1) Point Guard: Jeff Teague (Atlanta Hawks)
While there may have been many options for this choice, Teague has been underrated for years. In this year's playoffs, he finally gets his chance to shine. Jeff Teague has a career average of 10 points, 4.6 assists, and 2 rebounds per game. Each and every year, Teague continues to improve. This season, Teague averaged 16 points, 6 assists, and 2.6 rebounds per game. In this year's playoffs, he is averaging 18 points per game. Standing at 6ft 2 inches tall, Teague is a very fast guard known for his good ball handling and driving. He can also be streaky, so teams must be careful of that. From a video game standpoint, he is one of my personal favorites to select in fantasy drafts. Most good point guards get selected within the first two or three rounds, but Teague manages to usually not be selected until the fourth or fifth round. Selecting him gives me the chance to get other great players without having to settle for a mediocre guard.
2) Shooting Guard: Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards)
This guy was drafted highly, but he and John Wall are really making their mark in this years's playoffs. Only 20 years old, Bradley Beal will only continue to rise to stardom. Beal's career average is 15 points per game. Just last year Beal's average was 13 points. This year, that average has gone up to 17. His playoff average for this year is 20.5 points per game. Beal is the complete guard that a team would want. He is athletic , and can shoot the three as good as anyone. The best part is that since he is so young, he will only get better. From a video game standpoint, look at him as a poor man's James Harden. He is a 2nd or 3rd tier shooting guard right now, but look for his ratings to increase in both NBA 2K 15 and NBA Live 15.
3) Small Forward: Nicholas Batum (Portland TrailBlazers)
The unsung hero for this, Nicholas Batum has come up HUGE for Portland this year. Standing at 6ft 8 inches, the 25 year old is making a name for himself in this year's playoffs. Career average is 11points, 2.7 assist, and 4.9 rebounds per game.This year , that average has increased to 13 points, 5 assist, and 7 rebounds. His playoff average is 15.6 points, 5 assist, and 6 rebounds. He has been a staple and a major 3rd option for the TrailBlazers. If they get past Houston, look for Batum to be an important factor that will help decide how far the Blazers will go. Batum is someone that you would not think to pick up in NBA 2K or Live unless you either really watch basketball , or are a TrailBlazers fan. He is a very solid pick who would bring consistency at that position.
4) Power Forward: Paul Milsap (Atlanta Hawks)
In spite of injury to frontcourt partner Al Horford, Paul Milsap has remained consistent as he wills the Hawks. Averaging 13 points per game in his career, Milsap has taken his game to another level. This year , Milsap is averaging 17 points per game to go with 8 and a half rebounds. Milsap has been the leader for this year's Atlanta playoff team. Since the playoffs have started, Milsap has averaged 21 points per game! Milsap is rated pretty high as one of the better power forwards in the league, yet he seems to always be forgotten.
5) Center: David Lee (Golden State Warriors)
One of the more forgotten players, Lee is one of the best players on this team and is showing why with the absence of Andrew Bogut. With a career average of 15 points and 9.8 rebounds, David Lee is an unsung hero with the Warriors. David Lee is solid both inside and out. He can post up, shoot the mid-range, and rebound with the best in the game. While his scoring average has dropped to 14 points, he is still producing in spite of facing Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan for an entire series. David Lee is a very solid piece to have especially around other all-star players.
