3. Chris Paul, Los Angeles Clippers
The best ball handler in the league right now, and that includes Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose. Paul does everything that’s expected of him, and more.
He’s one of the best floor generals in the league. His incredible quickness and amazing court vision are what make him the best in the business. Paul’s at his prime and is coming off a spectacular season. He averaged 16.9 PPG, 9.7 APG and 2.4 SPG.

The 6 foot point guard even averaged nearly 4 RPG last season and ranked 3rd in PER last season, with 26.43, trailing the two players who finished above him in the MVP Ballot last year, Kevin Durant and LeBron James. He led the league in steals and came second in APG, behind Rajon Rondo.
What makes Paul so special is that irrespective of the team he plays for, he makes them and everyone around him better. He’s a player who doesn’t need an MVP award to show to the world how valuable he is to his team.
