Victor Oladipo - Indiana Pacers

John Wall - Washington Wizards

Victor Oladipo isn't elite yet, thus not threatening for a starting spot but he is certainly the first guard on the reserves list. He is the leading candidate right now for the Most Improved Player Award, with averages of 24.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.8 assists, 1.0 blocks on 48.5% shooting from the field and 42.3% from beyond the arc - all except assists are CAREER-HIGHS.

John Wall has missed 11 of the team's 34 games but he's way too valuable to not be put on this list. The team limped to a 5-6 record in his absence and has found their way once again since he returned. In his 23 games played, he's averaging 18.6 points, 8.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds. Definitely below his the level that his expected of him but this too keeps among the league's superstars when it comes to the guards.
