2026 NBA free agent rankings: The best players who could be available next year

.
.

Free agency isn’t what it once was in the NBA, as these days, players are almost always choosing to sign contract extensions rather than test the open market. That’s because the new CBA has given players much more financial incentive not to switch teams.

Either way, some good players could end up hitting free agency next year anyway, as they always do.

Below, check out the projected top 2026 NBA free agents (for now).

1. Luka Doncic / PG / LA Lakers / Player Option

A yearly MVP candidate, it will be fascinating to see how the next season and a half goes for him now that he's joining the Lakers. Will the Lakers even let him hit free agency? Regardless, one of the best players in the NBA and will remain so if he takes his conditioning and diet seriously.

2024/25 stats: 26.4 ppg, 8.4 rpg, 7.7 apg, 2.0 spg, 0.5 bpg, 45.1 FG%, 33.7 3P%

A somehow underrated former No. 1 pick who looks like a future All-NBA guy. It is a bit scary that he missed so much time in 2024-25 due to injury but that was the first time he's missed such an extended period since getting to the NBA, so shouldn't be a huge concern. Great size, strength, athleticism and skill on the wing who can score at a high level, as well as create and rebound. Has developed his jumper quite nicely, too. We're going to list him here for now, but he's more than likely signing an extension before free agency comes.

2024/25 stats: 23.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 4.8 apg, 0.6 spg, 0.8 bpg, 41.9 FG%, 29.3 3P%

His game seems to be expanding, as he's putting up the best numbers of his career right now. Still not much of a rebounder but a very good shot-blocker, solid floor-spacer and excellent for a big man driving the ball.

2024/25 stats: 22.9 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 2.2 apg, 1.3 spg, 1.7 bpg, 49.7 FG%, 36.1 3P%

Finally hit that All-Star level, the question is: Can he reach an All-NBA level? Very crafty scorer from the midrange who can also finish around the rim. One-on-one bucket-getter with good size on the wing.

2024/25 stats: 21.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 5.1 apg, 1.7 spg, 0.7 bpg, 47.6 FG%, 35.1 3P%

It will be fascinating to see how his time in San Antonio goes. Should form a fun partnership with Victor Wembanyama. If they acclimate well, it might be tough for another team to pry him out of San Antonio. Lightning-fast point guard with three-level scoring and a quick crossover.

2024/25 stats: 24.3 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 6.3 apg, 1.6 spg, 0.4 bpg, 46.5 FG%, 31.5 3P%

Questions linger about his ability to stay healthy due to his thin frame. Experienced a second extended absence in 2024-25. When he's out there, he's a very unique player – a big man who can handle the ball like a guard, hit shots from all over the floor, drive and finish or kick, and block shots at a high level on the other end.

2024/25 stats: 15.3 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 1.7 apg, 0.9 spg, 2.9 bpg, 50.3 FG%, 39.6 3P%

Game hasn't started to slow down to age yet, the one concern is with nagging injuries, as he has started to miss more time here and there. Even so, when healthy, remains an elite scorer, solid rebounder and playmaker, and an impactful defender when he locks in late in games.

2024/25 stats: 26.9 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 4.3 apg, 0.9 spg, 1.4 bpg, 53.0 FG%, 40.2 3P%

One of the best playmakers in the NBA who can hit shots from all over the floor. He can be a bit inefficient, though, and won't provide much on defense.

2024/25 stats: 24.0 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 11.5 apg, 1.2 spg, 0.2 bpg, 40.7 FG%, 33.3 3P%

One of the best scoring point guards in the league with the ability to hit tough shots against elite defenses. A proven playoff performer who helped guide Dallas to the Finals last season. Also, an extremely crafty and quick ball-handler who can finish around the basket with a beautiful layup package. He remains at that All-Star level.

2024/25 stats: 24.9 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 4.7 apg, 1.3 spg, 0.4 bpg, 47.5 FG%, 41.1 3P%

Will be around 36 by the time he signs his next contract if he doesn't get extended by Milwaukee. With him not being the biggest player, that could raise concerns about how his game might age. Regardless, for now, he remains an All-Star-level point guard.

2024/25 stats: 25.5 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 7.4 apg, 1.2 spg, 0.2 bpg, 44.6 FG%, 38.0 3P%

11. LeBron James / SF / LA Lakers

How will the Lakers' blockbuster addition of Luka Doncic affect LeBron James' future with the team? We'll find out this summer, as James has a player option on his deal, and he is fully expected to exercise to hit free agency. Regardless, that even at 40 years old James remains the best free agent in a class is nuts and speaks to his greatness as a player.

2024/25 stats: 24.7 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 8.7 apg, 0.9 spg, 0.6 bpg, 52.0 FG%, 39.6 3P%

Looks like his All-Star self in 2024-25, providing three-level scoring with his tough-shot-making chops and bouncy athleticism near the basket.

2024/25 stats: 23.8 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 4.5 apg, 0.9 spg, 0.2 bpg, 50.8 FG%, 43.1 3P%

An All-Star yet again this season, the bearded superstar has seen his game age like a fine wine. His shot-making isn't quite as efficient as it was in his prime but he remains a high-level scorer and playmaker.

