Nos. 25-21

25. Seth Curry — Poor Seth Curry. It’s not his fault his big brother is the best player in the world right now. Luckily, the younger Curry has worked his way into the Sacramento Kings‘ rotation, averaging 15.3 points in 27.1 minutes per game on .521/.515/.941 shooting splits over his last seven games.

24. Hollis Thompson — Hollis Thompson recently turned 25, so we had to add him to this list as well. He’s only shooting 40.4 percent from the field this year, but as the Philadelphia 76ers‘ designated sharpshooter on the perimeter, he’s converted 38.7 percent of his long range attempts. He’s averaging 9.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in 27.9 minutes per game and has appeared in 73 games.

23. Shelvin Mack — Is Shelvin Mack a legitimate NBA point guard? I wouldn’t have believed it before his recent 24-game stint as the starting point guard for the Utah Jazz. He’s averaging 12.3 points, 5.5 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game in that small sample size, shooting 39 percent from three-point range. He’s not a long-term solution, but he’s done his job for now.

22. Robert Covington — The problem with Robert Covington is it’s hard to tell how good he actually is when his numbers are inflated playing for a terrible team like the Philadelphia 76ers. Though he’s averaging a respectable 12.0 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, he’s only shooting 38 percent from the floor and 34 percent from three-point range.

21. Matthew Dellavedova — Delly is a dirty player, he can be clumsy and even when he was playing so well in last year’s NBA Finals, his emergence was mostly seen as a joke. But this season, he’s backing it up with 7.5 points and 4.5 assists per game, all while bringing intensity on defense, aggressive lobs to the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ bigs and 41.7 percent shooting from three-point range.
