#4 Pascal Siakam
The Most Improved Player of the Year from last season is arguably the most improved this year as well. That's how terrific Pascal Siakam's season has been.
Averaging 23.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game while shooting 36.2% from the range, the forward is guiding the Toronto Raptors to another great regular season, with the potential to make a deep run in the playoffs. With Kawhi Leonard now in LA, Siakam is the main man for the Raptors.

#5 Trae Young
Atlanta Hawk's superstar Trae Young deservedly makes the cut for the All-Star Game. The guard is averaging 29.7 points and 9.2 assists per game while shooting nearly 37% from the 3-point range.
Young is also proving to be a clutch performer as he continues to drain baskets from range. With such a lethal and fast-paced game, Young has always been destined to be an all-star - and now he is one.
#6 Donovan Mitchell
Donovan Mitchell is having an outstanding third year for the Utah Jazz. The guard is averaging 24.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists this campaign while shooting 36.3% from range and nearly 46% from the field.
With Mitchell leading the pack, the Jazz have caused quite a few upsets and will be looking to make a deep run in the playoffs.
Since nearly losing out to Ben Simmons for the Rookie of the Year in 2018, Mitchell hasn't looked back. Yet to experience a non-playoff season, the expectations from the guard are high among the basketball fraternity - which speaks volumes of a guy who's only 23 and in his third season.
Forming a formidable partnership with Rudy Gobert, Mitchell has led the Jazz to a 36-18 record and fourth place standing in the Western Conference.
#7 Rudy Gobert
Arguably the Defensive Player of the Year once again, Rudy Gobert is one of the best centers in the league. His defensive prowess continues to be unmatched by any opposition center.
Averaging 15.6 points and 14.6 rebounds per game this campaign while shooting nearly 69% from the field, Gobert along with Donovan Mitchell are the two pillars that the Jazz are building on.
Gobert is so good defensively that the Jazz have designed their entire defensive schemes around the french big man, using his length to terrorize the opposition's offensive players.
