After the disappointment of the 2021 NBA free agency class, with the way it fell apart due to certain players somewhat surprisingly signing extensions, the focus will now shift to the 2022 class, which has some elite names headlining it.
Of course, the problem is, a few of those names – like Luka Doncic and Trae Young – will almost certainly re-sign max extensions as restricted free agents. Others will opt out in 2021 and hit the market early. But there are other elite talents set to come available, like Kevin Durant, James Harden and Bradley Beal.
As you can see, however, the 2022 NBA free-agent class should be loaded and, barring a 2021-esque, extension-filled snoozefest, the drama should be high when some of those top-tier names start taking meetings with teams.
Below, check out how we rank the 2022 NBA free-agent class.
1
Luka Doncic / PG / Dallas (Restricted)
A dominant scorer and playmaker, and a great rebounder for his position, he also manages to come up clutch time and time again when needed. A player who can do it all thanks to craftiness and elite instincts with the ball in his hands.
2020/21 stats: 28.6 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 8.9 apg, 1.0 spg, 48.7 FG%, 37.6 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $8,049,360
Career earnings: $22,301,760
Agent: Bill Duffy
2
Kawhi Leonard / SF / LA Clippers
If not for load management, he’d be a perennial MVP candidate. Even so, he’s so smooth on offense that he has even made pull-up midrange jumpers cool again, and his defense remains among the stingiest in the NBA.
2020/21 stats: 25.9 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 4.9 apg, 0.5 bpg, 51.3 FG%, 38.7 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $34,379,100
Career earnings: $151,788,362
3
James Harden / PG / Brooklyn (Player Option)
Top-tier scorer and passer in the NBA, with a driving ability that’s extremely difficult to stop thanks to his strong right shoulder and propensity to draw fouls.
2020/21 stats: 25.9 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 11.1 apg, 1.3 spg, 46.3 FG%, 35.9 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $41,254,920
Career earnings: $227,728,993
Agent: Jason Ranne
4
Kevin Durant / SF / Brooklyn (Player Option)
One of the purest scorers the league has ever seen, able to drop in buckets from all three levels extremely efficiently, and he does it as a 7-footer. Still the same player he was pre-Achilles injury.
2020/21 stats: 29.0 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 5.3 apg, 1.4 bpg, 52.4 FG%, 43.4 3P%
2020/21 earnings: $39,058,950
Career earnings: $271,101,842
Agent: Rich Kleiman
5
Trae Young / PG / Atlanta (Restricted)
One of the best shooters in the league, capable of knocking down shots with his feet set or off the dribble, and from seriously deep ranges, as well. Also very underrated as a playmaker, though his defense needs work still.
2020/21 stats: 25.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 9.6 apg, 0.9 spg, 43.3 FG%, 36.3 3P%

Career earnings: $18,208,080
Agent: Omar Wilkes
6
Bradley Beal / PG / Washington (Player Option)
Has turned into one of the best 2-guards in the league over recent years. An explosive scorer who can throw down dunks in the halfcourt and hit jumpers from all over the place, even those with a high degree of difficulty.
2020/21 stats: 31.3 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 4.8 apg, 1.2 spg, 48.5 FG%, 33.8 3P%

Career earnings: $162,265,892

8
Stephen Curry / PG / Golden State
The greatest shooter in league history. His range is unparalleled and his quick release and tricky ball-handling make him nearly impossible to defend adequately. Very underrated passer, too.
2020/21 stats: 29.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 6.1 apg, 1.3 spg, 47.5 FG%, 41.0 3P%

Career earnings: $13,830,600
Agent: Austin Brown
14
Deandre Ayton / C / Phoenix (Restricted)
Athletic center with elite rebounding marks but who still has to figure out how to be more consistent on a nightly basis. Fantastic finisher near the basket with a solid face-up game from the midrange.

Career earnings: $27,756,960
Agent: Bill Duffy
15
Jimmy Butler / SF / Miami (Player Option)
One of the best two-way players in the league, who is an extremely efficient scorer despite lacking an accurate three-pointer. Uses the foul line to make up for lack of outside shooting. Elite defender both one-on-one and as a helper.

Career earnings: $145,031,128
Agent: Bernie Lee
16
Kemba Walker / PG / Boston (Player Option)

Derrick Favors / C / Utah (Player Option)
Experienced big man. Lacks in the quickness department but uses size and length well to protect the paint and rebound. Solid finisher down low.

Kris Dunn / PG / Atlanta
Offensively limited game due to poor outside shooting and scoring instincts in general, but one of the best defenders against fellow guards out there.
2020/21 stats: 8.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 4.2 apg, 42.2 FG%, 30.6 3P%

56
Tristan Thompson / C / Boston
Rebounding, particularly on the offensive end, is his specialty. Capable finisher down low with soft touch on his hook shot. No range as a scorer, and not the best defender when forced to switch.

Avery Bradley / SG / Houston
Very quick feet and a strong frame for his position. Those two attributes make him one of the toughest one-on-one defenders against guards. Can hit open threes mostly with his feet set.
2020/21 stats: 8.5 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 1.6 apg, 44.2 FG%, 35.2 3P%

Joe Ingles / SF / Utah
Elite outside shooter who particularly likes to let them fly from the corners. Also able to run pick-and-rolls and create for teammates. Feisty defender.

Goran Dragic / PG / Miami
Getting up there in age and not finishing as tidily as he used to from the paint, but he can still help teams with his scoring and vision as a passer.

One of the most reliable passers and creators in the league, though poor outside shooting numbers continue to plague him.

Quickly improving 2-guard who lacks in size but has the athleticism and shooting ability to make up for it.

Delon Wright / SG / Sacramento
Solid backup guard who is an able scorer, rebounder and passer as a bench player. Great pickpocket on the defensive end, and really good instincts jumping passing lanes.
2020/21 stats: 10.2 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 4.8 apg, 46.5 FG%, 36.7 3P%

Robert Williams / C / Boston (Restricted)
Hasn’t gotten a huge role yet, but he makes a big impact in his stints on the floor. Elite shot-blocker and finisher around the rim.

65
Kyle Anderson / PF / Memphis
Supersized forward who plays almost in slow-motion, hence his nickname, who can do a bit of everything, though none of it at an elite level.
2020/21 stats: 12.4 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 3.4 apg, 47.5 FG%, 35.6 3P%

Patrick Beverley / PG / LA Clippers
Elite defender against fellow point guards, but though he plays big for his size, he’s not as effective defensively against bigger players. Capable spot-up outside shooter.

Derrick Jones Jr / SF / Portland
Outrageous athlete with a great wingspan. Makes at least one huge highlight every few games. Not just an athlete, though, he’s really improved shooting and defensive impact in recent years.

Taurean Prince / PF / Cleveland
