#4 Nikola Jokic (41st pick, 2014)

Brooklyn Nets v Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic has been in the NBA for all of 2 years and he's already one of the most creative players in the league. In a loaded draft class featuring the likes of Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid, Jokic was a 2nd round robbery for the Denver Nuggets. Right from his rookie year, Jokic stood out as one of the most versatile big men and was named to the All-Rookie first team.

In his second season, he improved drastically, tallying 16 points and 10 rebounds while dropping 5 dimes while playing just 28 minutes a game. He also recorded 6 triple-doubles and finished second in Most Improved Player voting. He is playing increased minutes this season with improved conditioning and stamina. Jokic is a true demigod and today's game will reward him the most.
