#2 Anthony Davis
In a league in which centers and more traditional power forwards are clearly less valuable than 20 or even 10 years ago, Davis and DeMarcus Cousins were finding a way to make their partnership work. Cousins was the playmaking big who flirted with triple-doubles somewhat consistently and Davis was the pick-and-roll master who routinely glided to the basket and finished alley-oops. With Cousins now out for the season with a torn Achilles, we will again learn if Davis can carry a team into the playoffs and beyond.
