Revelation player/most improved player of our team next season?.

Likely to be McCallum simply because he's going to get the most touches and playing time.

Biggest upside is Simmons, but I seriously doubt that the Spurs let him run the offense like he did in SL.

I will be absolutely surprised if Pop lets Anderson play point.

Of course you never know how injuries affect this. For one of these players to be an impact player, one of the regular rotation players would have to miss significant time.

Why Tony is not in the Poll? After the last 2 seasons he can easily be our Revelation/Most improved player of the team next season.

I'm gonna say it'll be Ray. With Patty being a 2 in a 1's body and the question marks surrounding Parker, you saw Cojo have a decent amount of playing time last season. With Ray starting to breakout under Karl I think this is a great spot for him to reach his potential.

Good point.

Pop gets shit around here for playing Parker too much, and for various other perceived deficiencies, but over the years he has adapted this team to the personnel at hand. With manu aging, and perhaps taking on a more reserve role, it stands to reason that this is the year Pop would be grooming another explosive playmaker off the bench. Not saying Simmons is going to be averaging high MPG and he will certainly have his share of DNPs, but I expect in the minutes he does get, Pop will be putting the ball in his hands to see what type of offense he can create at the NBA level. Jonathon has the type of complementary skill set (from the limited action we've seen) to work well with the bench unit, and especially patty. If he gets burn with a unit of Mills/Simmons/manu or Anderson/west/Boban we will see pop task him with making plays.

I don't know that much about Ray McCallum, but I am hoping he can come in and solidify the backup point guard position to allow Patty to play more at the shooting guard position.
