Granger has been the face of the Pacers for a few years now. Since his All-Star season in 2009, Indiana has put more talent around Granger and that showed last year. A reliable scorer and defender, he consistently produces and is the de facto leader of the Pacers.
Now a Denver Nugget, Iguodala is one of the most complete players in the NBA. An athletic defender who scores, rebounds, and assists, he should fit in perfectly in Denver. An Olympian this summer, Iguodala will be counted on to defend the elite scorers in the West and lift the Nuggets into contention.
A supreme athlete, Gay can do it all for the Grizzlies. After an early playoff exit, Gay starts this season with a chip on his shoulder. He is the best player in the NBA to never make an Olympic or All-Star roster. If the Grizzlies can stay competitive in the West, Gay will reap the rewards and recognition.
The reigning Sixth Man of the Year, Harden's scoring would be much higher if he played on a different team. A crafty scorer and gifted slasher, Harden is also an underrated passer. Just 23 years old, expect Harden to keep improving after tasting the Finals for the first time last year. If the Thunder allow him to test free agency, Harden and his beard will be in for a huge pay day.
The forgotten member of Miami's big three, Bosh had a nice NBA Finals after missing a chunk of the playoffs. A 7-time All-Star, Bosh's defense has improved since joining the Heat. While struggling sometimes, it's still impressive that he has been able to put up big numbers while playing with James and Wade. Now a champion, Bosh's confidence will be higher than ever heading into the season.
