#5 Nikola Jokic - Denver Nuggets
Last season, the Nuggets had to choose between two European young big men in Nikola Jokic and Jusuf Nurkic as their primary big man. And by the looks of it, the team has made the right choice in going with the former.
Jokic like many of his European predecessors is a gifted passer. He can post-up and score, he can knock down the mid-range jumper, his vision in the post is insane, his passes are seen on many highlight reels.

The team's trust in him led to a late resurgence last season, which had him sneaking in on Giannis Antetokounmpo for the Most Improved Player of the Award. Nonetheless, this season will be no different as so much of what the Denver Nuggets plan is based on the many talents of Nikola Jokic.
