Keon Ellis, Julian Strawther, & Tim Legler’s NBA Rising Role Players

Underrated NBA Role Players to Watch This Season 

NBA analysts Tim Legler and Adam Mares break down the second half of their list of under-the-radar role players who could make a major impact this season. 

Julian Strawther (Denver Nuggets): With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope gone, Strawther is set to see more minutes. Can he boost the Nuggets’ three-point shooting? 

Keon Ellis (Sacramento Kings): Ellis might be the defensive spark the Kings need to unlock their best lineup featuring Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan, De’Aaron Fox, and Keegan Murray. 

Scotty Pippen Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies): Can he replicate last year’s performance and contribute to a fully healthy Grizzlies squad? 

Brandin Podziemski (Golden State Warriors): Now sharing the backcourt with Steph Curry, can Podziemski help restore the Warriors' three-point dominance from the Splash Brother era?