2024/25 stats: 21.6 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 8.6 apg, 1.5 spg, 0.6 bpg, 39.2 FG%, 34.1 3P%

NBA Iron Man who never misses games. Very good defender who can guard multiple positions. Jumper might look a bit funky now but still has to be respected from the outside as a shooter. Solid scorer from the midrange, too.

2024/25 stats: 17.5 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 3.3 apg, 1.0 spg, 0.5 bpg, 48.9 FG%, 35.7 3P%

Has taken a huge leap, which is interesting considering he's been in the NBA for some time now. Very good shooter from the outside who also has the quickness to get to the rim and finish around the basket.

2024/25 stats: 24.2 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 2.2 apg, 1.3 spg, 0.2 bpg, 49.6 FG%, 42.8 3P%

Excellent modern archetype thanks to his ability, as a big man, to block shots on one end and hit deep threes from the other. His only drawback is with him having trouble staying healthy.

2024/25 stats: 19.2 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 2.0 apg, 0.8 spg, 1.6 bpg, 47.6 FG%, 39.9 3P%

Floor-spacing center who can also drive the ball and post-up pretty well. Blocks shots from time to time but not an elite defender by any means.

2024/25 stats: 19.1 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 3.4 apg, 0.9 spg, 0.7 bpg, 53.3 FG%, 38.7 3P%

Not an All-Star but a very solid starting-level player. Can score from all three levels, draw fouls, sink foul shots, create plays. Tries hard on defense but not very effective on that end.

2024/25 stats: 19.2 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 6.1 apg, 1.1 spg, 0.3 bpg, 44.6 FG%, 36.0 3P%

The 2023-24 Sixth Man of the Year, the big man is a very good shooter and rim-attacker who can finish with toughness around the rim. Guard-like game in a big man’s body.

High-energy guard who is one of the best backcourt defenders in the league. Offense has developed to the point he can get you a bucket or two here or there, as well. Much-improved shooter.

2024/25 stats: 9.7 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 1.6 apg, 1.1 spg, 0.6 bpg, 42.6 FG%, 39.8 3P%

Very impactful defender who makes huge noise in passing lanes and picking pockets. Athletic and plays with great energy, just needs to keep improving offensive game.

A great driver of the ball, a good playmaker and scorer from the midrange and near the bucket. Also, a solid three-point shooter who can even hit some triples off the dribble. He was a clunky fit in his first campaign in Minnesota and is a better player than he’s been able to show in 2024-25.

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images

Does not seem likely he'll actually hit free agency in 2026 considering how much money he's owed in 2026-27 vs. his current evel as a player. If he does, teams will be interested in him without the no-trade clause becuase he's still a pretty nice three-level scorer.

Suffered a season-ending injury at an awful time, as he was playing excellent basketball when he went down. Still, it was very promising how well he played in '24 before going down. Explosive 2-guard who can get buckets and has a great first step.

Explosive big man who can finish above the rim and through contact. Offensive range may be limited but he creates gravity with his athletic rim dives, opening up chances for his teammates on the outside.

Still has promise as a mobile outside shooting big man who can block shots and use his quick feet defensively when forced to switch. But he has yet to put it all together consistently enough.

2024/25 stats: 11.8 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 1.0 apg, 0.3 spg, 0.9 bpg, 42.9 FG%, 35.6 3P%

Smooth and confident point guard who can rain in buckets from deep beyond the arc. Good quickness getting to the basket, too, and great toughness. An excellent leader by example for this young Rockets squad.

Can score from three and the midrange well thanks to his picturesque jump shot. Can also do some rebounding and playmaking. Not showing huge signs of age-related aggression yet.

Of late, he looks more like the player he was when he first got to the Warriors and helped them win a title. Still has pretty good athleticism which helps him be an effective slasher and rebounder. Can hit a tough shot in a one-on-one situation from time to time.

Rugged guard who plays with a whole lot of toughness. Can shoot the three or get to the basket and finish around the rim. More of a combo guard in that he's usually looking to score first. High-energy player on both ends.

2024-25 was the most he's looked like his former promising self. Can hit threes out of the frontcourt, finish with athleticism around the rim and get some buckets off of put-backs. Not much of a defender but a pretty solid offensive weapon.

A double-double machine with good athleticism for finishing around the rim. At his best as a rebounder and when he's motivated, very tough to keep off of the offensive glass. Athletic finisher around the rim. Loses focus on defense a little too often.

So much upside but he hasn't really been able to put things together for very long stretches. Has guard-like qualities in a 6-foot-10 package but inconsistent shooter and has a propensity for turning it over. Luckily for him, he got to the NBA quite young and still has time to reach his ceiling.

Not the most athletic player but is smooth and skilled down low, with the ability to finish over either shoulder down low. Good hands and does a good job as a rebounder and play-finisher.

Might just be a good-player-on-bad-teams guy, as in his two stints with good teams in Boston and Miami, he struggled to put up anywhere near the numbers he did in Charlotte. Plays with confidence and can score from three and midrange but inconsistent shooter and not the best finisher down low.
