I'd say that's a pretty good list. All of those guys are in a position to be featured more prominently this year. Some other guys I'd throw in that list are:

Brandon Jennings/Earsan Ilyasova
Terrence Williams
James Harden/Serge Ibaka
Anthony Randolph
Andray Blatche/JaVale McGee
Roddy Beaubois
Robin Lopez
Eric Gordon
Steph Curry

I don't know about that, he has a lot more negatives than positives in his game. And being that he's a poor ball handler, it sort of minimizes his one really good strength which is his great athleticism.

Not forgetting him at all. He's just not a factor.

No need for name calling "Compton_Killa10".

1st, last and only warning.

DeRozan will be a star in this league when the other 29 teams leave, forcing Toronto to split half it's roster with a new expansion team called the Vancouver Pterodactyls.

DeRozan's biggest issue in depth is Toronto. Weems, Barbosa, and Kleiza says that he won't become a star nor the MIP this year or in the near future. Now, if DeRozen were to get traded in a few years and go to a situation where he could be "the man", I could see him pulling a half-McGrady.

I was going to defend DeRozen but then remembered that he's from Compton, CA. Damn.

I think he will be ok - in a Travis Outlaw type of way, not in the "he's the next T-Mac or Vince" type of way a lot of the Raps fans claim him to be.

Until he develops some actual basketball skills, he won't be anything special.
