2. T.J. Warren, Indiana Pacers

Over the past six seasons, T.J. Warren has built a reputation for being a crafty scorer that can score in bunches. Many fans know of his breakout bubble performance this past season where he averaged 30-plus points over the first four games in the bubble.

Though his hot streak cooled off throughout his time in the bubble, he came away with a career-high 19.8 points per game with shooting splits of nearly 54 percent from the field and 40 percent from 3-point range.

With the role of Victor Oladipo slowly decreasing due to injuries, I can see Warren averaging nearly 25 points per game in an offense that is focused on getting T.J. the ball.
