This ones tough. I think Im going to go with Julius Randle Assuming Luke is grooming him to be our version of Draymond Green. I think His ability to grab the rebound, push the ball, and deliver an assist to anyone spotting up is going to be vital. Hopefully his decision making improves this year.

How is this determined? Most improved? Fan favorite? Best dunks? Dang will most likely be the one player who will translate to W's IMHO. He's the one true NBA scorer and the guy who can make shots under pressure. If it's a contest of which youngster didn't disappoint the most (I use disappoint here because of the expectations i'm reading) then it's most likely Clarkson.

D'angelo Russell simply because he will be the primary play maker and probably the 1st option on offense as well. I expect a 16/5/4 season from him, and he can easily exceed that.

This is JC. For this year alone I pick JC. We have a lot of up and coming talented young players but JC is the one who is ripe for the picking. DLo and Randle maybe next year but this is year is JC's year.

Didn't get a chance to vote..

I'd say Russell. I'm buying into the hype.
