George Hill

George Hill

Sorry, I love the guy... but no way George Hill has a breakout year statistically this year when you are competing for shot with Parker, Manu, Jefferson, and Mason. Oh, and don't forget Pop's secret love affair with Finley...

If for some reason the Spurs don't re-sign Manu next summer, 2010-2011 could be Hill's breakout year, but not this year. There's only so many shots to go around, and he ain't the second coming of John Stockton when it comes to passing...

Kevin Durant. He'll score 27+ ppg, maybe in the 30's.

, he's not even old enough to drink and he scored 25+ last season

Unless Arenas is hurt again all year, I don't see Foye even matching last year's numbers. The Wizards have a crowded back court with Arenas, Nick Young, Mike Miller, Stevenson, Foye, Mike James, and Crittenton.

Same with Gay and Gasol now that they added Thabeet and Randolph. Gasol might not even start after Thabeet gets up to NBA speed, meaning less pts and rebounds. And Gay will lose touches to Randolph and Mayo. Gay was already deferring to Mayo during the second half of the season in a lot of games.

Bogut is a nice choice though with Jefferson gone.

I can see TP having a better year. Dice and RJ will take scoring off Manu TD Finley but TP is in prime he won't receive talent wise Dice or RJ to back up him. I hope Hill being a good back up at the point but with Pop risk is important to let Hill with limited minutes. I think TP won't see his mpg decrease and having an healthy manu and RJ will open the game for him.

I can see TP having a better year.

Gee what a shocker.

I second the Al Jefferson vote... dudes a beast with solid post moves unlike dwight, deserves more credit than he gets!

Jason Thompson
Anthony Randolph
Rose

Arenas will be a beast again
Devin Harris
Beasley

Kevin Durant will be top 2 in scoring this year.

[dirk4mvp]

Mayo, OJ and one Randolph, Anthony

[bdictjames]

Andrea Bargnani
Andrew Bogut
Boris Diaw

[Brazil]

Gee what a shocker.

stat wise not so evident to see him progress, you can argue that RJ and Manu will eat a litle bit of scoring but also assists

[DPG21920]

I agree with Bynum.

[galvatron3000]

How many DNP's will he have this season or will he magically be well once leaving Utah?

[Killakobe81]

Russ Westbrook & Durant
Bynum
Nick young
Al Thorton and Eric gordon
George Hill
Rudy Gay & Mayo

[Killakobe81]

I think Randoplh has GREAT potential but I did not put him onlist due to Nellie's love of small ball and he hasto share forward mins with Magette, SJAX, Turiaf, Biedrins and Wright how can he breakout GState needs to malke some moves much like the Clips lose some talemt to make room find better fitting pieces ...amare trade would work give up either Biederons or Turiaf and 2 of the young scorers Bellinelli and Morrow or even SJAX they have great offensive talent little defense need more post scoring ...

[Killakobe81]

By the way Gstate will be sick on offensive this year defense worst in teh league even with two great shotblockers Biedrins & turiaf ...

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

He was a way better player than I thought he'd ever be last year, but now he's 27, which means he's probably plateaued.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Parker is not a good passer. He's an elite scorer. His court vision is pretty terrible. He can make simple passes out of simple penetration, but he's never going to make the pass that is going to wow you, or make you say "Now that guy is a point guard.". He also routinely misses open players.

IMO, having Matt Boner at center sucking a big man out of the paint is why his passes out of penetration were so much better this year because of how good the spacing was. It's a great strategy to rack up regular season wins, but it usually falls apart in the playoffs.
