 Earnings: $13,750,000

4. Jae Crowder (PF / Milwaukee)

Crowder is a seasoned veteran who can stretch the floor from beyond the three-point line and provide solid defense, although age is starting to show in his performance.

  • 2023/24 Stats: 6.2 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 1.3 apg, 42.2 FG%, 34.9 3P%
  • 2023/24 Earnings: $3,196,448

5. Danuel House (SF)

House is a forward who can space the floor and score with cuts to the basket, making him a reliable option off the bench.

  • 2023/24 Stats: 4.2 ppg, 1.7 rpg, 0.8 apg, 44.8 FG%, 30.0 3P%
  • 2023/24 Earnings: $4,310,250

6. Robert Covington (SF / Philadelphia)

Covington is a 3-and-D forward whose performance has been hampered by injuries and physical wear and tear over the years.

  • 2023/24 Stats: 4.4 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 0.8 apg, 43.9 FG%, 33.9 3P%
  • 2023/24 Earnings: $11,692,308

7. Bismack Biyombo (C / Oklahoma City)

Biyombo is a shot-blocking specialist who doesn't offer much more on both ends of the court, but his ability to protect the rim keeps him as a viable option for teams in need of interior defense.

  • 2023/24 Stats: 4.4 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 1.3 apg, 56.5 FG%, 48.1 FT%
  • 2023/24 Earnings: $5,000,000

8. Danilo Gallinari (PF / Milwaukee)

Gallinari is a veteran who, although no longer at his peak, is still capable of scoring from the perimeter and creating offensive plays from face-up positions.

  • 2023/24 Stats: 5.7 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 1.1 apg, 43.7 FG%, 32.3 3P%
  • 2023/24 Earnings: $6,802,950

9. Justin Holiday (SG / Denver)

Holiday is a shooting guard specializing in long-distance shooting who can also provide solid defense in bench situations.

  • 2023/24 Stats: 4.0 ppg, 1.2 rpg, 1.2 apg, 45.4 FG%, 40.4 3P%
  • 2023/24 Earnings: $3,196,448

10. Troy Brown (SF / Detroit)

Brown is a young forward with defensive potential and the ability to play multiple positions on the court. His offensive performance has been inconsistent, but he remains an intriguing option off the bench.

  • 2023/24 Stats: 4.2 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 1.0 apg, 37.2 FG%, 33.3 3P%
  • 2023/24 Earnings: $4,000,000
