    RipCityDSCPL 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.

    Come on guys, be serious. This isn't just about the Blazers or Meyers. It's on the whole NBA.

    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.

    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.

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