Top 30 NBA Players Of 2012-13

24. David West (70 points)

West had the same amount of points as Horford, and they are quite similar as players. West was awarded with another big contract with the Indiana Pacers this summer for his contributions. His grit and pitbull-like play has helped the Pacers take the next step, and he is still a great player despite the fact that he is getting older.

23. Dirk Nowitzki (73 points)

Dirk is a perfect exacmple of a player falling quite far down the list due to injury. He still played in the majority of the 2012-13 regular season, so he is qualified, but it’s understandable the German slips to 23rd on this list. Some still recognize Nowitzki as one of the best power forwards in the league, while others knocked down his points due to his injuries and his slow start once he returned to the Mavericks’ lineup.
