Most Impressive Breakouts:
1) Devin Harris: Expect a Monta Ellis/Deron Williams type of year for him. He’ll need to start earning his check and it’s not like he doesn’t have enough guys to dish to on the Mavs. 14 PPG 5 APG
2) Danny Granger: Granger has plenty of opportunities to touch the ball on a lacking Pacers club. He’s a fairly big, athletic swingman who can shoot. 18 PPG 6 RPG
3) Andrew Bynum: Kobe’s favorite player is approaching the age of most rookies but he’s as polished as many veterans. 10 PPG 8 RPG.

What? No predictions for sexual harassment/gun possession charges?
And a serious lack of "Most player-coach blow-ups"
Get with it, Pete, c'mon. Give the people what they want.
Actually, every basketball fan knows that the more PPG you have, the more you get paid, the more you love yourself, the more likely you are to make advances on your coach and then shoot them.
