Predictions for breakout 2013-14 season

[GarnettFan4Life]

Who do you think will have a breakout upcoming season?

Traded to a new team and looks like a better situation?

Anyone you seen have a good showing in summer league?

Someone who was playing good at end of last season?

Who?

I think Eric Gordon will have a breakout season with the Pelicans and hopefully Greg Oden can contribute wherever he end ups

As for the younger players, Leonard and Barnes will play vital roles in their teams playoff runs (even more vital than last season! ) and Tobias Harris will post up some big numbers!

In no particular order:

Jordan Crawford - Little bit of a bias choice but he has plenty of potential and will get more playing time this season after 'Jet' leaving.

Tobias Harris - Averaged 23.4 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 3.4 APG in last 5 games last season!

John Wall - Plenty of potential and Washington must see something big in him with his new 5 year $80 mil contract.

DeMarcus Cousins - Massive potential, hopefully he can get over his attitude problems for his sake and Sacremento's sake!

Jeremy Lamb - Definetely proved himself in the Summer League. With Kevin Martin gone he should get some extra PT!

Derrick Favours - With Big Al and Millsap gone, he and Enes Kanter will be expected to take over there starting roles and prove themselves as starting bigmen!

Tobias Harris, John Wall, Marshon Brooks, John Henson

 

[lilreddevil]

Oh and Moe Harkless - no bias

 

[Harsha_12]

Gordon Hayward.

You heard it here 1st

Watching:


Michael Carter-Williams - 76ers


Kelly Olynyk - Celtics (came out that he has plantar fasciitis so if they are "tanking" and give rookies plenty of minutes I hope that it doesn't get too bad and hinder a long career) Led the NCAA last season in PER.


Andrei Kirilenko - Nets - looks like a very comfortable situation there for him in Brooklyn, a great fit


Jimmy Butler - Bulls - playing great at end of last season, tenacious player


Isaiah Thomas - Kings - little man, great scoring ability


Kent Bazemore - Warriors - interests me what motivates players to succeed, seen he has his ESPN NBA Rank (#499 I think it was) sewn into the insides of his shoes. Little stuff like this makes for great stories if a player has a bust out game/season


Jeremy Lin - Rockets - back from injury, teaming up with Dwight, Harden, Parsons - can't wait to see some Houston games.


John Wall - got his big contract - now what?


Jennings and Smith in Detroit - could create some great opportunities for Andre Drummond.


Austin Rivers/Anthony Davis - Pelicans - interested to see how Tyreke fits in, plus they have some scrappy role guys like Amundson, Anderson, Stiemsma etc


Harrison Barnes - Warriors - guy is a beast.


Greg Oden - this guy deserves some good times

Kyrie - Cavs - love the whole Uncle Drew persona. Hope he gets MVP


Derrick Williams/Rubio/Pekovic - Timberwolves


Kevin Garnett - OBVIOUSLY!



Ok! Yes, I'm pumped about the whole league!!

 

[muzikandme]

I'm gunna stick with a big man theme and I think vucevic will come along nicely and put in a good year following on from last season and so will valanciunas with the raptors seen as he's the only REAL big man on that team

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Man, this is a Tobias Harris love-fest huh

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Gordon Hayward.

TT no further improvement?

 

[Harsha_12]

He may improve but depends what Mike Brown does with the minutes this year, because of the loaded front court

Tyreke, Gordon, Rivers, Jrue, Roger Mason Jr, Morrow - decent on paper at the G positions!

 

[muzikandme]

I'm just going to go ahead and say the whole Orlando magic team, from 1-15!! Hell even their coaching staff, probably the ball boy too will have a break out season, they have some good young talent just sitting there!!!

I forgot about Bynum going to the Cavs! Hmmm, another interesting situation to watch!

Like Blowout I think this forum also gets a hard-on every time Tobias Harris is mentioned

Some promising guys but man that'd be a hard team to sell season tickets for!

I think in a few years, they could be the new OKC and have sold-out games all the time! Same formula, great drafting/young guys + solid trades from Hennigan!

Hell yeah it would, they must be parading harris around for about 22 hours a day in Orlando trying to drum up some fans because he's clearly their poster boy

Mayo's a nice one added in there. Decent stats for 12-13 though, going much higher?
