3. LaMarcus Aldridge – Portland Trailblazers
One of the biggest reason why the Portland Trailblazers posses the record they do early in the 2013-14 season is the 28-year-old from Texas.
Aldridge has been an All-Star caliber player for most of his career, but it has been taken to a new level and recognised in the past three.
With Damien Lillard in the side, Aldridge has upped his points per game to 22.1 this year and is averaging 9.6 rebounds, up a solid 1.8 on his career averages.
With sublime touch with his back to the basket or facing up, Aldridge will be one of the best at the position for years to come, whether or not get gains the team success that will take him towards the plateau of elite player.
