Which players do you believe will improve next year?

I think that obviously Dwight Howard will take his game to a whole other level next year and average 21/13 ish. Some other players to put stats next to... Jameer Nelson - Boris Diaw - Chris Bosh - Chris Paul -

 

I agree about Howard and Nelson. I also think Deron Williams will improve, most the high schoolers from last years draft will actually start making an impact, and I think Kwame Brown could even get better as long as he isnt in prison.

 

I don't think it's possible for Kwame to improve, he's done nothing in all his off-seasons and I don't see that changing.

 

I think Josh Howard and Devin Harris will improve greatly on the Mavs next season.Dwight Howard will probably have the biggest jump though.

 

If Al Jefferson puts in some work in the offseason I could see him stepping it up. I think Robert Swift had a decenting showing in his limited time this year and should only improve. And Raymond Felton will be putting tons of pressure on Knight to be the full time starter for the Bobcats. Also as everyone said Dwight Howard!

 

I think that Marvin Williams will make a big impact next year with the Hawks.

I totaly agree that nelsen and howard will explode..watch out for the magic..also i think that Marcus Banks for the timberwolves will improved alot

 

I see Marcus Banks raising his stats substantially next year.I also see Luol Deng raise his stats up a bunch.Fred Jones is going to break out too.

 

Luol Deng has to fend of Nocioni first, he's taken a lot of his minutes.

Luol Deng has to fight Nocioni for minutes, Nocioni has played better than Deng this year and is starting over him for a reason. Deng's going to have to work really hard this off season to get his minutes back.

Noc will put up a solid fight, but Luol is the future SF for the team.Jared Jefferies is another good name to throw out in that mix.

 

Skiles isn't interested in that, Nocioni is young and has put up huge games.

 

Nocioni has played well but better than Deng? No.You're right they will have to fight for minutes but Nocioni plays PF sometimes when they are playing small ball.

 

- Nocioni- Julius Hodge- Marvin Williams- Dwight HowardJust to name a few...

 

Nocioni has played better than Luol Deng. Deng in playoffs this year...10ppg/ 41% FG, Nocioni 23ppg/54% FG

 

In the playoffs, yeah. I thought we were talking about the regular season...?Nocioni has been a beast. Knocking down his three pointers and going aggresive to the hole. I probably should have listed him too. He sort of reminds me of a taller Manu Ginobili.But seriously, Deng is 20 years old. You're not going to be top notch in the playoffs at such a tender age. He is a very good shooter, defender and he has a smooth offensive game.

 

I think Al Jefferson will come out very strong next year. He's getting into shape and he will improve. my predictions for him next year is: 13-15 ppg, 7-9 rpg, 1-2 bspg, or atleast that's what i'm hoping for.

 

Seriously, noone but me thinks there are any Mavs that'll improve from this season to next?I mean Howard, and Harris will for sure...maybe Benga and Daniels too.
