#19: Hassan Whiteside, Miami Heat
Height: 7’0”
Position: Center
Bottom line: Whiteside is a sensational rebounder, with a rim-protecting capacity which is completely inspiring. His plays rally the other players on his Miami Heat team, bringing plenty of motivation during the most heated of games.
Despite excelling at lob dunks, Whiteside’s offense still needs a lot of work. If he wants to be a more well-rounded player, he will need to work on his aggression. Throughout the 2018 – 2019 season, he aggregated 12.5 rebounds and 12.7 points, alongside 2.5 blocks.

#20: Nikola Vucevic, Orlando Magic
Height: 7’0”
Position: Center
Bottom line: It is a great tragedy that Vucevic is so underappreciated as a league center. Out of all the players on this list, Nikola might be the most commendable Dark Horse. He can easily take down other big men with his post flare and rebounding capacity. He is a titan that stands head and shoulders above much of his competition.
Throughout the 2018 – 2019 season, Vucevic aggregated 1.2 blocks, 12.0 rebounds, and 20.2 points on average with each game.
