10 fastest players in the NBA right now

#4 Zach LaVine

Watching Zach LaVine sprint reminds you of a gazelle running in the vast savannas of Africa. Gifted with long legs and a slender frame, LaVine's athleticism is off the charts. Additionally, LaVine is adept at attacking the rim at will, something that very few players in the league are capable of doing. It's sometimes ridiculous how easily LaVine drives and dunks.

LaVine spent one season at UCLA before getting drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2015 NBA Draft. After spending his developmental years in Minnesota, LaVine was traded to the Chicago Bulls where he thrived as the main scorer for his team. Last season, he had his break out season as he averaged 23.7 points, 4.5 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game (all career highs).

#3 John Wall

When he turns on the jets, only a few players in the league can catch up. One of the most electrifying guards in the league, John Wall is a pass-first point guard in a combo guard's body. At 6'4 with a jaw-dropping wingspan of 6'9, the 28-year-old is one of the best two-way guards in the league, often locking down the opposition's best scorer.

With a career average of 9.2 assists per game, Wall trails only Chris Paul (9.7 assists per game) in the active NBA players list. He's also a skilled scorer, often relying on his quickness to initiate transition opportunities for his team while also being able to drive to the rim himself. Despite being ball-dominant as the team's primary ball handler, Wall has a solid assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.3. Hence, for these reasons, we have placed John Wall in the third position.
