Lopez, Dragic - See if they can keep improving.
Lebron, Wade - How they adapt to playing together. Who gets more possession of the ball? Who facilitates more? How effective can the other be off the ball. What's the ISO situation?
Wall - What type of PG does he become. I have never seen any of his college games, so I'm not really sure of his game personally.
Amare - I'm sure we all are interested in seeing how he plays.
Durant

Obviously, I'd be excited to see any Lawal or Clark playing time. I can't think of anyone else at the moment, but I'm sure there are heaps more.
GO SUNS!

Grant Hill

:lol: I bet you weren't all expecting that???

Seriously, I wanna see what happens with these 3.

Charlie V (after a disappointing couple of seasons and the fact he has stated that he wants to be a starter)

I am seriously not really sure on others, but I am interested in seeing how teams go. Us for example. Everyone (on here) seems to be high on us, but I am not sold. Last season I was and told everyone right from the start that we would get out of the first round at least.

The Heat, I so badly want to see them fail, even though I don't think they will I am still interested in seeing what they do.

The Jazz with no Boozer, but with probably an all around better team.

Those are just a few things I am looking forward to. Bring on the season already.

I'm pretty interested in seeing Yao's coming back. I know he's not on our team but I really hope he does come back healthy.

Cousins would be another guy I'd like to see. I watched the highlights of Sacramento's game yesterday and Cousins drove from the 3PT line and finger rolled in the basket. I was like WTF??

If the numpty retards on Houston don't PLAY him more than 30-33 mpg (and more specifically, if this year they stick to the named target of 24 mpg), then he should be fine. He's too big to play the kind of minutes they wanted from him.

Yeah. 20-foot jumper, face-up game, power in the post, passing... He's kind of Derrick Coleman pt 2, only this time, we're hoping that he's not a complete (Please Use More Appropriate Word) like Coleman was. And that lazy bastard was STILL a 20/10 player. Cousins has huge potential.

I don't like to see careers of players that are good ended short, so i am looking forward to:

Yao- I want him come back strong, he was playing at a really high level two to three years ago.

Tmac- such a great player. I don't want to see happen to him, what happened to penny and grant. I hope he can be the old tmac.

Arenas- same here. Great talent. Fun guy.

Suns- dragic, childress, lopez

Ridiculous potential. If he had Durant's work ethic and keeps his head straight, he could be a superstar in this league.

Randolph and Chandler, NY
Lawal, Janning, Warrick and JChill here. i have a good feeling about Siler - if he can get his weight down some more.
Cousins - a monster, I fear
Udoh - loved his play in the tourney

Favors - also could be a monster

Garcia and Pondexter, because I was high on them through college, Ebanks and Caracter because i can't the Lakers got them both, Varnado -

DeMarcus Cousins. He'll either be really really really good, or everyone will hate him and he'll suck.

Kevin Durant. I wouldn't be surprised if he averagd 35 this year. And I want to see hi do it. And win the MVP.

DRagon, JChill, Hedo... for obvious reasons.

Amar'e. And want everyone to see the Nash effect. :)

John Wall- obvious

Blake Griffin- obvious

Eric Gordon after his world's experience
JJ Hickson without Lebron around
Both Lopez twins
Gordon Hayward's super whiteness (I think he looks more like a history teacher than a basketball player)
