Previous rank: 11 Davis' ranking took a slight dip, but he turned in his most complete season since 2019-20 when he helped lead the Lakers to an NBA title. Over 56 games, LA's big man averaged 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.0 blocks per game, all while shooting 56.3 percent from the field.
Previous rank: 14 Year 1 with the Cavs has been a resounding success for Mitchell, who, in addition to turning in a 71-point performance, turned in a career year from both scoring and efficiency standpoints. Most importantly, Mitchell helped lead Cleveland to its first non-LeBron James playoff appearance since 1998.
Previous rank: 17 Statistically, Lillard turned in his best individual season in 2022-23, complete with a career-high scoring average of 32.2 points per game, a franchise-record 71-point performance, and the honor of becoming Portland's all-time leading scorer. Lillard is quickly climbing back toward the top 10.
Previous rank: 9 Had it not been for an extended midseason absence, Booker would have likely remained in our top 10 — and in MVP conversations. Booker continues to perfect his craft, mastering the midrange while sharpening his playmaking tools. A signature run this postseason could propel Booker into superstardom.
Previous rank: 8 In addition to being the NBA's most electrifying player, the 23-year-old Morant is a burgeoning superstar. While leading Memphis to the West's 2 seed for a second consecutive year, Morant turned in averages of 26.2 points, a career-high 8.1 assists, and seemingly one unbelievable highlight per contest.
Previous rank: 12 Year in and year out, we've come to learn what to expect from Butler. He's one of the NBA's fiercest competitors capable of willing his team to a victory on any given night. Miami had its struggles this season, but it was no fault of Butler, who is one of nine qualified players to average 20 or more points, five or more rebounds a...
Previous rank: 18 After missing the entirety of the 2021-22 season, it would be an uphill climb for Leonard to get back to his best form. After shaking off early season rust, he's done just that. In 36 regular season games since the calendar flipped to 2023, Leonard is averaging 26.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game while s...
Previous rank: 10 At this point, LeBron landing in the top 10 is inevitable, much like his streak of consecutive double-digit scoring games. Since our last rankings were published, James has turned 38, become the NBA's all-time leading scorer, suffered — and come back from — a serious tendon injury in his right foot, and somehow is still at the top...
Previous rank: 5 In what was a rough year for his Mavericks, Doncic still finished the year averaging 32.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game, all while playing through injuries and taking on an intense workload to help keep his team afloat. With Dallas missing the postseason for the first time since Doncic's rookie year, there will be p...
Previous rank: 6 Tatum remains on the periphery of the top five but this season has been a reminder that he's on the cusp of bursting in. At 25, Tatum just became the first player in Celtics history to average 30 points per game in a season. When thinking of the names that have suited up for the storied franchise, that's a pretty big deal. Boston g...
