10. Jalen Green, Houston Rockets

Jalen Green’s talent is undeniable and it’s the biggest reason why I slotted him at No. 10 on this list. And Green really came on during the latter portion of the season. During the month of March, he averaged 21 points on 48 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent shooting from 3-point range.

He followed that up with an excellent month of April, he averaged 29 points and five rebounds per game on 50 percent shooting from the field and 39 percent shooting from 3-point range. Green can score from anywhere on the floor and proved that time and time again during his rookie season.

Green will be better this season and will continue to grow as an NBA player as he gains more experience and comfort in his role with the Houston Rockets. There’s no ceiling on the player that Green can be once he enters his prime.
