Davis is having his best season as a pro. He is currently averaging 24 points per game 10 rebounds per game and 3 blocks per game. He might even lead the Pelicans to the playoffs.

Chris Paul has been overshadowed by the likes of Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry. Paul is currently averaging 19 points per game on 48 FG% and he is also averaging 10 assists per game. He has also been very efficient also, he leads the NBA in AST/TO ratio. Despite his All Star teammate Blake Griffin missing 15 games and defending 6th man of the year winner Jamal Crawford missing 18 games, Chris Paul has lead the Clippers to another 50+ win season.
