5. Anthony Davis
I could very easily have put Anthony Davis as high as third on this list -- his season thus far has just been that good. He ranks fifth in both PER and EWA, posting a 27.56 mark in the latter to date. Davis' per game stats, furthermore, are nothing short of absolutely special: 28.9 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, and 1.4 steals to go along with 49.1% shooting form the floor and a surprisingly-high, given the big man's 6'10" frame (and 7'6" wingspan), 79.3% mark from the free throw line. Of course, however, the only drawback when evaluating AD's superstar-ness is his team, the Pelicans, who are unfortunately suffering another lost season at 14-22 (0.389).
