#1 Ben Simmons

Brooklyn Nets v Boston Celtics - Game One Arguably the best defensive player in the league when healthy, stands to gain the most from Kevin Durant's departure.

#2 Cam Thomas

In the six regular-season games that Warren played, he averaged 31 points on better than 57% shooting and over 52% from distance.
