11. Jamal Murray, Gary Harris – Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets are a team that is on the rise. They might not made the playoffs with this core yet, but they’ve been close. This past season, they fell one game away from making the postseason and had it not been for an injury to Paul Millsap they probably would’ve made it.

Jamal Murray and Gary Harris are two of the most underrated players in the league, too. They are both getting better by every passing year and are coming off their best years to date. Entering this season, it’s hard to not expect even more.

These are two players that likely won’t make headlines, but both will make their presence felt during the game.
