Isn't Michael Curry the only possible answer?

The Knicks will suck again. The Bobcats, Heat, and Bulls will probably all miss the playoffs or at best be late playoff seeds. Curry and the Pistons will probably win 50+ games again and again compete to get to the Finals.

Curry will probably have the best record because of his great team


I'll go with Larry Brown to have the most improvement
Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

Yeah, I think Curry will have the better success of the coaches.

I think Del Negro will improve the Bulls this season.

I think Felton and Okafor will flourish under Larry Brown, he will utilize Okafor correctly, or at the very least, much better than he has been used.

Comparatively speaking, probably Brown although VDN might appear to have a good year since he'll get to add the #1 pick to the Bulls roster.

Also you forgot to add Porter, who I think could be a very good coach in Phoenix.

Yeah sorry bout not adding Porter. I think the SUns will take a step back forcing the Blazers to be playoff contenders.

Curry for most success.
Skiles for biggest improvement. The Bucks greatly underachieved due to an atmosphere of losing last year, but now we have a new gm, all new personnel, and soon we will have new players.
