    I definitely have Derrick Favors exploding this season. He's showed flashes of being a special player, and now he has that opportunity.

    I also have Tobias Harris as my dark horse candidate.

    Evan Turner. The Sixers will be horrible, but without Holiday they're going to have to run a lot of there offense through him.

    Agreed with the people saying Favors and Drummond.


    Others I would include would be maybe Eric Bledsoe, Jonas Valanciunas, and Bradley Beal.

    ^Definitely Bradley Beal.

    Wall/Beal backcourt could be one of the best backcourts next season.

    Oh, but my personal pick is Jonas Valanciunas.

    Dude really came into his own near the end of the season for Toronto.

    The way I look at it is, whichever draft is coming up to contract extensions is most likely to produce people who explode.. Therefore with this logic it could be

    John wall (he's not a superstar yet)
    Favours
    Turner

    My big big sleeper Gordon Hayward

    Ricky Rubio

    I don't think Favors is going to do it.

    Until he learns how shoot, he will be the most overrated player in the NBA.

    Really, that was so two years ago.

    obviously, he is no longer overrated, because I was the first in this thread to mention him at post 17?

    How Ricky Rubio is not on everyone's break-out year list with what Minnesota is doing is pretty astonishing to me. I'm not saying top of the list, just on your list.

    Anthony Davis. He was good last year, but he'll be great this year.
