10. Malik Monk, SG
It was surprising that the Lakers were able to sign Malik Monk to a minimum contract last season. That won’t be the case this offseason for the 6-foot-3 combo guard. He’s a spark plug off the bench for any team and the 24-year-old will most likely be out of the 76ers price range.
9. Otto Porter Jr., F
I’ve written about Otto Porter Jr. so much in the past, I might as well join his fan club. In all seriousness, Porter is a great 3-and-D veteran on this list. At 6-foot-8 he can defend multiple positions. The 28-year-old’s biggest problem is health so he could be had for cheaper than what his play would indicate.
8. Ricky Rubio, PG
Despite coming off yet another ACL tear last season, Ricky Rubio is still an elite member of the unrestricted free agent class this season. The 31-year-old is one of the better floor generals in the NBA and despite standing at just 6-foot-2, he’s really good defensively. Assuming he can come back at the same level he played at prior to the injury, he can still be a starting level point guard or high-end backup.
7. Kyle Anderson, F
Kyle Anderson, a.k.a. “Slo Mo” is one of the most unique forwards in the NBA. At 6-foot-9, the Memphis Grizzlies wing plays at his own pace on offense and is a skilled playmaker. The 28-year-old is a solid two-way player and could be a starter for at least half the teams in the league. He should get paid nicely this offseason.
6. Jusuf Nurkic, C
The Portland Trail Blazers have a tough decision to make about their starting center Jusuf Nurkic. The 27-year-old is a solid two-way big man in the league, but if they go full rebuild the 6-foot-11 big man will have to find a home elsewhere in the NBA.
