In no order

Rose
Lopez
Belinelli
Gallinari
Oden
Green
Scola
Westbrook

Honestly, if Scola stays healthy and Houston surprises I see him as a borderline All-Star. You can quote me on it if you want, but the dude is a stud and he's been so overlooked. Now the offense is going to be ran through him with Yao, Artest and possibly T-Mac gone. Ariza doesn't have a go to game so if they run through Scola they could surprise some people. He's an underrated passer and he has an awesome post game.

Not Ariza. He plays defense, shoots, and occasionally dunks on the fast break. He isn't going to do good without Kobe or another playmaker.

Derrick Rose
Brook Lopez
Greg Oden
Thad Young
Kevin Durant
Anthony Randolph
Courtney Lee

Ariza imo will look worse on a team w/ not as many creators, and him having to be thrust into a more predominant role. Last year is prob about as popular as he'll get when he was on a popular team in a perfect role.

Durant I think will break through from All Star level, to Superstar l;evel, and lead his team to a solid record.

Oden just needs to foul less, and get some experience. But he dominated in certain areas last year and has a good chance to break out imo.

1. Lopez
2. Randolph

I'd say Rose but he was already a beast in his rookie season.

I completely agree, i really see his game to be very very similar to pau gasol...he's just shorter and lighter.

Anthony Randolph is going to tear it up this year. He'll be a house-hold name by mid season.
