#5 LaMarcus Aldridge
Despite turning 34, LaMarcus Aldridge remains one of the best big men scorers out there and is keeping the Spurs going as a Playoff team.
They took the second seed Denver Nuggets to seven games a couple of months ago which is very impressive, given the fact that many saw Denver as heavy favourites.

With the development of San Antonio's young guards, Aldridge, DeRozan and Gay can lead the team to the Playoffs once again next season.
#4 Draymond Green
Draymond Green has been the leader of the Warriors who have made the NBA finals for the last five years and won three championships. There is no player who competes harder in every aspect of the game like Green and this sets him apart from others.
He is a fantastic defender, rebounder, passer and can attack the rim to become a scorer many times. But with KD and Iguodala leaving along with Thompson's injury, it looks like it's finally too much to ask from Green and Curry to lead the Warriors to another NBA Finals.
#3 Blake Griffin
Despite having lost a bit of his athletic ability as he has aged and gone through a few injuries, Griffin has become a much better player because his shooting, scoring, passing and rebounding skills remain right up there with the best.
He single-handedly carried the Pistons to a Playoff place last year with averages of 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game. So with more help in Detroit, Griffin can achieve much more success in the Eastern Conference.
