#8 Jusuf Nurkic

If Nurkic didn't suffer the horrific injury that kept him out for the Playoffs, perhaps the Portland Trail Blazers would've actually given a fight to the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.

After the magnificent backcourt of Lillard and McCollum, Nurkic is easily Portland's best player as he can score the ball inside with his strength and skill whilst he can be a solid rim protector. At least the team will have Hassan Whiteside who can start whilst Nurkic recovers.


#7 DeAndre Ayton

Because Ayton is on the disastrous Phoenix Suns and the rookie class of 2018 is incredible, the number 1 pick from NBA Draft 2018 hasn't received enough credit because the Bahamian big man has so much potential in this league.

His post and mid-range game is one of the best in the league whilst he is a very strong rebounder. So if he brushes up on his defense which I'm sure he will, given that he's only played one season so far in the NBA, he can become a superstar.


#6 Andre Drummond

Drummond has established himself as an all-time great in terms of rebounding during his years in the NBA whilst the other areas of his game have also improved such as his ability to shoot free throws, make plays for others, and score in the post efficiently.

He and Blake Griffin probably make up the best big-man duo in the league because they cover up each other's weaknesses and have great team chemistry.
