NBA Season!!!!!

Finally, the beginning of the NBA season is here. Briefly I will mention five potential sleepers this season and my pick for the NBA Championship.

Sleepers:

1. Anthony Randolph, F Golden St Warriors
2. Gilbert Arenas, G Washington Wizards
3. Wilson Chandler, F New York Knicks
4. Aaron Brooks, G Houston Rockets
5. Carlos Boozer, PF Utah Jazz

We know Randolph is a supreme athlete in this league. Towards the end of the season, and especially during the summer, Randolph showed he may be ready for a breakout season.
Gilbert Arenas looks like he is finally healthy. To be honest I can’t remember the last time he was healthy. I do know the Wizards have improved their roster and have added a lot of depth, taking a little off Gilbert’s shoulders. Look for Arenas to get back to what he does this year.
Wilson Chandler, I love this guys game. I wish he weren’t playing for the Knicks but what can you do. Last year Chandler doubled his scoring average from the year before, from 7.3 to 14.4 ppg. Look for him to continue building his averages.
Aaron Brooks showed in the playoffs that although he stands at a generous six feet he is lightning quick and plays with a lot of heart. I anticipate he will have a big season for the Rockets as they struggle without Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.
It is funny to think of Carlos Boozer as a sleeper. After all, the guy has been an NBA All-Star and was on the redeem team, that brought home the gold medal. Boozer has some what been written off in Utah with the emergence of the younger and cheaper Paul Millsap. Boozer is also in the final year of his contract, meaning he will play his best basket to insure he gets the big pay day next summer.

Finally, my NBA Championship prediction:

Cleveland Lebrons
