    Dragic would be one of my picks too. I'd also go for OJ Mayo, Evan Turner, Gordon Hayward and with starters minutes in Houston, Omar Asik is another primed for a decent season IMO.

    Dragic is gonna be great with Gortat, Scola and Beasley.

    I think Derrick Williams will be solid for the Twolves this year, pekovic as well.

    Watch out for Darko to potentially be a good fit with the Celtics ! :O Apparently he's looked great in the offseason, running like no 7 footer should run. His mental state has changed too, he's no longer trying to reach no.2 overall standard, just trying to play solid team basketball. I for one hope that does succeed. It'd be a great story considering he wanted to leave for Europe a few years ago before the Timberwolves gave him a mini revival with the starting center job for a while.

    Not due to performance (They had been struggling to find minutes for him, not to the extent that require he be waived though) , and by the players request. His mother is quite ill in Serbia and he wants to move back to be with her.

    Still though he was hardly having a breakout year before his mother falling ill. I can't imagine that we will ever see him in an nba again

    If he wants to be back, he will be back. Pretty much impossible to judge a players season on three weeks of play.
