5. Josh Hart (Los Angeles Lakers):
Josh Hart turned in a great performance at the summer league in Vegas, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to another final in the competition, their 2nd one in a row. He has been averaging 23.3 points per game and has been guarding the toughest assignment on defense, running the team like a pro. He showed he could do this with the Lakers last season, but asked to take on more of a scoring role in Vegas and boy did he step up.
He is averaging almost 23 PPG and has taken on the most important defensive assignment in every game the Lakers have played. The Lakers had not only won all their games up to the finals, but they've also only dropped three of their 20 quarters so far. Hart has been disruptive on defense while carrying the load on offense for the most dominant team.
