The NBA's free agency still offers interesting names for teams looking to complete their rosters. Among experienced playoff veterans and young players trying to establish themselves, the list of free agents remains extensive. Some, like Malik Beasley, are currently teamless due to circumstances unrelated to their performance. Below, we review the top ten available free agents in the NBA market:

1. Ben Simmons
Simmons managed to return to play a full season, something that hadn't happened in years. Although his scoring average dropped (5.0 points per game), he contributed in other aspects with 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists, maintaining a 52% field goal percentage. His name still generates interest due to his physique, defense, and playmaking ability.

2. Precious Achiuwa
The Nigerian center briefly returned to Miami but didn't secure a spot in the starting roster. However, he showed energy and intensity during his time with the Knicks, where he averaged 6.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and a 50.2% field goal percentage. His versatility as a backup big makes him an attractive option to strengthen the bench.

3. Cameron Payne
A reliable point guard with good ball-handling skills, Payne offers speed, outside scoring ability, and experience. Last season, he averaged 6.9 points, 2.8 assists, and a 36.3% from beyond the arc. Ideal as a second-string point guard for teams seeking pace and dynamism off the bench.

4. Seth Curry
The younger Curry remains one of the most accurate shooters in the NBA. Despite leaving Golden State due to salary reasons, he posted an excellent 45.6% from three-point range, with averages of 6.5 points and 47.8% field goal percentage. He shouldn't take long to find a new destination, possibly even returning to the Warriors.

5. Dalano Banton
A tall guard (2.03 m), Banton has improved his outside shooting, increasing his value in the market. In the last season, he averaged 8.3 points, 2.4 assists, and a 32.4% from the perimeter. His blend of size, defense, and energy makes him an intriguing option as a backup point guard.

6. Cody Martin
A defensively-minded forward, he brings intensity and effort on both ends. In Phoenix, he posted 6.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game, although his 28.5% from three restricts his offensive impact. Ideal as a rotation player to bolster the second unit.

7. Monte Morris
Morris opted for a short contract with the Suns that didn't work out, but his solid and efficient playmaking profile remains valuable. He averaged 5.2 points, 1.6 assists, and a 36% from three. Bringing experience and composure to the floor, he could fit into a playoff-contending team.

8. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl
A versatile big who can space the floor with his outside shooting. With Dallas, he averaged 6.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and a 34.1% from three. While more suited as a third-string center, he can be a useful piece for teams in need of frontcourt depth.

9. Ricky Council IV
A young forward who excelled in transition and showed energy off the bench. In his second year with the Sixers, he posted 7.3 points and 2.9 rebounds, though his 25.8% from three remains an area for improvement. His youth and athleticism ensure new opportunities in the league.

10. Garrison Mathews
A reliable shooter who was cut from the Knicks roster before the season started. Nevertheless, his accuracy keeps him as a valid option to boost outside shooting. He averaged 7.5 points with a 39% from three. Expect calls in the coming weeks.

Malik Beasley*
Beasley should hold a prominent place on this list, but his current situation is uncertain. He is under investigation for alleged illegal gambling, which is why he hasn't signed with any team yet. From a sports perspective, he is coming off an excellent season with Detroit: 16.3 points per game, 43% field goal shooting, and a 41.6% from three, figures that establish him as one of the top outside shooting specialists in the NBA. Once he resolves his situation, he won't take long to find a team.
