Who do you guys think is going to take their game to the next level next season?

[Jameerthefear]

IMO
Victor Oladipo
Derozan
Tobias Harris

[Milbuck]

Giannis, Oladipo, Drummond, Beal.

[moe94]

Jonas

[Fudge]

Kevin Durant
Giannis Antetekounmpo
Derrick Rose
Anthony Davis
Steven Adams

[Inferno]

Harrison Barnes

[Thunderfan86]

Jeremy Lamb

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Anthony Davis

[DaSeba5]

Hopefully Bosh.

[G-train]

Chris Bosh

[Meticode]

Anthony Davis

I think the addition of Asik will allow Davis to slide into his natural position at PF, and also Asik provides the Pelicans with a true rim protector.

Lance Stephenson

He could really excel his game next year being an even bigger focus on offense than he was in Indiana.

Victor Oladipo

Greatly reminds me of Dwyane Wade in terms of offense and defense. One of the few guards in the league that's not afraid to go up for a block on a bigger body.

[Magic731]

Drummond.

[Meticode]

Drummond.
I was going to say this, but he still looks so raw offensively from watching the USA scrimmages.

[JohnFreeman]

Cousins, Teague

[FatComputerNerd]

Anthony Bennett.

[livingby3's]

Lance Stephenson
Markieff Morris
Gordon Hayward
Bradley Beal
Kawhi Leonard

[Kvnzhangyay]

Bennett. He will finally get positive win shares :lol

[sammichoffate]

Giannis
Dipo
Beal
Davis
Curry
MCW
Boogie
Lin

[andgar923]

Bron.

if there is such thing.

We're gonna see a more mature Bron, picking and choosing his spots and playing off the ball better than ever before. With Kyrie setting him up, he'll be harder to stop, specially with the weight loss.

[L.A.Hawks]

Marvin Williams.:rolleyes:

[robert de niro]

giannis, davis, dieng

[Reggie43]

George Hill, obviously because of the added responsibilities. Always felt he was a skilled player but very passive, always content to just playing a role.

[TheMilkyBarKid]

Greek freak, oladipo, boogie, Davis, Bledsoe depending where he goes, I think Mcbob will do well in Miami if he starts
Dieng could beast too, cavs really should try get him if they're gonna part with wiggins, hell give up tt and waiters

[outbreak]

Oladipo and Giannis

[LoneyROY7]

Blake, Giannis, and AD.

[El Gato Negro]

Delly he already looks like the steal of the Bennett draft class. all he needs is minutes.

[D-FENS]

Anthony Davis

I think the addition of Asik will allow Davis to slide into his natural position at PF, and also Asik provides the Pelicans with a true rim protector.

Lance Stephenson

Victor Oladipo

Good post. I agree with all 3 guys. Hopefully MJ pushes Lance.

[Inferno]

No love for the Black Falcon? :coleman:

[unknowns8]

im really hoping drummond and oladipo go gang busters coz I have them in my fantasy team :)

[RRR3]

Mario Chalmers :pimp:

[Aussie Dunker]

I think this is the year Leonard takes the reigns at the Spurs - becomes an all-star...

[I<3NBA]

Kobe.

i think he's going to retire.

[comerb]

Anthony Davis

[no pun intended]

Anthony Davis
Chandler Parsons
Bradley Beal

[BoutPractice]

Those from the US team that won't get injured. Getting to play with the best often motivates you to reach their level the following season. So guys like Beal, Parsons, DeRozan and Thompson are potential candidates.

Also look out for third year players, especially those with superstar potential such as Anthony Davis. Don't be surprised if he comes out with a 24 ppg, 12 rpg season and finishes top 3 in MVP voting.

But it's not just him. The 2012 class is a good one and several players could explode. The most obvious candidate other than AD is Andre Drummond, who could turn into young Dwight 2.0, turning his 13 ppg into 17+. The already mentioned Beal is another good candidate: US team + third year. Lillard, although he may have maxed out already as an older player, shouldn't be slept on. Terrence Ross, Terrence Jones, Jared Sullinger and Will Barton complete my 2012 list.

I would also look at fifth year players who are already good to very good but with a real margin for improvement as they enter their primes.John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Greg Monroe, Gordon Hayward. Paul George should have been part of this list, sadly...

Beal just got cut.

[played0ut]

From last year?
















































Kobe. :D

[Jailblazers7]

Lol Lillard gets the same shit about his age every off season on ISH.

[Dragic4Life]

Goran Dragic.

All Star reserve book it.

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi

[aj1987]

Bosh better step up. He is gonna be making ~$20M.

[raprap]

Giannis, Stephenson, Oladipo and Drummond. Drummond may make the all star team next season if the pistons do well.

[Rocketswin2013]

James Harden imo

USAB coaches have been raving about his defense all summer

[moe94]

Kobe.

i think he's going to retire.
hahaha

[KOBE143]

Entire Heat team.. No more choker in that team..

[Human Error]

Anthony Bennett
Michael Beasley
Jonas Valanciunas

Anthony Bennett
Michael Beasley
Jonas Valanciunas
Andre Drummond
Why is it that every year someone insists that Beasley is going to break out?

[kshutts1]

Stephenson will open some eyes, and his contract will be viewed as a steal for the Magic.

Calderon will put up about 14/10 on good percentages, and being in NY will get more recognition for that.

Jeremy Lin will be viewed as a legit starting PG.

Bosh will go back to being the leader of a team and a star in his own right. Thinking 22/12 with 1.5 blocks.

[kshutts1]

He has all the tools to be a left handed Carmelo Anthony. Obviously not expecting him to ever be that good, but he's in the same mold as players like Al Harrington, Sheed, etc.. players that are capable of so much more.

[Kingwillball]

Kyrie Irving i think will become a more complete player and will get recognized more once he is doing his thing on big stage in playoffs.

Yeah but he also has all of melo's bad tendencies x2

[kshutts1]

Certainly not disagreeing. Just more responded to the one guy. If put in the right situation, I think Beasley can put up ridiculous numbers. Just likely empty.

[grantz]

Blake Griffin going to be undisputed top 3 this season I think. Improving on defense and shooting.

[Jlamb47]

Kawi Leonard
Klay Thompson
Lance Stephenson
Anthony Davis
Kyrie Irving
