Athletic slashing point guard with playmaking skills but one completely lacking in three-point shooting. Seemed to lose confidence after solid early start with Orlando.

Has transformed from superstar prospect to a hard-working player who plays with bundles of energy and is a pest on the defensive end. Can hit some short midrange pull-ups or occasionally get to the basket.

2023/24 stats: 6.6 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 3.6 apg, 43.5 FG%, 29.4 3P%

Formerly a highly touted prospect who just hasn't panned out due to poor shooting and bad decision-making along with middling athleticism. He's probably worth another flyer in the NBA but he also probably won't get too many more chances.

2023/24 stats: 6.9 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 4.9 apg, 41.3 FG%, 29.7 3PT%

2023/24 earnings: $7,413,955

Career earnings: $24,131,515

Agent: David Bauman and Yann Balikouzou

Confident bucket-getter who even has a 50-point game under his belt. More of an old-school game in that he's just out there to score despite limited size. Needs to improve efficiency with his jumper to stick it out longer in the NBA.

2023/24 stats: 5.5 ppg, 1.7 rpg, 1.9 apg, 41.8 FG%, 33.1 3P%

2023/24 earnings: $3,873,024

Career earnings: $10,017,385

Had a couple of strong seasons earlier on in his career but hasn't been able to hit that level again in some time. At his best, a crafty scoring point guard with off-the-dribble pull-up scoring.

2023/24 stats: 5.0 ppg, 1.6 rpg, 2.1 apg, 35.2 FG%, 30.1 3P%

2023/24 earnings: $12,100,000

Undersized smooth bucket-getter who hit a good percentage of his threes last season. Probably a long shot to have a long NBA career due to his size but a fun player nonetheless.

2023/24 stats: 4.2 ppg, 1.1 rpg, 3.3 apg, 40.0 FG%, 40.5 3P%

2023/24 earnings: $701,336

Career earnings: $707,185
