Top 10 Point Guards In 2022 NBA Free Agency

10. John Wall  (Player Option)

John Wall

John Wall has only made 113 appearances in the last five seasons. He was out for the entire 2019-20 and 2021-22 seasons. It's also hard to believe he'll turn down his $47.4 million player option.

9. Dennis Schroeder

Dennis Schroeder

Dennis Schroeder's scoring efficiency has slipped below average in each of the previous two seasons, but he's still in the running for Sixth Man of the Year in 2019-20.

8. Delon Wright

Delon Wright

Due to his ability to play (and defend) several positions, make threes at an above-average percentage (37.9%), and keep the ball moving, he had a decent impact in just 18.9 minutes per game this season.

7. Russell Westbrook (Player Option)

Russell Westbrook

Like Wall, it seems doubtful that he'll decline his player option (worth $47.1 million in this case), but whoever pays him next will have to be very cautious about the roster it assembles around him (he needs to be surrounded by tonnes of shooting).

6. Ricky Rubio

Ricky Rubio

Ricky Rubio's season was cut short due to an ACL tear, but he was demonstrating his willingness to adjust to a bench role with the Cleveland Cavaliers. When Rubio was on the floor, Cleveland was plus-7.5 points per 100 possessions, and when he wasn't, they were plus-2.1.

5. Tyus Jones

Tyus Jones

Jones' net-rating swing was nearly the polar opposite of Morant's. Jones shot 39.0 percent from three-point range and averaged 14.6 points, 7.5 assists, 1.9 three-pointers, 1.5 steals, and 1.1 turnovers per 75 possessions.

4. Anfernee Simons (Restricted)

Simons averaged 23.4 points, 5.8 assists, and 4.4 three-pointers a game while shooting 42.3 percent from three-point range from January 3 to the end of the season.

3. Jalen Brunson
