(7) Nikola Jokic (C, Denver Nuggets)

Nikola Jokic followed up a solid rookie season with a breakout campaign last year for the Nuggets. Jokic has quickly become a 15/10 guy down low for Denver. He should be a perfect complement alongside Millsap.

One of the most underrated parts of his game is his ability to consistently knock down shots from the line. He has shot a little over 81 percent from the line for his career. The ability to be able to leave your talented bigs on the floor late in close games without worrying about intentional fouls in quickly becoming a huge asset.

Entering just his third season in the NBA, expect Jokic to improve upon his already impressive young career.
