2025 NBA free agent rankings: Top power forwards available this summer

POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS /

SMALL FORWARDS / CENTERS

1

Julius Randle / Minnesota / Player Option

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.

2024/25 stats: 18.9 ppg, 4.5 apg, 7.2 rpg, 0.7 spg, 0.2 bpg, 47 FG%, 32.1 3P%

2024/25 earnings: $31,695,840

Career earnings: $162,231,642

Agent: George Bass, Steve Heumann, Aaron Mintz

2

Santiago Aldama / Memphis / Restricted

Nice athlete and inconsistent three-point shooter but plays with loads of effort, makes winning plays and has good feel for the game.

2024/25 stats: 12.8 ppg, 2.5 apg, 6.8 rpg, 0.8 spg, 0.5 bpg, 49.2 FG%, 37.2 3P%

2024/25 earnings: $3,960,531

Career earnings: $10,243,371

Agent: Aaron Mintz, Steve Heumann, Maxwell Saidman, Austin Brown

3

Bobby Portis / Milwaukee / Player Option

Good scorer for a big man thanks to post-game, spot-up shooting and face-up game. Solid rebounder, too, but not the most impactful defender. One of the better off-the-bench big men in the league.

2024/25 stats: 13.4 ppg, 2.0 apg, 7.9 rpg, 0.7 spg, 0.5 bpg, 46.6 FG%, 36.4 3P%

2024/25 earnings: $12,578,286

Career earnings: $64,862,440

Agent: Mark Bartelstein and Reggie Brown

4

John Collins / Utah / Player Option

Explosive 4-man who can shoot from the outside with his feet set. Maybe not the most impactful towards winning, though. Bouncy around the basket and can really throw down big dunks. Pretty much a nil on defense. Even so, his numbers look much better this year and that could make teams more interested in him this summer.

2024/25 stats: 18.1 ppg, 2.3 apg, 8.3 rpg, 1.0 spg, 1.0 bpg, 53.5 FG%, 45.5 3P%

2024/25 earnings: $26,580,000

Career earnings: $109,479,862

Agent: Sean Kennedy and Jeff Schwartz

5

Dorian Finney-Smith / LA Lakers / Player Option

How he does in the biggest market in the NBA will determine a lot about his free agency. Solid 3-and-D wing who can defend multiple positions, hit open threes and score off of off-ball cuts.

2024/25 stats: 8.9 ppg, 1.3 apg, 3.9 rpg, 0.9 spg, 0.4 bpg, 46.8 FG%, 43.1 3P%

2024/25 earnings: $14,924,167

Career earnings: $57,197,056

Agent: Michael Tellem and Jeff Schwartz

6

Guerschon Yabusele / Philadelphia

Has had an excellent return season as a role player in the NBA after years overseas. Versatile defender, quick feet, strong, stout and able to hit open threes and finish around the cup.

2024/25 stats: 11.1 ppg, 2.0 apg, 5.6 rpg, 0.8 spg, 0.4 bpg, 52.3 FG%, 40.0 3P%

2024/25 earnings: $2,087,519

Career earnings: $8,041,679

Agent: Andrew Morrison and Olivier Mazet

7

Chris Boucher / Toronto

Mobile big man who hits some threes and blocks some shots. Decent lob target but sometimes tries to do too much on offense.

2024/25 stats: 10.5 ppg, 0.6 apg, 4.3 rpg, 0.5 spg, 0.6 bpg, 50.6 FG%, 37.5 3P%

Career earnings: $50,892,899

Agent: Sam Permut

8

Jake LaRavia / Sacramento

Makes up for mid-level athleticism with good basketball instincts and great decision-making. Can hit open threes and is an impressive playmaker for his position.

2024/25 stats: 7.5 ppg, 2.9 apg, 4.5 rpg, 1.0 spg, 0.4 bpg, 49.2 FG%, 44.4 3P%

Career earnings: $9,600,240

Agent: Aaron Reilly

9

Larry Nance Jr. / Atlanta

Bouncy power forward/center who is at his best around the basket finishing out of the pick-and-roll. Solid lob threat. Won’t provide much floor-spacing but underrated passer.

2024/25 stats: 8.5 ppg, 1.6 apg, 4.5 rpg, 1.0 spg, 0.6 bpg, 51.2 FG%, 45.3 3P%

Career earnings: $72,487,052

Agent: Mark Bartelstein and Kieran Piller

10

Taurean Prince / Milwaukee

3-and-D swingman with the size and toughness to play some small-ball power forward in certain lineups.

2024/25 stats: 7.5 ppg, 2.1 apg, 3.7 rpg, 0.8 spg, 44.9 FG%, 45.4 3P%

Career earnings: $50,938,590

Agent: Rich Beda, Steve Heumann, Dave Spahn

11

Nicolas Batum / LA Clippers / Player Option

Vet whose career could be nearing its end. However, when he’s out there, he can still provide a positive impact with his floor-spacing and defensive versatility. Great locker room leader.

2024/25 stats: 3.4 ppg, 1.4 apg, 2.9 rpg, 0.6 spg, 0.4 bpg, 39.6 FG%, 38.6 3P%

Career earnings: $42,511,049

Agent: Rich Paul and Lucas Newton

13

Jaylin Williams / Oklahoma City / Team Option

Young big man with some potential because of his three-point shooting but hasn’t been able to unlock that higher level quite yet.
