The 6’11 phenom has been on a roll this season. From averaging 6.8 ppg and 4.4 rpg as a rookie, he has upped his numbers in his sophomore years and is now averaging 11.7 ppg and 6.1 rpg. Touted as the next big superstar, It would be interesting to see how he will fully utilize his length in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest 2015.
Victor Oladipo
The sophomore guard from the Orlando Magic will showcase his elite athleticism that he is most known for even when he was still playing for the Indiana Hoosiers.
Mason Plumlee
