3. Nikola Vucevic

Nikola Vucevic was drafted 16th by the Philidelphia 76ers in 2011.

Through his seven seasons, he spent one with the 76ers before being traded to the Magic in 2012 where he has become a cornerstone for the Orlando Magic.

In Philadelphia, Vucecic had a poor first year season, scoring 5.5 points and grabbing 4.8 rebounds per game. After his rookie year the 76ers, he was moved in a four-team trade involving Andrew Bynum, Arron Afflalo, Andre Iguodala and Dwight Howard.

After the trade Vucevic found his own in Orlando. Since the trade, he has become one of the most consistent centers in the NBA. Across six seasons, Nik has averaged 16 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1 block per game and has started in all but 25 games. That is 380 starts and 31.6 minutes played per game. Across his career, he is averaging 14.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists.

Nikola Vucevic has become a great replacement for Dwight Howard. Since becoming the main guy on his team, Nikola has made his mark as a top center in the Eastern Conference. He is nearly averaging 20 and 10 as a starter for Orlando.

If his teams were a little better, and he had a few more playoff appearances, he could be higher up on the list, but for now, he is the third best player selected 16th overall.
