Zach LaVine / Chicago

David Banks-USA TODAY Sports
Explosive 2-guard who can score from all three levels and has elite athleticism. Injuries remain a concern. Made the playoffs for the first time this season while proving he’s not an empty-stats guy.

James Harden / Philadelphia (Player Option)

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports
Has he lost a step athletically or are injuries to blame for his slight decline? That question will have to be answered by the Sixers and prospective suitors. Even a step slower, however, he remains a top-level scorer and playmaker.

Bradley Beal / Washington (Player Option)

Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports
Injuries affected his play this season but when healthy, he’s an elite scorer who can hit shots off the dribble from deep or from nearer to the basket. An underrated passer as well.

Anfernee Simons / Portland (Restricted)

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

Collin Sexton / Cleveland (Restricted)

Nick Turchiaro-USA TODAY Sports
Coming off of a major injury, which could hurt his free-agent value. When healthy, a confident bucket getter with outstanding numbers from beyond the arc.
