1. Chris Paul- this guy is going to go crazy next season, and i can't wait2. Dwight Howard- Yeah he got 12+ rebounds a game, but next year he has a whole team to carry and must pick up the scoring3. Amare stoudemire he was out this year4. Luther head- he will start and be a good player5. Iguadala
LeBron James will have another monster year.Chris Paul, I can't wait to see what he can do in his sophomoreAndrew Bynum, maybe not next year but he will become a dominance soon.I also want to see Gerald Green. he has some sick highlights
Chris Paul will be an all star starter next year, he is the next great point guard of our era. Tayshaun Prince will be an allstar in the East.Dwight Howard will be an all NBA 1st teamer.
I think the title isnt exactly what it says.It's more like, "Players you expect to have a monster year next year" or whatever.
Some statsistics i'm expecting. LeBron James 33ppg/8rpy/7apgDwight Howard 20ppg/13rpgChris Paul 19ppg/9apg/5rpgAmare Stoudemire 25ppg/9rpg (I'm expecting more knee trouble)Andrew Bogut 14ppg/9rpg
Chris Paul won't be the next Magic Johnson unless he gets some help in New Orleans or goes to a team like the Grizzlies or Rockets or Jazz, teams that need PGs.I expect Kwame Brown to get 14ppg/8rpgChris Paul: 21 ppg/9apg/7rpgLeBron: 32ppg/8rpg/8apgMelo: 30 ppg/7rpgDwight Howard: 20 ppg/13 rpg
Charlie V will have a consistent year. I predict his numbers being something like 16 and 8.Dwight Howard will benefit without Steve Francis the whole year. His ppg totals will reach 20 IMOAlso Jameer Nelson will get quite a bit of PT. Im guessing 14 and 7 for himShaun Livingston will get more minutes because Cassell is getting older by the minuteDarko. Playing in Orlando the whole year will bump his numbers from 3 ppg to about 10 and 7 and 2.Andre Iguodala-If AI leaves, he could be the potent #1 or #2 guy. He should average about 15 or 16 next year and win the dunk contest again lolGerald Wallace-G-Force will take full effect next year. He will be noticed. WatchLeandro Barbosa-Im impressed with him from what Ive seen in the playoffs. I think he can be a 14 or 15 ppg guy. I hope the Suns get rid of Eddie House and make him their sg/pg off the bench.Deron Williams-Hopefully Jerry Sloan plays him more next yearRaymond Felton-He will take over the reigns. He should do well naturallyThats all for now.

That team while young, has the makings to be a good team and make the playoffs next year, they was a contender this year. Desmond Mason, and David West are two good young players, that should have good years next year, and they have a very good coach in Byron Scott that will help them keep focus. Jameer Nelson- Will be starting the entire year as the Magic point guard, and will improve very much from this year.Kevin Martin- Has been improving for the Kings every year, and will contine to. Next year will be his year to step up and show how good he really is.

He got 13 off the bench this year in his 3rd season. How is it not possible for him to get 14 or 15 next year especially if House is traded like I think he will be.
You HONESTLY think, next year, with Tim Thomas with them for probably the entire season, Amare coming back, Raja Bell, Shawn Marion and Boris Diaw, for him to average 13 ppg again?
I think he could average around that again, Amare will probably miss a lot of games next year and the Suns run and gun, he can definatly do it. With Grant, Thomas and possibly Amare back Thomas won't get the PT like he is now.
A lot of people here are sleeping on Gerald Wallace, I truly believe that he will be a 20 ppg scorer next year, and there would be a nice combo of Wallace/Felton/Okafor. I admire Wallace's game so much.
Gerald Wallace needs to add a jumper to his game, he's only 23, he has the time to do it. And god damn it he needs to stay healthy, he plays so hard it scares me.
The players I believe will continue to get better next season areSmush ParkerKwame BrownDwight HowardCaron Butler and pretty much everything everybody else said. I agree with alot everybody else was saying.
Devin Harris, Shaun Livingston, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Raymond Felton, Dwight Howard, Josh Howard and Darko.
