Tiered FA Big Rankings

[quady]

Tier 1: Young, Potential Starter Material

Rank	Name	Postion	Height	Weight	Age	In	Out	Hnd	Def	Reb	Pot	Last Team
1	Zymicah Wilkins	C	6'8''	225	24	C+	C-	D-	B+	B-	A	Suns
2	JT Toppin	C	6'8''	225	25	B+	C	D+	B+	B+	C	Mavericks
3	Malachi Moreno	C	6'11''	230	24	C+	C-	C	B	A-	D	Celtics

Unfortunately for the incumbent teams, this is a very light top-level big class. Toppin and Moreno both got starting minutes at times last year while Wilkins was a third stringer, but the A potential is hard to ignore. Wilkins and Toppin are maybe a little small for the five. Prediction: All three go back to their incumbent teams on deals that beat out MLE offers. There is not a lot of cap space out there and I don't see it getting blown on these guys. The Suns and Mavericks are very close to the hard cap at the moment without close to full rosters, but I bet Tyler and Hoff find a way to make it work. I will definitely be throwing MLEs at these guys, just in case they do not.


Tier 2: Older Vet Potential Starters

Rank	Name	Postion	Height	Weight	Age	In	Out	Hnd	Def	Reb	Pot	Last Team
4	Skal Labissiere	PF	6'10''	235	34	C	C+	D	A-	B+	D	Bullets
5	Amari Williams	C	7'0''	260	29	C+	D+	B	A-	B	C	Bullets
6	Jakob Poeltl	C	7'0''	245	35	C+	D+	C	B+	B+	D	Magic
7	Jarrett Allen	C	6'11''	243	32	C+	C	C	A-	B+	C	Warriors
8	Mitchell Robinson	C	7'0''	240	32	B-	D	D-	B+	A-	D	Clippers
9	John Collins	PF	6'9''	235	33	B	B-	D	B-	A-	D	Hornets

A lot of tried and true names here that have been bouncing around for a while. Definitely some potential TC casualties as well between Skal, Poeltl, Robinson, and Collins. Prediction: Bullets lose their guys to MLEs while chasing other FAs. The Magic retain Poeltl at $5mm. Warriors, Clippers, and Hornets all go safely above the MLE and retain their guys as well.


Tier 3: Nice Backups

Rank	Name	Postion	Height	Weight	Age	In	Out	Hnd	Def	Reb	Pot	Last Team
10	Isaiah Hartenstein	C	7'0''	250	32	C+	C	D	B-	B	C	Nets
11	Nathan Knight	C	6'8''	253	33	B-	B	C	B	B	C	SuperSonics
12	Santi Aldama	PF	6'11''	224	30	B	B-	D+	B-	B-	C	Spurs
13	Sandro Mamukelashvili	C	6'11''	240	31	B+	B-	C	C	A-	C	Raptors
14	Alex Sarr	C	7'0''	205	25	B+	C+	C	B+	C+	C	Cavaliers
15	Bam Adebayo	C	6'9''	255	33	B-	C	C	A	A-	C	Nuggets
16	Liam Robbins	C	7'0''	235	31	C	D+	C-	A-	B	D	Magic
17	James Wiseman	C	7'0''	240	29	B	B-	C-	B+	A-	C	Pacers
18	Tyler Smith	PF	6'11''	224	26	B-	C+	C-	A-	B-	D	Grizzlies

Kind of a motley crew here of vets. Bam is looking around and confused why he's here. (It's because he sucks.) Wiseman might be too low, but his numbers last year were not very good. Besides those guys, these are mostly career backups or third stringers that have put up decent numbers of late. Prediction: Bam, Wiseman, and Sarr are all MLEs. The remainder go for between the MLE and LLE. As third or fourth bigs, I would be very happy with any of these guys. As starters, I'd be pretty worried.


Tier 4: Definitely Backups

Rank	Name	Postion	Height	Weight	Age	In	Out	Hnd	Def	Reb	Pot	Last Team
19	Maxime Raynaud	C	7'1''	250	28	C+	B	D+	C+	B+	B	Mavericks
20	Jalen Smith	PF	6'10''	215	30	C	B	D-	C+	B+	C	Clippers
21	Bobby Portis	C	6'10''	250	35	B-	B	D	B-	B+	D	Spurs
22	Clint Capela	C	6'10''	240	36	C+	D+	D	B	B+	D	Nuggets
23	Luke Kornet	C	7'2''	250	35	C+	B+	C-	B	C+	C	Cavaliers
24	Zach Collins	C	6'11''	250	33	C+	B+	C	B	B	D	Nuggets
25	Baye Fall	C	6'11''	210	26	C	C	D+	B-	C+	C	Celtics
26	Ariel Hukporti	C	7'0''	246	28	C	D	D	B-	B	C	Bullets
27	Wendell Carter Jr.	C	6'10''	270	31	B+	C+	C-	B	B	C	Trail Blazers
28	Bruno Fernando	C	6'9''	240	32	B	D+	F+	C	A	C	SuperSonics
29	Xavier Tillman Sr.	C	6'8''	245	32	C	C	C-	B+	B-	D	Grizzlies
30	Jaren Jackson Jr.	PF	6'10''	242	31	B-	B+	C	B+	C	C	76ers
31	Olivier Rioux	C	7'9''	305	25	C	C-	D	B-	B	D	Nets
32	Thomas Bryant	C	6'10''	248	33	B-	C+	C	B	C+	D	Jazz
33	Charles Bassey	C	6'10''	235	30	C	C	C-	B	B	D	Celtics

Not a ton to say about these fellas. I would be surprised if any were poached for above the LLE. I'm assuming some will make it to leftovers. All these guys have turned in capable backup minutes and would be helpful rounding out a rotation. TC could be iffy on a lot of the older options.
