Derrick Rose

“Call me crazy but if the Cavaliers are smart they use Rose in spurts, possibly off the bench providing a spark. Rose has had multiple injuries from the past still haunting him and his career but he’s in a good spot where he can utilize the skills he still has for a Cavs team still favored for the NBA Finals.” –Aaron Reed

Joel Embiid

“I’m gonna take the long bet and put my money on Joel Embiid staying mostly healthy all year, playing 70+ games. In that time he will improve drastically, as he is still learning the NBA ropes. He’s insanely talented and will hone and refine his game to an insane level next season.” –Sam Casey
