A human highlight film, Griffin is still raw after two years in the NBA. Still without an effective mid-range game, Griffin is able to rely on his supreme power and athleticism to be a star in the league. Griffin is a player in development, but his amazing dunks often overshadow some glaring flaws in his game.
After his first healthy season, Bynum has immediately been considered the second best center in the NBA. A double-double machine, Bynum's defense is likely to improve playing under Doug Collins. Though sometimes volatile, he can do everything a center needs to on the court. His free-throw shooting gives him a favorable comparison to Dwight Howard in late game situations.
If Pierce is the heart of the Celtics and Garnett is the soul, let's call Rondo the pulse. He is the playmaker in Boston and the main reason they can still contend in the East. Last year's triple-double leader, Rondo's shooting improved in the playoffs as well. Rondo's continual improvement has made him the most well-rounded point guard this side of Chris Paul.
Entering his eighth NBA season, Williams is finally on a team with a decent supporting cast. Of the score-first point guards in the NBA, he is the best passer. While not blessed with tremendous speed or athleticism, Williams uses his power, shooting and high basketball IQ to be one the the best playmakers in the league.
Under heavy scrutiny the past two years, Westbrook is one of the league's most dynamic scorers. A pure athlete with blazing speed, he takes criticism for questionable shot selection. Coming off a good Finals, Westbrook is a definite star in the NBA. His scoring would be even higher if he didn't play on a team with some guy named Kevin Durant.
