The second generation NBA star has been one of the finds of the season so far, adapting to the fast-paced style of the Indiana Pacers extremely well. In the absence of their star center Myles Turner, he paired up with Victor Oladipo to lead the Pacers to a start that exceeded all expectations.

Sabonis has doubled his production in terms of points and rebounds this season and has emerged as one of the best 3-point shooters in the league (45.5%). His skills from beyond the arc is not a major surprise though considering his father, Arvydas Sabonis, was one of the notable 3-point shooting centers of all time.
