Rudy Gobert (2013-2020)
The Stifle Tower is the best defensive player in the league and, with consecutive Defensive Player of the Year awards, has been recognized as exactly that. As much credit as Mitchell, Conley, Bogdanovic, and Ingles will get on the Jazz for the next few seasons; it’s Rudy Gobert who makes them contenders in the West because he turns Utah into his own best defensive team in the league.

Nikola Jokic(2015-2020)
Right now, “The Joker” has already established itself as the best passing big man in the league and maybe also in NBA history. He has also shown that he can get 30 or even 40+ when needed, despite averaging just over 20 points per game, which he showed against the Spurs this past postseason. The all-around skill of Nikola Jokic is simply incredible, as he can create 2 or 3 points in so many different ways for his team.
