Biggest Strength: Scoring

Brandon Ingram has finally caught fire following his offseason move to the Pelicans, and the 22-year-old has further improved his work on the offensive end. Equipped with a well-rounded arsenal of offensive moves, Ingram is currently averaging 24.9 points while shooting an impressive 47.3 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range.

Biggest Weakness: Defensive focus

Ingram possesses a 7-foot-3 wingspan and has the potential to be an elite defender. Nevertheless, while he is averaging a solid number of rebounds - Ingram all too often fails to make stops on the defensive end, and he still has some ways to go to become one of the best two-way players in the league.


Donovan Mitchell

Biggest Strength: Athleticism

Donovan Mitchell is becoming an increasingly well-rounded guard - and much of his game relies on his athleticism. Mitchell's speed allows him to blast by defenders to get easy points - and he has also used his athleticism and 6-foot-10 wingspan to his advantage on the defensive end following a shaky rookie year.

Biggest Weakness: Shot Selection

The Jazz star is currently averaging 24.3 points on 45.7 percent shooting from the floor - which are excellent numbers for a third-year guard. However, Mitchell remains prone to taking contested shots - and needs to learn to look for teammates rather than forcing difficult looks.


Jimmy Butler

Biggest Strength: Lockdown defense

Jimmy Butler has long been among the NBA's best defenders - and there are few better lockdown stars in the league. Butler thrives most when guarding the opposing team's best offensive player, and thanks to his ability to protect both the rim and the perimeter, Butler usually comes out on top.

Biggest Weakness: Three-point shooting

An incredibly well-rounded player at both ends of the court, Butler's only real weakness has been his three-point shooting. The 30-year-old is a career 33.4 percent shooter from beyond the arc - although that tally has slipped to 24.8% this year.
