I voted for Brooks, because his attitude really shocked me. I always liked Kyle better as a starter (I thought he was the best player on that Villanova Final Four team), but I thought Brooks could thrive in a bench role. I think you missed one that deserves a mention. I've been pretty surprised at how well Courtney Lee has played. He's been a nice addition.
Terrence Williams butting heads with Adelman and getting no playing time after being traded for a 1st round pick.
He might be the flavor of the week right now, but my vote goes to Chuck Hayes. No one could have predicted that he'd fix his free-throw shooting and offensive game as much as he has. He really should be in the mix for the Most Improved Player award.
Who among us could possibly have predicted AB becoming more of a cancer to his team than Charlie Villanueva? That's gotta be #1.
Brooks' bad attitude by far... At the start of the year when Chase was playing horribly I still had faith in him. Lowry was playing well last year so his emergence was somewhat expected. Patterson playing well was a no brainer. Morey drafts very well..
Aaron Brooks..who would have ever guessed his worst season would come right before it's time for him to get paid? Huge mistake on his case..although the suns might pay him to have an "heir" to the great steve nash. Chuck Hayes and Kyle lowry's effort and improvement throughout the entire season has impressed me a lot as well
Voted for "Brook's terrible play and attitude." I thought he would be playing at the same intensity as last season, the very least, being his contract year. Terrible surprise. SMH.
I would have voted for Brooks, but I'm tryin to get that whole situation out of my mind.....I voted for P. Patt instead! "Go Get it Young fella!"
How about wasting a first round pick for a guy like Terrence Williams? I have to admit, I was pretty excited when I first read this. But I knew, either him or someone else, wouldnt get to play a whole lot. But what surprised me was his attitude. He seriously needs to get it together or GET OUT! we already had to deal with AB's baby-like attitude, and now T-Will. And brad Miller's "clutch" plays during the last minutes of the games impressed me a lot!...SMH
As a direct result of most of the surprises listed, I voted for playoffs. We could easily have folded, even more easily when Brooks got injured, but because of the play of Patterson, Lowry, and Martin as well as the emergence of Chase and the force that is the Chuckwagon, we are in this hunt.
