12. Lonzo Ball gets the chase-down block on Darren Collison

Lonzo Ball has quickly gained a reputation for being one of the league’s best defensive point guards. Playing in just his second season, Ball is becoming notorious for his lockdown defensive skills.

In this highlight, we see Ball put his athletic ability to the test as he hunts down a layup attempt from Darren Collison. Ball begins far out of the play, but hustles to recover and erase the shot before it has a chance to go in.

11. Brandon Ingram uses a killer spin move to get to the rim

Brandon Ingram has an array of deadly offensive moves. He is exceptional at playing within the flow of a game and reacting quickly to the defense. When an opponent steps up to stop Ingram, he simply reaches into his bag of tricks to beat his defender.

In this instance, BI utilized a killer dribble between his legs and then spun on his back legs in order to escape the defense and get to the baseline. After blowing past his man, Ingram put the cherry on top of this play by finishing with a reverse dunk.
