Ole Frerks: D’ Angelo Russell.

Did anyone have to change scenes more than Russell?In Brooklyn, D-Lo will fill the stat sheet and indicate his potential as James Harden for the poor. 20+ points and 7+ assists are easily possible with this troop.

Florian Regelmann: Kristaps Prozingis.

At least there’s a reason to look at the Knicks.Porzingis is now The Man in NY at the age of 22 and will cut his score from 18 to at least 23 or 24.

Toruñ Rybarczik: Jusuf Nurkic.

He was freed from the shadows of Jokic last season in time and is now the number one in the Lowpost for an entire season.Nurk Alert!

Robert Arndt: D’ Angelo Russell.

The Lakers chapter is closed.In Brooklyn, Russell will finally get the freedoms he needs.The Nets will play fast and shoot lots of balls.This should be in line with the 2015 No. 2 pick.

Stefan Petri: Kristap’s process.

Without Melo, everything in the Big Apple will now concentrate on the long Latvians.In addition, there is the media hype and the weak East.Ergo: 20+ points per game, All-Star and then Most Improved.

Oliver Mehring: Kristap’s process.

Release the Porz!The Latvian unicorn finally loosens all shackles and throws, drowns, blocks and rebounds itself with breathtaking numbers through the season.The Knicks are still bad, of course.

Philipp Jakob: Myles Turner.

After Paul George’s departure, more responsibility falls to Turner.And this offers the 21-year-old more opportunities to play his way into the limelight.He certainly has the talent to make the next jump.

Dirk Funk: Ricky Rubio.

Only the most persistent Rubio fans still believe in the big breakout season – but there is a lot to be said for it in the coming season.Preseason and EM have shown that he will be much more aggressive.Ricky has finally got the ball in his hands again and will surprise many people.
