Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

No. I am not setting myself up with making this thread, as I know some of you are thinking right now. I wait with bated breath for the 'obvious choice' I will no doubt see for a few of you.

As for my picks?

Won't break out: Malcolm Brogdan (spelling?)

Regress: Rodney Hood, Reggie Jackson

Bust: Malik Monk. Lauri Markenan(spelling?)

On a serious note, a lot of people here seem to think this will be Vonleh's breakout year, but he's my pick to not do it. Or at least not that much.

If he doesn't break out, it won't be for lack of opportunity that much is a fact.
I don't know if he'll break out either.
 
Patty C. I think he might be done.

I hope I'm wrong IF we keep him.

Also Jordan Bell because I really wanted him and we didn't get him. So he must fail.

I predict Vince Carter will not have a breakout year in 2017-18. He may even regress a little. He's still a solid role player, but at 40 years old, I feel comfortable predicting his best years are behind him.

Please stop acting like you know what the future holds, you only have opinions like the rest of us.
 
Nick Young is going to get a steady diet of wide open shots and has already played in the Warriors' system, due to Luke Walton instituting it in LA. If he regresses talent-wise, I don't think there will be any way to tell due to the role he'll have in Golden State and his three-point percentage is likely to stay high or be even higher feasting on easy shots.
 
Allstar only take

Wont break out: Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving
Regress: Boogie, Kyle Lowry
Bust: Blake Griffin, Lamarcus

I honestly think his shooting last year was just an aberration. The stats somewhat show it as that as well

It definitely could be, but it's hard to tease out how much of his lower percentages were a case of trying to shoot contested threes off the dribble on a terrible team were he was (miscast as) a featured option. It may or may not be coincidence that his percentage shot up in a motion- and team-oriented system, but I'd bet on him to continue shooting well moving to a team with the same system but infinitely better talent. A lot of times, no defender will be within a mile of him.

True, although he also seems like the JR type that shoots better when they're contested.
 
Im gonna get alot of hate on here for this one, but Jordan Bell will be a bust. Thomas Robinson type of bust

A couple players that will regress...

Westbrick. He will not average another double double and his efficiency will be even worse this year, than last.

Hayward. He was the product of a team concept and environment. He ill not fit in near as well as Boston thinks, and will struggle to be a solid, consistent contributor.

Isiah Thomas will also regress along with Horford.

The Boston Team as a whole, while looking better on paper, will be worse than last year.

Paul Milsap signs new big and probably last major contract and becomes a fraction of what he was in Atlanta. (This will help us immensely)

Since when do players picked in the 2nd round "bust" ? Robinson was picked #5, ahead of Lillard, so I don't really get the comparison...
 
I think Lonzo Ball is going to be often injured, and thus: bust.
 
Definitely going with LaMarcus Aldridge as my regress
Not break out will be Ball. I think he has a year or two to grow.
Sleeper and this is not a joke will be Meyers. Not sure why because he has not come close yet. but Talkin Ball and Courtside have both done segments on how hard he is working on post moves. I think Meyers gets moved (maybe by the deadline) and does well somewhere else.
