3. John Collins (Atlanta Hawks):

John Collins was always touted to be a great player, a stretch 4, who could also play at the 5 if need be. He made NBA All-Rookie second team and averaged 10.5 points and 7.3 rebounds a game shooting 57.6% last season. However, after Las Vegas and Salt Lake, he has shown the potential to be a future star, his game is improving.

He was averaging 24 points and 8 boards a game in Vegas, playing good defense in the paint, but more importantly, he has shown improved three-point stroke and handles.

Collins was more of a rebounder and interior presence for the Hawks as a rookie, but in Vegas, he went after his offense aggressively and showed that he has the chops to score if called upon. He even knocked down 5 of 10 shots from beyond the arc. This ability could give him an entirely new dimension as a floor-spacer, changing the Hawks' look completely.
