Tarik Black has to be a write in due to poll restrictions being limited to 10 choices.

Going with Lou Williams. His scoring off the bench could be huge for a young squad without a proven volume scoring option in the starting unit.

Larry Nance if he isn't starting. I'd same the same for Randle if he comes off the bench.

I think Lou will play much better with this system. The only question is if he'll be on bench or not once the dust settles.

I think Lou will get a lot of minutes straight out the gate but honestly believe his minutes will start to deminish as the season goes on.

Hard to pick because many of these guys will be starters at some point this year but I'm going with the dark horse here... Yi.
Talking about how bad Julius Randle is:

Interesting. Who do you think will start over him? Ingram?

I voted Nance. I would expect averages of 10-7 this year.
