Tiggs lost the starting job midway through the season, but his stats held steady with his rookie campaign. Looks to be a bit of a bust at the #5 pick.

Atlanta wasn’t competitive so they decided to start the raw Kevin Davis to give him experience at the NBA level. Showed some flashes of becoming a viable player in the future.

Moore greatly improved his passing in the offseason and plays and all around solid game. Even though he doesn’t rack up defensive stats, he is a great wing defender.

Averaged a double double for the season. 6th in the league in rebounding. Showing the benefits of staying all four years in college by lighting the NBA on fire over his first two seasons. Not the most efficient offensive player, if he can raise his shooting percentage he will be a dominant big in the NBA.
