4. Jordan Poole

When anyone mentions the Golden State Warriors, the first thing that comes to mind is the Big 3 of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. It could be seen as a Big 4 now, with Andrew Wiggins coming into his own and making his first All-Star team this season.

But, there is another player that is flying under the radar that could become a breakout player this postseason; Jordan Poole. Poole had a rough start to his NBA career, but he has improved every season and put it all together in his third season.

Poole put up career-highs across the board with 18.5 points, four assists, and 3.4 rebounds per game.

He began the season in the starting lineup but was moved to the second unit when Thompson returned. It took a little while to get used to again, but Poole finished the season strong.
