2) Amen Thompson, Houston Rockets
Amen Thompson has visibly taken a step this year for the Houston Rockets averaging 13.8 points, eight rebounds and 3.3 assists on the season. The second-year player's impressive play earned him a spot in the starting lineup in early January, and since then, he's taken his game to another level, putting together some of the best games of his career. Assuming he continues to develop his game, an All-Star nod seems to be in the cards for Thompson.
