Domantas Sabonis is currently one of the best centers in the league and everyone who has been watching the Indiana Pacers play this season will understand this. Coming off the bench, he is dominating on both ends of the floor and is providing a much-needed spark for the Pacers.

Even though he was selected by the Orlando Magic in the 2016 NBA draft with the 11th overall pick, he was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder on the draft night. With the Thunder, he started in as many as 66 games but enjoyed very limited success.

Although he showed has the potential to succeed, his inexperience was clearly visible and did not have a noteworthy season.

After getting traded to the Indiana Pacers, he started performing to his true potential and shocked everyone around the league with his dominance. He quickly became one of their most important players and it clearly reflected in the stat sheet.

This season, he has improved further and is currently averaging almost close to a double-double with 14.0 points and 9.9 rebounds.
