Chances are high you didn’t catch many Denver Nuggets games this past season. Which is a shame because that means you missed seeing the NBA’s ultimate thrill ride, Will Barton, in action. The self-proclaimed “People’s Champ” (Denver & Portland embraced it and so should we), Barton is an excellent playmaker who has a knack for making highlight worthy plays night in and night out. His pre and post games outfits are reason alone for your favorite team to sign Barton.
9. Zach Lavine (6’5, 189lbs, Shooting Guard)
School: University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
NBA Experience: 4 years

Career Highlights and Trivial Tidbits
- Two-time NBA Slam Dunk Champion (2015-16)
- 2014-15 All-Rookie Team selection
- 2016 NBA Rising Stars Challenge MVP
- One half of The NBA Bounce Brothers (Andrew Wiggins)
Sky’s the limit for Zach LaVine (no seriously, have you seen this man dunk). One of the NBA’s brightest stars, LaVine spent this past season with the Chicago Bulls. Recovering from a torn ACL, his focus this past season was just to get used to the NBA court again. Just 22-years old and with a full off-season (not spent rehabbing) under his belt, wherever LaVine signs that team should expect the young highflier to show the league was so many pegged him as a future All-Star prior to his injury.
