NBA’s top free-agent power forwards in 2022: Miles Bridges, Otto Porter and more

New York Times  

Hollinger’s Free-Agent rankings and projections: Top 25 free agents by BORD$ projections Top point guards by BORD$ projections Top shooting guards by BORD$ projections Top small forwards by BORD$ projections Top centers by BORD$ projections The power forward market is unexceptional this year, with the one top-tier player on the market seeming highly likely to stay. But a credible defender at the two forward spots who knows how to play and shoots 39.8 percent career from 3 should have considerable value, especially since he’s still only 29. Stanley Johnson, Lakers, $2,588,428 File this one under “unlikely.” The Lakers would seem more likely to pick up Johnson’s team option for $2.35 million for the coming season rather than let him hit free agency, simply because L.A. has to add at least six players in free agency already and that number will increase to seven if Johnson walks. While the Pacers are capped at paying him $4.67 million for the coming season because the Suns declined his third-year option, I don’t see his market going beyond that price because of Smith’s defensive shortcomings.
