Updated 2023 NBA Free Agent Rankings: The Best Players Still Available

Andy BaileyJun 30, 2023

Day 2 of 2023 NBA free-agency period is upon us, as teams were allowed to officially court additions Friday at 6 p.m. ET.

Based on past production, age, how they fit in the modern NBA and a healthy dose of subjectivity, here are the top players available right now.

8. Kelly Oubre Jr. (unrestricted)

The Charlotte Hornets were among the league's worst teams, and he only appeared in 48 games, so Kelly Oubre Jr. operated in relative obscurity last season.

But his 20.3 points and 2.3 threes (albeit on just 31.9 percent shooting from deep) demonstrate that he could still help someone as a sparkplug scorer off the bench.

7. Mason Plumlee (unrestricted)

Mason Plumlee has never been a highly touted big man, but he brings a varied skill set that's increasingly valuable as teams embrace playmaking bigs.

There are only 10 players in NBA history who match or exceed both of his career marks for rebounding percentage and assist percentage.

6. P.J. Washington (restricted)

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MARCH 31: P.J. Washington #25 of the Charlotte Hornets is shaken up after a play against the Chicago Bulls in the second quarter at Spectrum Center on March 31, 2023 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

P.J. Washington shot a career-high 38.6 percent from deep in 2020-21, but that mark has gone down in each season since. Still, he's enough of a threat from the outside to pull opposing forwards away from the basket and can occasionally make a play with the ball.

5. Dillon Brooks (unrestricted)

Dillon Brooks is a historically bad shooter whose overconfidence was brutally exposed by LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the postseason, but he's a competitor and solid defender who may have some untapped potential as a tertiary (or quaternary) playmaker.

4. Grant Williams (restricted)

BOSTON, MA - MAY 29: Grant Williams #12 of the Boston Celtics shoots the ball during Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat on May 29, 2023 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.

Grant Williams may want to re-sign with the Boston Celtics, but the addition of Porziņģis likely means his time there is done.

There will surely be teams that can talk themselves into a stout frontcourt defender who's hit 39.7 percent of his three-point attempts over the last three seasons.

3. Donte Divincenzo (unrestricted)

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 12: Donte DiVincenzo #0 of the Golden State Warriors attempts a layup against Lonnie Walker IV #4 of the Los Angeles Lakers during the second quarter in game six of the Western Conference Semifinal Playoffs at Crypto.com Arena on May 12, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

After an injury-riddled 2021-22 campaign torpedoed his free-agency value last year, Donte DiVincenzo bounced back with 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in just 26.3 minutes per game for the Golden State Warriors in 2022-23.

His well-rounded game and outside shooting (39.7 percent from deep last season) make him one of this summer's more interesting plug-and-play options.

2. Russell Westbrook (unrestricted)

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 22: Russell Westbrook #0 of the LA Clippers scores on a layup in front of Landry Shamet #14 and Kevin Durant #35 of the Phoenix Suns during the first quarter of Game Four of the Western Conference First Round Playoffs at Crypto.com Arena on April 22, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

Right when it was starting to feel like the end of his career might come as quickly as it once did for Allen Iverson, Russell Westbrook had a perception-altering postseason with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Spacey defense and an inconsistent jumper will still be concerns, but with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George out, Westbrook's aggression and ability to get to the paint kept L.A. competitive in the first round.

Despite a bizarre situation in which his role seemed to change every time he got comfortable, Christian Wood stuffed the stat sheet with 16.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 threes and 1.1 blocks in just 25.9 minutes in 2022-23. Teams in need of some shooting in the frontcourt should be interested.
