Chris Paul, president of the National Basketball Players' Association, has a quartet of promoted cadets to look toward for guidance following the expiration of LeBron James' tenure as his first lieutenant. The NBPA announced on Monday that Andre Iguodala, Malcolm Brogdon, Jaylen Brown, and Bismack Biyombo have been elected to sit on its Executive Committee.

Iguodala replaces James as the NBPA's First Vice President. He had previously served on the Executive Committee as a vice president. The 15-year veteran and 2014 NBA Finals MVP has been lauded far and wide for his business acumen since signing with the Golden State Warriors, taking special interest in investment opportunities in Silicon Valley. At 35, Iguodala is the oldest of the newly-elected vice presidents.

Brogdon, commonly referred to as “The President” due to his perceived fitness for political office, previously served as the Milwaukee Bucks' NBPA player representative. The 2017 Rookie of the Year has bounced back from a relatively disappointing sophomore campaign to emerge as a cog for the league-leading Bucks. He's averaging 15.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game this season, while pulling off the difficult feat of shooting at least 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from beyond the arc, and 90 percent from the free throw line.

Brown begins his tenure as an NBPA vice president after serving as the Boston Celtics' player representative since he was a rookie. The 22 year old has grown increasingly outspoken about civil rights and social injustice over the years, and gave a lecture at Harvard University last March entitled: “One and One with Jaylen Brown: Athlete and Intellectual.” He's struggled to live up to preseason expectations gleaned from a breakout performance in last year's playoffs thus far, but nevertheless looms large to Boston's hopes of making the NBA Finals.

Biyombo, 26, was elected as vice president despite possessing no prior experience with the NBPA. The backup Charlotte Hornets big man has taken on an active role in curbing the plight of those in his native country, teaming with charitable organizations to help improve the healthcare, educational opportunities, and general livelihood of the Congolese. He started the Bismack Biyombo Foundation in 2016.
