    Luke Ridnour.... He gets no love from the media and fans in general but I think he's a gamer and he will be very productive in Seattle.

    LeBron James. Alot of people seem to think that hes overrated and he cant possibly match the hype or he will just put up decent #'s next year. I predict about 18 ppg and 7apg once LeBron gets going. That will surprise a few of yall.

    Also look out for Luke Walton

    Walton will be lucky to play more than 10 mins a game. He will need to play much better defense to play meaningful minutes under Phil.

    Your right about having to play defense under Phil but assuming Rick Fox is out for a while, what does Devon George have over him?

    George is leaps and bounds more athletic. Before the injury it looked as though he was starting to come into his own. George is a proven NBA player, whereas Walton has yet to prove anything yet. That's not to say he won't be a good player, but as it stands, George has everything over Walton.

    Wade, Delfino. I think that kid from Houston (Ebi something) is going to be good,too.

    I think he can if they ship Eddie "Waaaay Overpaid" Jones and not try to put him at the point. At the 2-spot, Dwayne is going to be special. If he can get a consistent three-point shot, watch out!!! I think Jarvis will be great as well. He was a good pick for the Wiz, who need all the good picks they can get.

    Defenitly Boris DIAW!
    I'(like many ppl!) don't know what's the status in Atlanta,but Diaw is one hell of a baller.Sort of a poor man's LBJ.
    He doesn'tget a lot of love from...anybody(!) but he know how to play!Was MVP last year in the French league.
    He would have been a nice fit in our backcourt next to Steve...
