| RANK | PLAYER | RUNDOWN | LAST |
| 1 |  |
ISAIAH THOMAS, G, SACRAMENTO: Reclaims the top spot after a 30-point, 8-assist performance in Sunday’s loss to the Wiz. He’s starting to shoot the ball a bit better, too, going 11-for-24 in the loss and raising his percentage to .445, seventh among all qualified point guards. | 2 |
| 2 |  |
LANCE STEPHENSON, G, INDIANA: Lance-a-Lot is still doing it all; he’s like a human Golden Corral. He’s averaging 14, 5, and 7 boards, and although he probably didn’t deserve an All-Star bid, he’s clearly one of the league’s up-and-comers. Still, 14 turnovers in the last three games and 4.5 per in February knock him down one slot. | 1 |
| 3 |  |
DEANDRE JORDAN, C, LA CLIPPERS: Board Jordan has grabbed double-digit rebounds in 31 straight games; he collected 20 with 10 points and four blocks in Sunday’s 123-78 humiliation of Philly. His range is about six inches, but his league-leading .656 FG shooting is sublime. | 4 |
| 4 |  |
ANDRE DRUMMOND, C, DETROIT: So, the Pistons finally put together a three-game winning streak and now they decide to fire Mo Cheeks? Wait, actually that makes perfect sense. I’m proud of you, Joe Dumars. It’s a shame this team is wasting Drummond and his 16.6 ppg and 15.4 rpg in February. | 3 |
| 5 |  |
ANTHONY DAVIS, F-C, NEW ORLEANS: Another monster week for the ‘Brow, who is transitioning nicely into the stud big man role we all knew he’d fulfill. He had 26 and 10 in Friday’s win over Minny, then 24 and 9 and 19 and 7 in losses to Atlantic Division leaders Brooklyn and Toronto. |

Isiah Thomas id drop lower…..his defense remains a liability. In fact a big liability. The team continues to lose and thats partly the reason. Only one part, but still a part. Stephenson I guess, but honestly playing next to PG helps. Miles Plumlee for sure deserves to be on there. Jordan gets lost an awful lot on defense. Makes showy blocks and then is late on a switch. So Id say Shaun Livingston belongs on there, high up too. What he has done in Brooklyn the last few weeks is amazing.
