10. Jaren Jackson Jr. (MEM): Age: 24
Jaren averages 22.2 PPG and 5.6 RPG and adds first-class defence. All-Star is identified for rim protection and still staying complete in the offensive game.
9. Tyrese Haliburton (IND) - Age: 24
One of the best passers in the league with 18.6 PPG and 9.2 APG. High IQ playmaker despite missing the All-Star.
7. Evan Mobley (CLE) - Age: 23
Mobley dazzled with 18.5 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 3.2 APG, plus elite defense. Made the All-Star team and earned a DPOY award nomination.
6. Jalen Williams (OKC) - Age: 22
Versatile and smooth, Jalen had 21.6 PPG, 5.3 RPG, and 5.1 APG. All-Star within a rising OKC squad.
5. Anthony Edwards (Min): Age: 22
A dynamic scorer and leader, Edwards logged 27.6 PPG, 5.7 RPG, and 4.5 APG. All-Star and certainly the face of the Timberwolves' rise.
4. Chet Holmgren (OKC): Age: 21
Chet Holmgren averaged 18 PPG, 15.8 RPG, and 2 APG on very high efficiency with a great rookie year, but he is not yet an All-Star.
3. Paolo Banchero (ORL) - Age: 21
Paolo Banchero led Orlando in scoring with 25.9 points per game, with 7.5 rebounds and almost five assists. Not bad numbers for someone not an All-Star.
2. Alperen Sengun (HOU) - Age: 21
He has 19.1 PPG, 10.3 RPG, and 4.9 APG, and he is a talented big player and rightfully earned an All-Star nod.
1. Victor Wembanyama (SAS) - Age: 20
Generational talent, Wemby averaged 24.3 PPG, 11 RPG, and 3.7 APG with elite defense. All-Star and already a franchise changer.
