1. Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans
2014-15 Stats: 24.4 points, 10.2 rebounds
In his short time in the NBA, Anthony Davis has propelled himself as a top-5 player at any position in the league. Davis is only 21 years old, but with averages of 24/10/3, he plays more like a seasoned veteran.
Davis has developed decent low post moves and now with his perimeter game is on the upswing — it’s only a matter of time before that extends to three-point territory. Offensively, he is un-guardable and defensively, he’s one of the better post defenders in the NBA.
Davis is not only the future of power forwards, he is the future of the NBA.
