Chris Paul
Biggest Strength: Passing
Chris Paul has always offered reliable scoring production, although his offensive game has always been built around his passing ability. The OKC star has led the league in assists four times during his illustrious career, and no player takes greater pride in their ability to find teammates with the perfect pass.

Biggest Weakness: Injuries
Despite his six-foot frame - Paul is widely regarded as a rare player with no real weakness. Nevertheless, injuries have become a problem for the 10x All-Star over the past four seasons - and his health will be key to OKC's postseason prospects.
Nikola Jokic
Biggest Strength: Scoring
After averaging 10 points per game in his rookie season, Jokic has increased his tally with each passing season. Over 55 appearances this campaign, the Serbian is managing 20.6 points, while shooting 51.8 percent from the floor. He can be virtually unplayable in the post, and with his three-point shot also improving - Jokic will be among the NBA's best bigs for much of the next decade.
Biggest Weakness: Defensive focus
Jokic has all the tools to be an elite defender, although the 25-year-old suffers from lapses of focus. This makes Jokic exploitable on the defensive end, and Denver fans have grown accustomed to seeing opposing players breeze past a tired Jokic late in games.
Ben Simmons
Biggest Strength: Playmaking
Ben Simmons is blessed with a high basketball I.Q, and the Sixers star has quickly developed into one of the NBA's best playmakers. Over his first three seasons in the league, Simmons has averaged 8.0 assists per game - and while there is plenty of criticism regarding his shooting - there is no questioning his status as an elite distributor.
Biggest Weakness: Lack of jump shot
Heading into the season, there were reports that Simmons' jump shot was on the mend. However, he is still struggling to score from outside the paint, and it is questionable at this point if he will ever develop into any sort of three-point threat.
