Who's going to breakout in 07-08?
- Thread starter gunks
- Start date
It's not exactly a breakout if you look at his stats for the last games of 06-07, but I pray to all heavens that JWill^2 averages something like that, flirting with double double and 2+ blocks for the entire upcoming season. Given that he's far and away our best rebounder (even more so if we discard Artest - which I hope Petrie will do before the start of the season) there's no way he doesn't get ages of PT with our pitiful frontline growing older and more pitiful by the hour.
If I could pick two guys, the next will of course be Cisco. Indeed I hope for them both. Well, Douby and Price too, but those two will have Bibby in front of them in the lineup while big J has... KT and SAR. If they can even be considered to be in front of him anymore.
I guess I don't even have to say that if by some anti-miracle Justin Williams isn't resigned, I'm going on a shooting spree.

Theus likes Garcia and knows what he can do. Therefore, Garcia is going to get a lot of pt this year, and he will produce.
Douby will show a lot more than last year, especially offensively. The thing that hurts Douby is two coaches in 2 years. Of course, Martin is going to have three coaches in 3 years. These guys need some continuity.
Unless Price really makes a significant improvement this year in seeing the floor and making assists, I think he's on his last contract with the Kings.
Williams - The big questions are how much stronger is he going to be than last year and can he shoot better, especially free throws. He should be thinking this could be a career breaking year for him.

A very good point. If he gets any consistant playing time, he won't be as insecure as under Muss' reign and thus hopefully tone down the craziness a little (but still leaves a lot of it as it's one of the best things about Cisco).
About his physical condition, given that he's already shown he works hard, I'd guess he'll improve a lot and will be much stronger in October. As for the free throws, I'm sure he'll work on them a whole lot too, but here he will have to just get over himself psychologically. Hopefully, much extended playing time and getting continually fouled will suffice for it. If not, well, at least the training will help with his jumpshot a bit.
