2025 NBA free agent rankings: Top shooting guards available this summer
Cam Thomas / Brooklyn / Restricted
Pure bucket-getter especially from three and the midrange. Gets very good rise on his jumper and can stop on a dime to get shots off. Not the most efficient player and unclear how impactful his game is to winning.
2024/25 stats: 24.7 ppg, 3.4 apg, 3.6 rpg, 0.7 spg, 44.8 FG%, 37.5 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $4,041,249
Career earnings: $10,455,849
Agent: Alex Saratsis and Jeff Austin
Nickeil Alexander-Walker / Minnesota
Developed into a very effective defender thanks to quickness and length. Can do some scoring, too, especially from beyond the arc as a spot-up shooter but is even more effective as a defender.
2024/25 stats: 8.7 ppg, 2.4 apg, 2.9 rpg, 0.6 spg, 44.2 FG%, 39.6 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $4,312,500
Career earnings: $23,349,113
Agent: Thaddeus Foucher and Joe Smith
Caris LeVert / Atlanta
Crafty scorer who can play some 2 or 3. Inconsistent with his jumper, which hurts his impact but has a smooth ability to get creative buckets. Slippery with the ball in his hands. Can occasionally get hot and have huge scoring nights. Playing a role on an elite team this year, which has hurt his individual numbers. That could scare interested teams in free agency.
2024/25 stats: 10.5 ppg, 3.8 apg, 2.8 rpg, 0.9 spg, 0.5 bpg, 46.6 FG%, 41.4 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $16,615,384
Career earnings: $92,023,277
Agent: Austin Brown
Malik Beasley / Detroit
Marksman of a three-point shooter with great accuracy from beyond the arc. Loves to shoot, though, even when he's cold, which can cost his team possessions. Doesn't take the best shot at times. Regardless, an excellent outside shooter, which will get you paid in today's NBA.
2024/25 stats: 16.3 ppg, 1.8 apg, 2.9 rpg, 0.9 spg, 43.4 FG%, 41.3 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $6,000,000
Career earnings: $60,019,256
Agent: Daniel Hazan
Keon Ellis / Sacramento / Team Option
Energetic 2-guard with great athleticism. Can get hot from three at a moment's notice, too. Very good outside shooter.
2024/25 stats: 7.6 ppg, 1.3 apg, 2.4 rpg, 1.4 spg, 0.8 bpg, 46.9 FG%, 43.0 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $2,120,693
Career earnings: $3,313,014
Agent: Corey Marcum
Luke Kennard / Memphis
One of the best outside shooters in the league who can even sink shots off the dribble. Underrated playmaker who can run a pick-and-roll effectively, too.
2024/25 stats: 9.8 ppg, 3.5 apg, 2.9 rpg, 0.7 spg, 48.0 FG%, 48.5 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $9,250,000
Career earnings: $66,242,364
Agent: Steve Heumann, Aaron Mintz, Dave Spahn
Gary Trent Jr / Milwaukee
Very good outside shooter who can knock down shots off the dribble or with his feet set. Can hit some pull-up jumpers against strong closeouts. Solid offensive player overall.
2024/25 stats: 9.6 ppg, 1.0 apg, 2.3 rpg, 1.0 spg, 42.6 FG%, 41.7 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $2,613,120
Career earnings: $58,597,297
Agent: Rich Paul and Lucas Newton
Ty Jerome / Cleveland
A story of resilience, he has finally played up to the level many were hopeful he could reach as a first-round pick in the 2019 draft after years of splitting time between the NBA and G League. Can make plays for others and hit some jumpers off the dribble, as well as threes with his feet set.
2024/25 stats: 11.2 ppg, 3.4 apg, 2.4 rpg, 1.2 spg, 51.6 FG%, 43.1 3P%

Career earnings: $16,638,308
Agent: Mark Bartelstein and Kieran Piller
Tim Hardaway Jr. / Detroit
Veteran 2-guard who can hit threes not just as a spot-up shooter but also off the dribble from time to time. Streaky from the outside but he can get hot occasionally.
2024/25 stats: 10.8 ppg, 1.6 apg, 2.2 rpg, 0.5 spg, 41.5 FG%, 37.4 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $16,193,183
Career earnings: $153,858,652
Agent: Mark Bartelstein and Zach Kurtin

Career earnings: $12,231,986
Agent: Bill Duffy
Bruce Brown / New Orleans
Versatile guard who has played all five positions in his career (seriously). Good slasher with a nice floater in the painted area.
2024/25 stats: 8.4 ppg, 1.6 apg, 3.8 rpg, 0.9 spg, 44.3 FG%, 33.3 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $23,000,000
Career earnings: $60,134,279
Agent: Ty Sullivan and Steve Heumann
Quentin Grimes / Philadelphia / Restricted
A lower-profile victim of the Mavericks' great trading spree of 2025, the 2-guard is enjoying a breakout season. Good quickness and shot-making ability, very adept outside shooter and can finish around the basket.
2024/25 stats: 10.2 ppg, 2.1 apg, 3.8 rpg, 0.7 spg, 46.3 FG%, 39.8 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $4,296,682

Career earnings: $8,997,873

Gary Payton II / Golden State
Defensive-minded energy guard who can score off of slashes but is a poor outside shooter.

2024/25 earnings: $9,130,000
Career earnings: $29,935,544
Agent: Aaron Goodwin
Pat Connaughton / Milwaukee / Player Option
Bouncy 2-guard with some underrated hops. But too streaky of an outside shooter. Plays with good energy and effort on both ends.
2024/25 stats: 4.5 ppg, 1.6 apg, 2.7 rpg, 43.0 FG%, 33.9 3P%
2024/25 earnings: $9,423,869
Career earnings: $41,182,899
Agent: Jeff Schwartz and Jordan Gertler

2024/25 earnings: $3,303,771
Career earnings: $184,699,961
Agent: Todd Ramasar
Kevin Porter / LA Clippers / Player Option
Return season in the NBA not going all that great, as he's struggled with his efficiency a good bit. Doesn't look like the player who was averaging almost 20 in Houston a couple of seasons back. Off-court issues also don't portend to a big payday in free agency.
2024/25 stats: 9.3 ppg, 3.2 apg, 3.6 rpg, 1.0 spg, 42.3 FG%, 24.5 3P%

Career earnings: $27,106,884
Agent: Sam Permut
Gary Harris / Orlando / Team Option
