#NBArank Rising Stars: 1-5
1. Anthony Davis
New Orleans Pelicans | PF
Age: 23 | @AntDavis23
Drafted No. 1 in 2012
Stats & Info: Davis is on pace to join David Robinson and Hakeem Olajuwon as the only players in NBA history to average 20 points, 10 rebounds, two blocks and one steal per game in four of their first five seasons, and he has a chance to become the first player to average 28 PPG and 12 RPG since Shaquille O'Neal in 2000-01.
2. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Milwaukee Bucks | SF
Age: 22 | @Giannis_An34
Drafted No. 15 in 2013
Stats & Info: Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. Since blocks and steals became official stats, the only four players who have led their teams in all five categories are LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Scottie Pippen and Dave Cowens. Antetokounmpo would be the youngest in that group to do it.
3. Karl-Anthony Towns
Age: 21 | @KarlTowns
Drafted No. 1 in 2015
Stats & Info: Towns is on the verge of becoming the second player age 21 or younger to average 23 points and 11 rebounds per game, joining Shaquille O'Neal. Towns has the fourth-best offensive Real Plus-Minus of any post player in the NBA, behind DeMarcus Cousins, Nikola Jokic and Kevin Love.
4. Joel Embiid
Age: 22 | @JoelEmbiid
Drafted No. 3 in 2014
Stats & Info: The only rookie in NBA history to average more points per 36 minutes than Embiid is Wilt Chamberlain. The Sixers have the scoring margin of a 54-win team with Embiid on the floor and that of a 15-win team with him off the floor.
5. Kyrie Irving
Cleveland Cavaliers | PG
Age: 24 | @KyrieIrving
Drafted No. 1 in 2011
Stats & Info: Since the start of the past season, including the regular season and playoffs, nearly 50 players have attempted at least 15 shots in the final minute of one-possession games. Irving is the only one who has made more than half of his attempts (10-for-19).
