1. Skal Labissiere

The Haitian Sensation comes in at #1! Among all of the players I have listed, Skal is the one that garners the most excitement heading into next season.

Did I mention the Cousins trade impacted many players on the roster? Skal is one of those players. Cousins’ departure paved the way for Skal and he came along fantastically (if you watched, you would know). How could you not forget the 32 point, 11 rebound performance he had against the Suns? He even hit a three-pointer that had Grant Napier going crazy! He also was close to a triple-double (10 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists) and had a 25 point performance against the Rockets.

I cannot tell you how fun it is to watch Skal play. Going forward, Skal at power forward and Cauley-Stein at center should definitely be a fun pair to witness.

Do you agree with my list? If not, come up with your own top five and let’s wait until next season!
