NBA Free Agency: The best power forwards still available on the open market

The 2019-20 NBA season continues to draw closer and training camps will officially open today for clubs that will play in the Global Games. Camps will also open for the rest of the NBA on Tuesday, and teams around the league have made several additions in recent days as they attempt to complete their rosters ahead of the new campaign.

Nevertheless, a number of notable free agents remain available around the NBA and individuals without a team will be hoping to be signed ahead of opening night. While there is plenty of promising inexperienced free agents available, the majority are seasoned veterans that have plenty of experience, and here we will take a look at the best power forwards still available on the open market.

#3 Dante Cunningham

Dante Cunningham spent the 2018-19 season with the San Antonio Spurs

Dante Cunningham was drafted 33rd overall by the Portland Trail Blazers a decade ago, and the forward has enjoyed a successful career in the NBA playing primarily as a reserve. After playing some of the best basketball of his career with the Brooklyn Nets during a brief spell with the team at the end of the 2017-18 season, Cunningham headed to the San Antonio Spurs last year.

Cunningham's 14.5 minutes per game were his lowest total since his rookie season, although the 32-year-old managed to become a regular in Gregg Popovich's rotation as he played 64 times during the regular season. His return of 3.0 points and 2.9 rebounds per game don't exactly jump out, although Cunningham connected with 46% of his three-point attempts while also offering effort at both ends of the court.

Ultimately, the veteran is not the most exciting option, although he remains one of the most well-rounded wings available that will also offer a threat from beyond the arc.

#2 Kenneth Faried

After averaging a near double-double over his first five seasons in the NBA, Kenneth Faried's career hit a slump between 2016 and 2018. During his final season with Denver, Faried only managed 14.4 minutes per game, and the veteran played just 12 times following his move to the Nets last summer. Nevertheless, Faried's career experienced a resurgence after he signed with the Rockets back in January as he took advantage of several injuries to force himself into Mike D'Antoni's team.

Over 25 appearances (13 starts), Faried managed 12.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, while also continuing to improve his accuracy from three-point range. Still just 29, Faried has plenty of good basketball left in him and has been linked to the likes of the Los Angeles Lakers. Faried can also play stretches at the 5, and the former Denver star is among the best free agents left on the open market.

#1 Carmelo Anthony

Carmelo Anthony has not played since his ill-fated 10-game spell with the Houston Rockets

Out of all the remaining free agents, no individual has attracted more attention than Carmelo Anthony. The 35-year-old has not played since leaving the Houston Rockets back in November, and his last full season with the Oklahoma City Thunder was widely regarded as the worst of his career. Nevertheless, Melo still has plenty of support around the NBA, and while his game hasn't exactly aged well, he remains a player that is more than capable of scoring 20 points on any given night.

Anthony has also expressed his willingness to come off the bench after resisting the idea during his year with the Thunder and the veteran will be determined to prove his critics wrong. A move to the Brooklyn Nets has been speculated, and Anthony will certainly provide firepower to a team looking to bolster its bench.
