It’s way too early, but I’m a sucker for NBA free agency and love finding value in the lesser-known players across the league. So, below is my first top 50 free agency ranking. This will change as I dive deeper into each player as we get closer to the end of the season, but the list is a good snapshot of players I value based on what I would EXPECT them to make this summer.
Let me know what you think!
