Each of these teams has an exciting young player waiting to burst onto the court and make a name for themselves.

The Heat drafted Justise Winslow No. 10 overall from Duke in this past summer’s draft, and many believe, including myself, he may be one of the best to come out of this class. He really came on during the 2015 NCAA Tournament, contributing just as much, if not more than the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft Jahlil Okafor right up through to the end in their championship win over Wisconsin.

Last year, Milwaukee Bucks fans got just a slight taste of what we hope is to come from the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft in Jabari Parker too.

He only played in 25 NBA games before tearing his ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament), in Phoenix. In those 25 games, however, he did average 12.3 ppg. while shooting 49.3 percent from the field.
