I like RK but I can't see how he gets enough playing time with Booz, Randle, Hill, and Davis.

The guy from last year's roster who seems poised to do the greatest net change in contributions in 2014-2015 is of course Kobe.
Ironically, Pau will probably see the next best leap forward from last year's work.
I don't see a breakout season from anyone else returning here, not with Lin and Booz and Kobe and Randle all likely so prominent and being in such a changed status. |

If Hill sticks around, I truly believe he will benefit from increased playing time. Jordan isn't your prototypical center, but he has good athleticism and he doesn't require having the ball in order to be productive.
Hill will benefit from rebounds, put-backs and putting his hard-hat on every day. Hopefully he bulked up a little bit over the summer, it would only be good for his overall game and his team. His frame is very similar to how Alonzo Mourning was built, but of course Zo was 6'10 and 250lbs worth of muscle, where as Hill is 6'10 and 230 but lacks the muscle mass that Zo had. I'm not saying they're the same player or Hill could be the dominant force Zo was, but with Hill looking at playing increased minutes he will need some extra muscle to prepare for the rigors of the season.
I think Hill will have a productive season, I don't know if it's worthy of the new contract he just received, but he will have to show that he earned the raise he received! |

I don't think anyone on that list will improve. Everyone on that list is pretty much who they'll be in my opinion.
I have my money on Swaggy P having a breakout year hopefully. |

What he finally learns how to play defense or avg at least 3 assist lol. Young us nothing more than a scorer.
Henry improved a lot last season and is only 23... Good chance he only gets better |

Robert Sacre won't be our most improved player but he should show some overall improvement.
Playing w/ Team Canada should help in his development.
Anything more productive than his last season would be a blessing.
With Bazemore gone there is no doubt that Sacre will be our (MVD) most valuable dancer.  |

Um...... Kobe Bryant!
He averaged 14 points/6 assists/6 turnovers in 6 games last season.
When he scores 25 points per game, has half the turnovers, and plays close to 70 games next season he better get MIP. If not, I'll be heated!
Years ago Kobe said he isn't gonna stick around in the league to score 19-20 points a game. Mamba will be back with a vengeance, or he wont come at all.

i do think lin has the potential to put up all-star numbers and this is the perfect setting for him to do so....
jordan hill is my second choice. he was putting up double-doubles regularly when d'antoni wasn't messing wit his minutes last year. |
