24. player. 73. . SG. Denver Nuggets. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is experiencing the greatest success of his career from 3-point range, no doubt aided by the wizard-esque playmaking of Nikola Jokic. On top of his prolific outside shooting, KCP supplies quality wing defense and the occasional dose of self-creation offensively.

170. . SG. Charlotte Hornets. Terry Rozier. 23. player

Terry Rozier continues to produce big numbers for the wayward Hornets. His craft off the dribble can be must-watch television. What makes Rozier so valuable — for Charlotte or for prospective trade suitors — is his ability to scale up or down based on team need. When LaMelo Ball was out early in the season, Rozier looked the part of go-to playmaker. He can just as easily bomb spot-up 3s and slash to the rim in a more complementary role.

Houston Rockets. Jalen Green. 22. player. 169. . SG

The Rockets’ lack of structure and discipline has undoubtedly been bad for Jalen Green’s development. He has practically been given free reign in the Rockets’ offense, often to his detriment. But, the athleticism, footwork, and shot-making talent is undeniable. He has All-Star upside.
