Curious what people think. I'm guessing it will be Horford, but IT and Crowder were both very good last year as well, and Smart is a dark horse.

Same. I could see Horford putting up bigger numbers in our system with our pace. If you go two-way impact, it's probably Horford with IT close behind and Crowder, Bradley, and Smart coming behind IT.

AB gets better every year. This year he will average 20 points a game and maintain in other areas. Maybe he won't be the best but he will be very close. Could all change with another signing.

Jaylen Brown.
next year?  You don't actually think that do you?  I expect him to get backup minutes at most.

I think IT will be the best but it's inevitable that people will continue to call him a 6th man so I don't expect him to get the recognition he deserves as the best player

IT will put up the best numbers, Horford might be the best player.

very few say that anymore. I was all aboard the "IT should be a sixth man" train but I changed my tune last year. I think most of the blog did as well.

Thomas - he was the best player on our team last year, and the addition of Horford hasn't changed that.  He's still the best player on our team.

I will still say Thomas as he is our primary scorer, and I think he will be more consistent on the offensive end as there will be less double teams like last year's playoff. Thanks to Horford who can help relieve some pressure off of Thomas

No doubt Horford comes in as second option, post play, initiate some offense in the post. Draw double teams perhaps, but we don't have much 3 point shooting to compensate.

I sure hope Smart can emerge next year and have a bigger leap

Horford will be, but people won't realize it.
