Top 30 NBA Players Of 2012-13

18. Dwight Howard (101 points)

It’s really no surprise that Howard slips down this low. By his standards, the season with the Los Angeles Lakers was mediocre. He was hurt and wasn’t the same defensive presence everyone is used to seeing. Needless to say, the Lakers’ abysmal season also knocked down some points in a lot of our voters’ eyes. We can only wait and see how the big man responds with his new team.

17. Kyrie Irving (122 points)

Irving is quickly becoming a fan-favorite even outside of Cleveland. His incredible ball-handling skills were on full display during the All-Star weekend when he abused Brandon Knight, and he is one of the best point guards in the league already. The question mark with Kyrie is still whether he can stay healthy.
