16. Tracy McGrady. A scorer that is very athletic. Can be very clutch. And as 20 wins in a row can show you, and with many of those without Yao Ming, he CAN lead a team. Who thought the Houston Rockets would be in 3rd place in the Western Conference at this stage of the season. Well, Tracy McGrady thought so, and is proving this with his determination every game.
15. Baron Davis. Extremely strong point guard. Great leader and delivers in the clutch. And you better watch out if these Golden State Warriors make the playoffs. Remember last year!? Baron Davis will lead this team with emotion, scoring, and thunderous dunks. I think Andre Kirilenko is still laid out on the floor from last year's Dunk of The Year.
14. Dirk Nowitzki. A big guy who can play outside and inside. Can shoot and post up. A difficult guy to match up with. If he can get over the heartbreak of losing the Finals TWO years ago, he may be one of the most formidable forwards in the game. His skill is unquestioned. Only his mind. His assists, blocks, and defensive rebounds are up this year. Good for Avery Johnson! He took an offensive juggernaut and turned him into an all-round player.
13. Carmelo Anthony. A absolute superstar player. He can score in multiple ways. However, his defense is questionable. I'm not sure if AI's comments on toughness and defense several weeks ago helped or hindered the Nugget's run, but Carmelo sure took notice. His rebounding is significantly higher this year, and especially this past month. And I suppose you can't complain about this 24.4ppg and silky smooth approach to every shot, alley-oop, and behind the back pass.
