Original title: US media evaluates the big fish in the offseason free market: Vucevic fell out of the top 10, Irving is only 2nd
Who will be the big fish in free agency 2023 in the 2023 offseason? The American media "Hoopshype" also wrote the 50-man roster for each team in advance. Former center Vucevic fell out of the top 10, the Warriors of Dreams ranked 8th, and the Nets with Irving ranked 2nd.
10th place: Dillon Brooks
As one of the Grizzlies' core rotation, Dillon Brooks is a very good defender, always passionate and confident on the court, but relatively poor in shooting ability and expected to struggle to get big contracts.
9th place: Kuzma (player selection)
Kuzma is playing a career-best this season, averaging 21.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, so it's no surprise that he jumped to have a contract.
Although his shooting performance is not ideal, Kuzma can score as a big man, has good defensive and rebounding abilities, and can create opportunities for teammates around him. It is believed that Kuzma will get a good job. Agreement.
8th place: Chasing dreams (player's choice)

Whenever a contract arrives, Chasing Dreams can take performance up a notch on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and this season is no different.
While he continues to provide his best defensive contribution, he also plays an important role on the offensive end. However, given his age and scoring ability, he is unlikely to want a top salary.
7th place: Boshen (player's choice)
After being traded to the Wizards, Boshen performed better.
Especially this season, Boshen has improved his offensive efficiency while reducing the number of shots. He averaged 22.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. Defensively, he is a huge threat as a space-type interior player. On the defensive end, he's also an excellent blocker.
Sixth place: Turner
Turner has wanted to leave the Pacers for recent seasons, so rumors about him have been around him.
He will create opportunities in the offseason. One of the best blockers in the game, Turner played space ball. Inside behavior, I believe many teams want him.
Fifth place: Grant
Grant has a wide range of scoring abilities on the offensive end and can switch to multiple positions on the defensive end.
4th place: Middleton (player selection)
Injury-ridden Middleton has had mediocre performances this season, but with fitness he is a reasonable second-leading scorer on championship teams. Considering that there are still player options, Middleton has more options in the offseason, and can test the waters in the open market or choose to exercise the player option, hoping for next summer.
Third place: VanVleet (player optional) If it weren't for Middleton's injury, VanVleet would have been difficult to break into the top three, but judging by his performance this season, he still has hope to sign another big contract, after all, he is still a scorer with a big heart and a lot of people with excellent confrontation and defensive ability.
Second place: Owen
A spate of off-court farce has left Irving conflicted, but as long as he puts his energy on the court, he's one of the best point guards in the game.
If he can help the Nets make the playoffs this season, I believe he will still get a big contract. If something happens off-site later, this one could undermine the possibility of a big contract extension.
1st place: Harden (player selection)
If he took a pay cut last year in order to stay with the team, it means he will enter the open market again this summer.
Considering that his old club, the Rockets, is going through a rebuilding period and Harden remains the best scorer and playmaker in good health, I believe Deng's stay with the 76ers or back with the Rockets will satisfy him with a top-salary contract.
The rest of the rankings are as follows
11-20: Vucevic, Poeltl, Da Lo, Clarkson, Russell, Wood, Cameron Johnson, Barnes, Westbrook, Bruce Brown;
21-30: Gary Trent Jr., Bogdan, Lowe, Oubre, Beasley, Trey Jones, Strus, LeVere, PJ Washington, Reeves;
31-40: Martin Jr., Curry Jr., McDaniels, Reggie, Love, Reid, Lonnie Walker, Dosham, Plumlee, TJ Warren;
41-50: Burks, Yuta Watanabe, Richards, Wall, DiVincenzo, Milton, Nyon, Beazley, Clegg and Oladipon.
