Breakout Player of 06/07

Postby scrub on Mon May 29, 2006 5:52 am

This year we seen guys like Boris Diaw and Mike James have pretty good years. Next Year who do you feel will have a breakout season? I'm going for Delonte West and Andrew Bogut for pretty big seasons. I also think Odom could have close to Garnett-type season like 20-10-5. Thats if they play like they did in the playoffs. I think that Dwight Howard will be amazing next year. I think he might go on to average like 16 rebounds when he's older.

I think Devin Harris is going to have a really productive year, but he wouldn't really be breaking out since he's already having a fantastic playoff run.

I'm also predicting some big things from Jameer Nelson although I don't think he'll statiscally "break out", but he'll definitely have a bigger rolesince last year he was injured and Steve Francis was there for half a year.

Gerald Green also showed a lot of flashes of being a very good player if he's getting playing time.

I don't see him having too big of an impact. Smith is still pretty raw and inconsistent in some areas and he doesn't seem like he has the work ethic to become a better player.

Dwight Howard. 3rd year is usually the break-out year and who is better equipped to break out than Dwight?

Chris Wilcox was insane after he got used to seattle, i'm expecting him to have something along the lines of a 18ppg 12 rpg to 16ppg 10rpg sort of year, he runs the floor so well and he jumps out of the gym, he's like stromile swift except he hustles his but off.

Yeah, if Darko can get into shape over the summer, he might have a chance to show people why joe d drafted him number 2. He just needs to be able to play more than 20 minutes a game.

Very true, i'd say if we're saying biggest change statistictly, it could definitly be Darko, but as far as the biggest change in their status in the league, i'd say Wilcox still...

Andrei Kirilenko. I hear he's working on his jumpshot all this summer and he's not going to play for the Russia National Team which gives him plenty of time to improve his offensive game and put on a few pounds.

I think Shaun Livingston and Rashard Lewis are going to have career breakout seasons next year as well.

Most of the time the person that has the breakout year is someone none of us really expect. But, I'm going to go with Channing Frye. I can see him getting 17, 10 and 2

As someone said before: If Darko gets in shape he's my number 1 pick too.
I'm looking forward to see D. Howard putting up 20/10 consistantly.
Wilcox and Radmanovic may improve too, as well as Udonis Haslem.

Josh Smith. At the end of the year he shot more three pointers, and made them as well. He played really good at the end of this year and I can see him averaeing about 17-9-2 blocks per game next year.
