Assuming a season of course.
Who do you see stepping up? Who might be stepping down? Anyone look to be ready to bust out?

"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."

Josh Selby. He will be the breakout player from the 2nd round.

I hope a healthy Xavier Henry can carve out a niche and surprise a few people.

Props to Turbo_Zone for the sig.

Haddadi and Henry. Haddadi has to step up as the backup. Marc's minutes need to be managed during the regular 82 so he is healthy for the second season. He can't be playing 40 minute games every night. Haddadi has to step up.
Henry I want to see getting it and possibly playing some 3 when we go small with OJ playing the 2. I want OJ to be solid but Henry to step it up a notch. I love Sam Young but he's a role player. Mayo and Henry have star potential and need to show it.

Re: Which Griz will surprise this year?
I see Selby, Vazquez, Young and Conley all stepping up. Conley has a bit already obviously, but I think all those other guys are poised to really contribute too. Everyone knows our frontcourt is good, but I see our backcourt becoming respectable as well.
And this is my first post since I just found out we have basketball this season. I am PUMPED!!!

I am tired of hearing about OJ Mayo's potential ( some say its of a star player) . Its time for him to show why i rave about his talent the way i do. Its now or never, if he wants to get a big pay day.
OJ Mayo , Michael Jordan , Allen Iverson.

Xavier Henry if he can find the range on his jumper could be huge, but Rudy Gay 's willingness to let the offense go thru Zach and complementing that all while having a greater understanding of the game could have the most impact on wins and losses.
