There's a clockwork regularity to some of the NBA's best action, with new entries being made in year-to-year individual and team rivalries.
But some of the league's best drama stems from its surprises. Not all of them are good, but the ones that are can birth new contenders and stars right before our eyes.
In the spirit of the holiday season, we'll embrace the joy and focus solely on the most pleasant surprises of the 2015-16 campaign's early portion (you're welcome, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers). To tighten the focus, we're restricting our list to individuals, highlighting five surprisingly fast starters, plus a bonus group of head-turners.
Qualifying for the list is simple: doing the unexpected. For many, that means simply playing above the levels they've previously reached. For one, it's reopening a door to greatness that many had presumed to be permanently closed.
Regardless of the reason, all are excellent reminders that the consistent world of big league ball still has some unpredictability to it.
