#4 Trae Young

Trae Young is shooting almost 50% from downtown in the games played this season so far, carrying forward from where he left last year. His scoring average of 26.8 points is among the top 10 in the league right now, while he provides another 7.3 assists and 5 rebounds per game to go along with it. He went down with an ankle injury that is expected to keep him out of action for at least a couple of weeks, putting a hold on one of the best starts to a season any player could ever hope for.

Young's rise to glory was a slow and patient process but at the moment, he looks comfortable as ever in the spotlight. Standing at 6-foot-1, he has been leading the charge for the Atlanta Hawks franchise on offense ever since the day he was drafted.


#5 Brandon Ingram

One of the most talented 22-year-olds across the league.

Brandon Ingram was shipped in a package to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Anthony Davis, but it seems like that would have been the best thing to happen from Ingram's individual standpoint.

He is evolving as a lethal scorer in his newest team, as he averages a career-high 23.5 points per game along the 6 matchups he has played in so far. Moreover, his 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game are also personal career-bests, which depict his growth as an all round player this early in the season.

His ability to get to his spot and shoot over 51% from the field has resulted in a noticeable beginning to his 2018-19 campaign.
