Small Forward - Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks)
A solid player on both ends of the court, Khris Middleton is amongst the most underrated player in the NBA. He saved the Milwaukee Bucks from the humiliation of getting swept by Miami in the 2020 NBA Playoffs and was on point again in their 2020-21 season opener.
Middleton almost had a triple-double against the Celtics, accounting for 27 points, 14 rebounds, and eight assists. With Andrew Wiggins guarding him on Christmas, the two-time All-Star will hope to replicate the aforementioned stats.
Power Forward - Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks)
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been the main reason behind the Milwaukee Bucks' surge in the East and he continues to improve each year. He missed a game-tying free throw on Wednesday but despite that, he went 75% from the charity stripe. The Greek Freak's jumpers looked better in general as he racked up 35 points.
It becomes increasingly difficult for the opposition to stay in the game if Giannis gets his way. There's a reason why he's the two-time reigning MVP. Yes, his shooting ability is still limited but besides that, there's little that he can't do on the court.
Center - James Wiseman (Golden State Warriors)
He's played only one competitive game in over a year, but James Wiseman looks ready for the NBA. Wiseman had 19 points on his debut for the Golden State Warriors and was their biggest positive in a blowout loss against the Brooklyn Nets.
Wiseman will still make rookie mistakes while blowing hot and cold as he gets into form. However, he's shown lots of confidence for the Warriors fans to be excited. He's aggressive on the glass, pops up easily from mid-range, and will eventually establish a pick-and-roll game with Curry to be more lethal on offense.
