    Austin Rivers - lets face it he played terrible his rookie season. But a couple things have changed and happened that I think will prompt him for a breakout season.

    (1). The Pelicans now have Jrue Holiday at PG. Last year Rivers had to play PG, a position he isn't comfortable with or skilled at. So, he can now settle into his usual SG position. (Obviously, he'll have to work for playing time with Gordon starting at SG.)

    (2). In reality Rivers never should've left Duke after his freshman season. He came into his Rookie season a little too confident and cocky. But last season has certainly put him in his place. He's matured a little bit and has regained his confidence after a solid Summer League performance.

    (3). If Rivers gets consistent playing time and if the coach draws up good plays for Rivers (unlike last season when Rivers had very inconsistent playing time and wasn't used the correct way because he had to play the Point a lot.) then Rivers talent and skill could really shine.

    I think Rivers was put in a situation were he was playing in an odd position last year. He had to play PG a lot, had inconsistent playing time, and not many plays called for him. Rivers has true talent and ability and if these things changed this season I think he would be primed for a breakout season.

    John Wall could make 1st or 2nd team all NBA next year. I think he will average 20-22 PPG, 9-11 APg and 4-5 RPG with solid shooting percentages.

    Jeff Green! This is his year. Celtics team is crap, Rondo won't probably be back right away. Green was hitting his stride second half last year, with no Pierce he'll be forced into the role of top scorer, and I really think he'll do well.

    I have my hopes set on Demarcus Cousins, if he matures a little and works out with Shaq he could be the premier center in the nba..
