In early October, I produced an article highlighting the second-year players who will turn heads during the 2014-15 NBA season. With the regular season in full swing, the second-year players previously listed and all others are back in the spotlight.

As we approach the quarter-mark of the 2014-15 regular season, many second-year players have begun to put it together. Few have emerged as star-caliber performers, but a number have made significant enough strides to warrant our attention.
