SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS
POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS
Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports
A very safe floor general with an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio. But that lack of risk-taking makes him not all that impactful at times. Can do some scoring off the dribble but won’t make a ton of flash plays.
2023/24 stats: 12.0 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 7.3 apg, 48.9 FG%, 41.4 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $14,000,000
Career earnings: $48,846,623
Agent: Kevin Bradbury
Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports
Had an extremely inefficient season as a scorer. Will he be able to turn that around next season? He was never super efficient to begin with. Great size for a guard who can shoot over smaller opponents.
2023/24 stats: 10.5 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 4.7 apg, 39.2 FG%, 4.7 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $20,357,143
Career earnings: $66,326,060
Agent: Jason Glushon
Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports
Becoming even more of a wild card the later in his career he gets. Seemingly even fans aren’t safe from his antics. On the floor, he can space the floor from three off the ball and provide pest-like defense on the other end.
2023/24 stats: 6.2 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 2.9 apg, 41.7 FG%, 33.7 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $3,196,448
Career earnings: $79,304,453
Agent: Kevin Bradbury
Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports
Solid midrange scorer who has a great first step and length, allowing him to finish around the basket. The problems arise when has to go to the foul stripe or shoot it from beyond the arc.
2023/24 stats: 7.8 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 2.8 apg, 47.2 FG%, 22.2 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $17,000,000
Career earnings: $70,400,017
Agent: Raymond Brothers

Won’t ever live up to superstar potential as a prospect but has channeled his athleticism very well on defense, where he can be a real nuisance against 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
Career earnings: $21,111,09
Agent: John Noonan and Alex Saratsis
2023/24 stats: 5.0 ppg, 1.6 rpg, 2.1 apg, 35.2 FG%, 30.1 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $12,100,000
Career earnings: $38,719,177
Agent: Ty Sullivan and Austin Brown
Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports
Guard who can play on or off the ball and do some scoring or creating off the bench.
2023/24 stats: 6.5 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 2.7 apg, 36.9 FG%, 29.8 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $2,208,045
Career earnings: $1,333,382
Agent: Daniel Frank
Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports
Lefty guard with some quickness but still extremely raw despite his multiple seasons in the NBA. Poor feel for scoring and passing, inconsistent jumper.
2023/24 stats: 6.9 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 4.9 apg, 41.3 FG%, 29.7 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $7,413,955
Career earnings: $16,717,560
Agent: David Bauman and Yann Balikouzou
Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports
Explosive scorer with a 50-point game under his belt. Was that a total fluke or a sign that he’s got more to offer than he’s shown so far? Confident pull-up shooter and ball-handler with swagger to his game.
2023/24 stats: 5.5 ppg, 1.7 rpg, 1.9 apg, 41.8 FG%, 33.1 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $3,873,024
Career earnings: $6,144,360
Agent: Aaron Reilly
Veteran guard who could be headed overseas at this point. No longer hitting tough shots like he used to and has a lot of his quickness.
2023/24 stats: 4.0 ppg, 1.1 rpg, 1.1 apg, 35.1 FG%, 27.6 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $7,537,766
Career earnings: $74,382,853
Agent: Steve Heumann
Undersized guard with some electricity to his game but who has yet to put it all together in the NBA.
2023/24 stats: 4.2 ppg, 1.1 rpg, 3.3 apg, 40.0 FG%, 40.5 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $701,336
Career earnings: $5,849
Agent: Keith Glass and Tyler Glass
Despite getting older, he’s still quite quick and can get to the basket. Has played for a record number of teams in the NBA, nearly suiting up for half the league (13 teams) at this point. Could he make it 14 in 2024-25?
2023/24 stats: 3.2 ppg, 1.8 rpg, 3.4 apg, 41.8 FG%, 50.0 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $3,196,448
Career earnings: $45,247,075
Agent: Andrew Morrison
Veteran point guard who is like a second coach on the floor. Just don’t ask him to do some high level of scoring himself. Solid defender against other point guards.
2023/24 stats: 2.4 ppg, 1.2 rpg, 1.6 apg, 35.9 FG%, 31.0 3P%
2023/24 earnings: $3,196,448
Career earnings: $72,406,653
Agent: Rich Paul
