[C.lupus]

1. a
2. a - Bassy is a better distibuter but I think Foye's career will be longer
3. a - tough call between Brewer and Gomes, I'm gonna stay positive about Corey
4. a - same reasoning as 2; if McCants "gets it" and proves me wrong, I won't complain
5. a
6. a
7. a - Foye will get more minutes and should (better) be doing a lot of driving to the basket
8. b - another tough call - flip a coin
9. b
10. a

[Winter Wonder]

1. a. Al Jefferson (will play consistently closer to the basket)
2. a. Randy Foye (will play more minutes and have more opportunity over career)
3. a. Corey Brewer (will have to become Bruce Bowen/Shane Battier-esque, but best combo of youth and understanding of the game and long term potential)
4. b. Rashad McCants (he likes to shoot..... alot)
5. a. Kevin Love (there will be a ton of competition at the guard spots in the future for All Star appearances, Love will potentially have less competition and should have the stats to make it unless he can't get out of Jefferson's shadow)
6. a. Mike Miller (best 3 point shooter MN has and should have the spacing to be more effective and won't have to work as hard and create his own shot all the time with the players around him this year as opposed to previous years)
7. a. Randy Foye (ball will be in his hands more, should have more minutes, and should be penetrating more)
8. a. Mark Madsen (less opportunities and less skill)
9. c. Kevin Love (won't be the defensive focus, should get a number of open looks and put back)
10. b. Brian Cardinal (hate picking on Madsen and Mad Dog has seniority of the scrubs and should get more PT than the others)

[collin_k41]

1. Big Al no doubt
2. Close but I'll have to go with Foye
3. Probably Rashad assuming he ever figures out how to use his abilities.
4. I'll say Rashad again with the same reasoning as #3.
5. Randy Foye--I think he has a better chance than Mccants to realize his potential.
6. Mike Miller--he's cash with a hand in his face I can't imagine what he'll do wide open.
7. Foye will have more FTA most likely unless Rashad figures out that he doesn't need to sit back and jack 3's to score.
8. Mark Madsen--
9. I'll have to say Big Al..hopefully with our good perimeter shooting we can stretch out the D and make it easier for him to score.

b. Rashad McCants

[TMo519]

1. Who will have more rebounds in their career?
a. Al Jefferson - I just can't pick a rookie who hasn't played a game over a guy who's on the tip of All-Star level
b. Kevin Love

a. Randy Foye - Out of just sheer more time on the court than Bassy will over his career.
b. Sebastian Telfair

3. Who will have more starts in their career?

b. Rashad McCants
c. Craig Smith

a. Randy Foye
b. Rashad McCants - Just a better shooter and I think he'll have a long career.

b. Randy Foye
c. Corey Brewer
d. Rashad McCants

a. Mike Miller - Just a flat out shooter

c. Chris Richard

[Young_Star11]

1. Who will have more rebounds in their career?
a. Al Jefferson
Already two 11 rpg seasons...KLove will never match. Al all the way.

2. Who will have more assists in their career?
a. Randy Foye
Telfair might not be a starter his career...Foye will. Foye because of more minutes, but Telfair gets more assists per minute

3. Who will have more starts in their career?
a. Corey Brewer
Not enough upside in Cookie. Gomes wouldn't start on a good team, nor would Shad, who could be a 6th man type guy. Something good is Brew-ing hopefully

4. Who will have more made 3 pointers in their career?
b. Rashad McCants
Shad's the slightly better shooter and is already well up on Randy

5. Who is most likely to make an all star team in the future?
b. Randy Foye
Foye most likely, but it will take about 3-5 years

6. Who will have the best 3 point percentage this year?
a. Mike Miller
Miller is a great three-point shooter who will have less pressure on him with Al and hopefully an established Randy

7. Who will have more free throw attempts this year?
a. Randy Foye
Foye will learn to get to the line a little more, especially in the tight situations

8. Who will have the worst free throw percentage this year?
a. Mark Madsen
Madsen...he can't not get this award

9. Who will have the best FG % this season?
b. Al Jefferson
I'll still go with Al. Things should come a little easier for him this season.

10. Who will lead the team in DNP-CDs this season?
b. Brian Cardinal
Cardinal ain't doing anything this season, apart from collecting $$$

I like when people do this, because then I have to scroll up to see what they picked, and then I lose interest all together.
