I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but which player are you interested in seeing this year.  I'm intrigued by Shelden Williams.  Fifth overall pick out of Duke.  He probably should not have gone that high, but top ten at least.  he was a great defensive player while at Duke.  Hopefully he can figure it back out.

  • Doc could learn a thing or two from Norman Dale
I'm most interested to see if Rondo can put his game together to the point where he's a double-digit scorer practically every night.  Rondo scored in single digits in something like 36 out of 80 games last season.  To become an elite point guard, he needs to be scoring 10+ almost every night.

Also, of course, I'm curious to see how KG recovers.  It will be exciting to see Rasheed and Marquis, too, but I'm most interested in Rondo and KG; those two are the key to a championship for us, I think.

Rondo cause I always like to see the younger players. Sheed for the antics he's sure to get in to. Him and KG going crazy at the same time would be something to see.

i got a few...

1- rondo, in order to see if he can continue the success he had in that chicago series.  i want to see if he can turn the corner and become an all star.  also want to see how his jumper is.  would love for him to have a 15 foot pull up off the dribble.

2- kg, in order to see if the injury limits his ability at all.

3- sheed, just bc he's sheed

Who?  Definitely Rasheed, and how he'll compliment the rest of the team. 

Outside of that, I'm very excited to see of every other player has improved their game, including even Pierce, etc.  Rondo should be additionally interesting to watch since it's a contract year and he has more to prove now than he ever has!  He'll be a lot of fun to watch.

This year, I'd like to see Bill Walker get more minutes. The KG/Sheed combo of energy on the sideline is obvious, but I'd like to see some new talent progress. Maybe even see Rondo hit some solid jumpers from mid range and 3.
Can't stop, Rondo!

Marquis Daniels - not too familiar with his game
Bill Walker/ JR Giddens - see how they have progressed in their developement
Rasheed Wallace - see if he can play better basketball than last year with the pistons.
Shelden Williams - see if he can be a powe replacement

I think this should make the preseason entertaining because all the guys I want to see are on our bench and should get a lot of time then. I think our bench is pretty stacked.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
Rondo/Walker/Sheed/Garnett

I want to see if Rondo can take the step to being allstar (as in no more playing off Rondo). Apart from Garnett I don't think there's anyone more instrumental to us winning banner 18. I want to see if Bill can find a way onto the court. When was the last time we had a super athlete wing who lived up to even half of his potential? I want to see how good Rasheed is, how much he still has in the tank. I want to know if he slipping like some say Or if he's still the player I believe he is.


Player I least want to see Tony Allen  :P

Rondo - I want to see if he can bring his A game against every pg.

Perk - I'd like to see if his offensive game will continue to progress.

Shelden Williams - Just because I follow him on twitter and he seems like a good guy. I want him to do well.

People I'm not interested in seeing this year... Baby (more Baby could mean something happened to KG). TA, just because he's had enough chances.

I wanna see how Kg will play, if he's back to at least 86 percent...we are going to murder teams...if Giddens and walker can develop i actually see the big three getting a lot of rest this season.

I agree ... I want badly to see how KG is moving and interacting with the team ... we saw last season how critical a part he is to the success of this franchise. I'm also excited to see Rondo's maturity ... I truly believe this guy will be one of the premier point-guards of the future, and he is so exciting to watch! Other than that, I want to see that guy named "LARRY O'BRIEN" !!!

Rondo and Sheed, and on a fewer level of expectation, Marquis.

Of course I will enjoy watching the rest of the team but I'm really interested to watch Rondo's progression and the new comers!

I want to see if Pierce and KG are truly healthy.
I Know he says otherwise, but Paul was NOT at 100 percent.

I'm interested in Doc most of all though, I want to know if he'll manage the time of the big 3 better now that he has legit backups, so they don't have to play 42 minutes a night.
Practice? Whatchu talkin about practice?
