NBA Players to Watch for in the Postseason

You know about LeBron, Greek Freak, James Harden, Steph Curry, KD, and Joel Embiid just to name a few. Even non-NBA fans have an idea of who these people are. But do you know who the following players are? These players have vital roles in the success of their teams and are a part of makes the team's engine move. Here's who you need to know about come playoff time.

• Lou Williams, Los Angeles Clippers: The reigning Sixth Man of the Year has been a vital piece on the Clippers. His outside shot is deadly when it falls and he's a force going to the left while creating his own shot. Williams is averaging 20.3 PPG and 5.3 APG this season.
• Ersan Ilyasova, Milwaukee Bucks: Turkish Thunder plays a key role for Milwaukee. Aside from pulling down the occassional rebound, Ilyasova helps spread the floor out for the Bucks to operate. He's also a more efficient shooter than he was in his career; he's shooting 45% from the field (44.3% is his career percentage) and is shooting 37.9% from beyond the arc (36.6% is his career three-point percentage).
• Clint Capela, Houston Rockets: A vastly underrated player, Capela is the big man on the Rockets. He has significant interior presence and is the main attacker on the boards for Houston. He's also good at contesting shots and finishing plays.
• J.J. Redick, Philadelphia 76ers: Philly's go-to guy for a three-point shot, Redick has spent his career hitting the three-ball. He's scoring 17.6 PPG this season, nearly five points higher than his career average.
• Dennis Schroder, Oklahoma City Thunder: Originally an Atlanta Hawk, Schroder has been a handy scorer for Oklahoma City. Schroder's efficient scoring has helped Oklahoma City when either Russell Westbrook or Paul George (sometimes both) are either off or not having a good night.
  
• Kevon Looney, Golden State Warriors: A pet project for the Warriors, Looney has quietly helped Golden State in a couple games. Armed with great lateral mobility and toughness on the boards, Looney has proven to be a nice bench player for the Warriors. Looney's averaging 5.4 RPG this season for the Warriors.
