Vujacic is a good shooter, and is also an important piece for the Laker's deep bench. He has scored double figures off the bench in his last five games, including 12 against the Miami Heat last night.
- Jamario Moon, Toronto Raptors (Years Pro: Rookie)
Moon has finally found his home in the NBA. He has been everywhere from the CBA to the Harlem Globetrotters to the D-League, and is showing that hard work does pay off.
Because of his length and athleticism, he is a good defender. Still, his shot selection is sometimes questionable.
- Brandon Bass, Dallas Mavericks (Years Pro: 2)
Bass didn't get the chance to shine in New Orleans—he was one offseason acquisition that went unnoticed.
This season he has been just the spark down low that the Mavericks have been looking for off their bench. Newly acquired Jason Kidd will help Bass a lot down the line.
7.9 PPG isn't an eye-popping stat—but watching him, you can see that he plays a vital role for the Mavericks' frontcourt.
- Andrew Bynum, Los Angeles Lakers (Years Pro: 2)
The fact that Bynum has missed the last month or so due to injury is the only reason he is on the third team. Bynum was an original first teamer, but the kneecap injury ruined those chances.
His team is still playing very well without him because of the Pau Gasol trade, but once he returns the Lakers will be that much scarier.
He must return before playoff time in order to acclimate to the new look of the Lakers' frontcourt.
Before the injury, Bynum was averaging 13 points and 10 rebounds per game.
