This list isn’t in any order and will feature three NBA players who have either had a bounce back year or are looking to build off of their previous season. These players aren’t averaging the most points,rebounds or assists but their overall impact and play on the court will definitely be featured on this list.
First we’ll start with Ja Morant who has to be on his list as he’s leading the league with 35.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7 assists a game. Currently the Grizzlies are 3-1 on season and have the second best record in the western conference. This season Ja has to improve his defense and stay healthy. If he could do those two things then the Grizzlies can be a very good team this year and definitely be in the mix to win the championship as Ja last season had a MVP caliber season, he is looking to build off of that and become a better player on and off the court.
With the best record in the NBA, Damian Lillard has to be on his list as he’s averaging 33.3 points. With 5.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists a game, Lillard and the Blazers were considered to be a borderline playoff team this season and have quickly proved the media and fans wrong as they are 4-0 and Lillard looks to be back to his normal self after coming off a down year caused by a major leg injury which he sustained early last season.
This may be a shocking one, but James Harden should be on the list due to the fact that he’s really had a bounce back season as the last two years he looked to be on the decline. This off-season Harden has worked really hard to get back into shape and get back to his former MVP self, Harden is averaging 26.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 9.8 assists on a loaded Philadelphia 76ers team that most consider are in contention to be a championship contender this year.
