In just his second season, Davis is in the discussion for best power forward in the game. Out of all the other top players at the position (Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge), Davis already has a greater impact on the defensive side of the floor as the league’s top shot blocker. Over the last eight games, he’s averaging 32.2 PPG and 13.5 RPG. Dragic has helped lead the Suns to going 4-1 in their last five games. Quietly in Sacramento, Thomas is putting up the same numbers as Dragic, averaging about seven points and more than two more assists better per game than last year.
