Julius Randle performs multiple roles for the Knicks and surely is having an all-star type of season. He leads the Knicks in PPG, RPG, and APG showcasing how much the Knicks depend upon him to keep their engines going.

RJ Barrett
PPG: 16.7

RJ is a superb talent at the age of 20 and has a long time to hone up his skills. He has been stellar at the professional level and has shown that he belongs to the upper crop of the young talent in the League.

Al Horford
PPG: 14.3
RPG: 6.8
APG: 3.4

Horford has used his experience and talent to help the Thunder become a challenging team. He is the second option on the offensive end and has produced decently throughout the season.

PPG: 11.9
RPG: 7.5
TPG: 1.8
PFP: 26
Bazley has given the Thunder a promising outlook at the Forward position. He is in a position to build up a career with a rebuilding franchise and he has taken advantage of the situation so far. He is averaging 12.4 PPG and 9.2 RPG since the last 5 games.

Alec Burks: PPG: 11.3 RPG: 4.3 PFP: 20
