Actually, ill change my pick to ellis.THe dude is a stud if he gets some PT.. hands down. Hes quick, athletic, and plays Def.
Yes, Monta Ellis is going to get good playing time, and that kid has a lot of quickness and talent. He is going to be a good player, and he will play well this year. "The only way Ellis makes a big impact is if Baron is out for a while" - when is Baron Davis NOT injured? And even if he stays healthy, like CABANGBANG said - Nelson plays small and Ellis will most likely be 6th man, maybe 7th.Dunleavy - no. He's not going to improve much at all for the rest of his career. I think he's maxed out, and no way he wins MIP. I'm with BCB on this one - I've given up on Dunleavy.

His size is an advantage that no coach has tried extremely hard to use. Nelson is going to demand that he plays his best and will use him at the right times and right matcups. If he doesn't succeed with us, Nelson will have Dun on another team before you can blink.

Im telling you. Darko is gonna take MIP. He will prove all the haters wrong. I hope he starts for Orlando.
