NBA Free Agency 2019: Power Forwards

After averaging career-highs across the board this season, he couldn’t be going into free agency at a better time.

After a trade landed him in Dallas, team owner Mark Cuban made it clear the organization plans to keep him around for the long haul.

The addition of Zion Williamson probably means Julius Randle will be switching teams for the second summer in a row. He put up huge numbers this season, though, so he won’t find it hard finding his next home. 

A versatile big man who can defend at a high level and score when needed. One of Denver’s better performers in the playoffs.

An adept floor-spacer from the 4-spot with quick feet on the defensive end. Can be quite streaky with his shot, however, which hurts his value.

Provides the Celtics with an element of toughness they wouldn’t have without him. Solid scoring big man who can iso, post-up and shoot the long ball.

A hugely impactful contributor thanks to his plus defense and finishing around the basket.

Not a great scorer, but does the little things that help you win. Plus defender on the wing.

Excellent bench scorer for a big man and appeared to improve his defense and rebounding.

Tough, throwback big with a decent jumper. Hard-nosed defender.

Had a career resurgence after joining the Rockets. Uses athleticism and safe hands to finish explosively around the rim.

Injuries killed him last season. Wasn’t able to get a huge role as a member of the Thunder, so it’s very doubtful he’ll be back there next year.

Experienced forward who still has hops despite being in his 30s.

Solid scorer and rebounder from the 4-spot who can space the floor from deep, making him a good fit as a modern big man.

Tough power forward who spaces the floor from the 4-spot.

Veteran presence who can knock down triples and is a tenacious, pesky defender.

If he’s willing to take a secondary role, he could be a productive piece on a good team. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like he’s willing to take that role quite yet.

A vet stretch-4 who plays his role well.

Athletic wing who gets after it on defense but struggles mightily on offense.

Acquitted himself nicely playing for a contender last season. Shooting nearly 39 percent from three over the last two years.

A skilled big who can make a big impact on offense when his three-point shot is falling. Last year it wasn’t so he fell out of the rotation.

If he weren’t constantly injured, he would be more sought-after as a reliable role player.

Solid scorer who doesn’t contribute much on the defensive end.

Experienced backup power forward.

Bouncy backup big man with good shot-blocking instincts.

Lacks the skill-set of the modern NBA big man. Tenacious rebounder.

Signed with the Spurs after spending time in China. Failed to crack their rotation.

Heralded as a stretch-4 coming out of college, but has shot under 36 percent on threes since reaching the NBA.

Athletic power forward who was one of the better players in EuroLeague last season.

Former first-round pick of the Washington Wizards. Having a respectable career in high-level Europe, and could be a candidate for NBA return thanks to translatable 3-and-D skills.

Didn’t play last season, retirement could be next for the Grizzlies legend.

Showed some potential on the Lakers as a high-energy bench big.

Good face-up scorer from the 4-spot.

Miami Heat legend who is seriously considering retirement.
