25. Trevor Ariza

Despite being 35 years old, the veteran small forward has filled in well as the Miami Heat’s starting power forward. Trevor Ariza is still a solid 3-and-D player and the fact he didn’t play this season until the Heat traded for him from the Oklahoma City Thunder makes it even more impressive that he’s been this good.

24.  Maxi Kleber

Maxi Kleber would probably be a center on most teams and even acts as a center for the Dallas Maverick from time to time. He’s a solid defender who can stretch the floor. He’s not super athletic, which does put limitations on his game.

23. Daniel Theis

Daniel Theis started half the season as the Boston Celtics starting center but was undersized for the role at 6-foot-8. He’s now starting alongside Nicola Vucevic with the Chicago Bulls as their power forward. He’s a versatile defender who can occasionally stretch the floor although his primary value is on defense.

22. Darius Bazley

The Oklahoma City Thunder have a solid young prospect at the four spot in Darius Bazley. He’s a long athletic player at the position and has upside on both ends of the ball. That being written, he struggles with consistency on both ends of the court and isn’t an efficient scorer at the moment, however, at 20 years old he has room to grow.

21. Keldon Johnson

The San Antonio Spurs have the one of the smallest starting power forward in the NBA with Keldon Johnson. It’s surprising at 6-foot-5 he can defender opposing power forwards as well as he does. He can also take advantage of those matchups on offense as he has a lot of perimeter skills. If he was allowed to play as a wing in the future he could be a very good player down the road.
