10. Nemanja Bjelica, Minnesota Timberwolves

This drop in the rankings isn’t about the fact that he can’t play in the NBA. Rather, it’s more about what he’s done lately that’s dropped him.

He was limited of late due to a knee injury that kept him off the floor for four games, and he struggled from the floor the two games before that, going a combined 1-of-11 on field goals.

The good news is that he was a perfect 4-of-4 for 10 points Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Clippers, giving Timberwolves fans reason to love the European darling again.

A modern shooting big man, Bjelica has a future in this league and with Minnesota. Hopefully he can stay healthy in the weeks to come.
