-players who are expected to breakout-

Gerald Wallace
Eddy Curry
All Recent Draft picks who haven't already

I also like John Solomons(sp?) from the Sixers
Jarvis Hayes too.

[Laker Freak]

Eddie House, He is the most pure scorer on the Bobcats and should start.

My pick is Gordan Giricek. He will be an important offensive player for Utah next year and he'll make an All-Defensive team.

If that happens, I'll put "ArtestFan is my daddy" in my sig and keep if there forever. Giricek will never, ever, make an All-Defensive team. When he was in Orlando, teams used to just throw the ball to whoever Giri was guarding and let them go to town. And when Tmac or someone switched over to that guy, then they would just give their other player the ball. He is just not a good defender, let alone All-Defensive defender.

My guy is Samuel Dalembert. He averaged something like 12 points, 12.5 boards, and almost 4.5 blocks(!) and a steal in april (albeit with alot of minutes, something like 40).

Next season is a contract season for him, so he should be overachieving as well.

I'll take Dwight Howard. Mainly because it seems like everyone has written him off as someone who isn't going to do anything next year and he is rarely ever even talked about unless it is someone posting that they think he is going to be a bust.

Mickael Pietrus will have a breakout year b/c the Warrior really like him and Jason Richardson said that he would leave Golden State in the wake of Gilbert Arenas leaving for Washington. Also, look for Mike Dunleavy, Jr. to do some big things for the Warriors as well.

statistically: Gerald Wallace

as far as actual improvement

Jarvis Hayes
Devin Brown
Nikoloz Tskitishvili

Kareem Rush could start for alot of teams. He could be a breakout player.

Definetly agree with these two, but the thing with Rush is, though he could be a huge breakout player, I don't think it will be with LA. He is playing behind Kobe, and it looks as though Butler will take up most of the backup SG/SF minutes.

As for my picks.

Hedo Turkoglu - He will get a lot of minutes in Orlando, and once he improves his consistency he will be dangerous. Fits in with Orlandos shooting running style nicely.

Mike Sweetney - People forget how good he was in college, and was picked at #8 for a good reason. He should eventually win the starting job this year, and when he played last year he was a flat out beast.

Gerald Wallace - Obvious pick. He will get all the shots and time in the world, and tore up the summer league. With an improved shot, and that atheltic ability on both ends of the floor, he will really come into his own.

[A.W.#8]

Boris Diaw. Reminds me of Scottie Pippen.
