RANK | PLAYER | RUNDOWN | LAST |
1 | LANCE STEPHENSON, G, INDIANA: Much like Andy after Michael Scott left, Stephenson has vaulted into the top position. His 24-point, 8-assist, 9 rebound performance at Milwaukee on Saturday would have made the ‘Nard Dog proud. He can go off in any statistical category, any night. | 2 | |
2 | DEANDRE JORDAN, C, L.A. CLIPPERS: Moving up like Darryl from the warehouse into the main office. His jump from seven rebounds per game last season to 14 this season has been remarkable. His line Monday at New Orleans perfectly sums up his season: 14 points on 7-of-10 shooting, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks. | 4 | |
3 | GORAN DRAGIC, G, PHOENIX: We couldn’t ignore Dragic any longer after he put up 35 points on 14-of-20 shooting in Monday’s narrow loss to Houston. He has carried the Suns to an incredible season by upping his scoring output nearly 6 points to 20.3 ppg. | – | |
4 | ISAIAH THOMAS, G, SACRAMENTO: May want to skip this edition of the rankings. First, we compared him to Pam and Angela, and now he falls three spots to No. 4. Nothing against Thomas, who went for an absurd 33 and 6 in Sunday’s win at Denver. It’s just the top three deserved some more love. | 1 | |
5 | ANDRE DRUMMOND, F-C, DETROIT: He falls into a tie for fifth after a fairly pedestrian stretch sandwiched around another double-double. ‘Dre can’t stay out of foul trouble of late, averaging 4.3 fouls in February and reaching five in five of his past seven outings. |
3 | |
5 | ANTHONY DAVIS, F-C, NEW ORLEANS: That’s right – there’s a tie for fifth and I don’t want to hear about it. Are you going to drop Big Ant out of the rankings after he puts up back-to-back 26-11 performances? Didn’t think so. He’s also made 22 of his last 24 free throws. |

DROPOUTS: None.
NEXT FIVE: Kendall Marshall, G, LA Lakers; Gerald Green, G, Phoenix; Miles Plumlee, C, Phoenix; Reggie Jackson, G, Oklahoma City; Paul George, F, Indiana.
OTHER RANKINGS: MVP | Sixth Man | Power | Rookie
