Who will be the biggest surprise this coming season?

[mchammer]

Here's my list:

1) Manu regains all-star form and stays healthy the entire year
2) Blair surpasses lofty expectations and averages 10/10 (5 offensive)
3) George Hill becomes one of the best back-up points in NBA and becomes our best perimeter defender
4) Pop learns to trust the young uns to prep them for playoff contributions
5) Jefferson scoring goes down but becomes a quality defender

If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise.

Blair makes the rookie team while Hill and Hairston make the sop re team.

Biggest surprise? DRob is signed for the playoffs.

It would be a historical surprise if the Rockets somehow made the playoffs next season, I mean I won't feel it a surprise to see any other team making the playoffs even including the Queens.

We learn that Linda Cooksey is alive and well, and was never married to Mike Yanagita.

1. YYES!!!!!!!!!!
2. I think him averaging more rebounds than points is more realistic of a goal.
3. If not this year (which I don't see) then next year in terms of being one of the best back up points. As far as being a defender, I think hes got a great shot to be our best especially since our on paper wing defender is RJ right now. Hills got a great shot, but how much of an impact it will be is the question.
4. I think so, If I were a betting man I would say that hes willing to play some young uns.
5. I think by default his scoring will go down. RJ has always been a quality defender but when you ask him to carry the team in scoring it becomes very exhausting to defend with quality. I expect RJ to return to his quality defending form.
