2015-16 Breakouts

[Sakkreth]

One of these years, Donatas Motiejunas will become the #2 players on the Rockets.

Hopefully so, he definetly have the tools.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Oladipo and Isaiah Thomas have all star potential this year

[Naero]

Last season already established itself as a predictor for Anthony Davis' eventual rise to all-time Legendary status and the BITW status (he already is, IMO, but the media will take a little while more to espouse it), but I expect a dramatic furtherance of that breakthrough for The Brow this upcoming season.

Anthony Davis was still a bit too marginalized under Monty Williams' offense, whereas Alvin Gentry has already emphasized maximizing his role in the faster-paced offense that the newly hired Pelicans coach wants to systematize.

Sadly, his team's record may hamper his MVP chances

Tim Duncan

I said "break out" not "comes out"

[qrich]

Austin Rivers #MoaM #MIP

[sammichoffate]

Julius Randle, Oladipo, and Andrew Wiggins

[Leroy Jetson]

I think Ray McCallum could have a big year for the Spurs, especially if Tony Parker has injuries. The Spurs system will maximize his talents and they need a younger slasher type.

[Xiao Yao You]

I think Hayward will be an all star this year.
Also Lance to come back closer to his Indiana performance.

Not unless the Jazz get 2. Gobert is the man.

Alec Burks could be ready to break out with a healthy shoulder for the first time in many years.

[Jameerthefear]

this man dipo

[DoctorP]

The Greek freak.
Chandler Parsons
H. Whiteside
Oladipo

[outbreak]

Orlandos starting line up.

I see Oladipo and Gordon breaking out while Harris and Vuc keep up last seasons production but get more attention. Payton will ride those guys highs and look better because of it too.

More people will talk about Orlando and we'll contend for the 8th seed and have some impressive wins but lack consistency.

Jabari could not have found a better situation. Middleton and Giannis are going to help him to not get exploited by quick swingmen. He's going to get to play the 4 on offense where he'll have a huge quickness advantage. His shooting will give Monroe a ton of space compared to what he had in Detroit.

jabari's shooting will have a huge impact on the bucks. he obviously has touch and is a natural scorer, but he needs to be a consistent 3pt shooter to space the floor. if he cant, they'll have 4 bad shooters in their starting 5, and i dont care how good their defense is, with 4 bad shooters, their offense isnt going to be good enough for them to matter.

[G-train]

It's pretty hard to predict a surprise breakout these days, with everything over-analysed.

I will go with:

Noah Vonleh
Kent Bazemore
Lavoy Allen
Nic Stauskas
Doug McDermott

[RidonKs]

teletovic will have a good year in phoenix

ricky rubio will finally prove himself worthy of a starting pg spot

josh smith will have his 6th breakout season

nurkic and gallo have tons of room to maneuver in denver, hopefully they can make that team competitive

josh mcroberts will hopefully make his name heard again, and speaking of lanky white boys with long hair, how about luke babbitt?

BRANDON MFING BASS

oladipo is a great bet, he looked awesome at that white/blue exhibition game. he was also going hard at michael carter williams who also looked good but is on a superior team.

patrick patterson will probably take a bigger leap than jv

oh yeah and otto porter jr took big strides in last years playoffs and now he's finally got the starting spot. he's the guy to look for in washington, not beal. i'm in the minority on this but i don't think beal has much more room for improvement. already close to his ceiling once he puts on a bit more weight. his ball handling and finishing probably won't improve too much tho, he just doesn't seem to have super quick instincts.

edit 1: i hope lance the pants comes back with a vengeance after the change of scenery

edit 2: i really want to see marcus smart, avery bradley, isiah thomas start a game together
