Playing off the "Surprise Player" thread, which major player do you feel will be the least likely to surprise us this year? In other words, which player among our top 12 is most likely to meet whatever expectations we fans might have.
It is so easy to imagine most of our major players surprising us either because their potential is still untapped, we haven't seen them in UK blue before, or we haven't seen what they can do when surrounded by talent and depth. But for me, I'd have to go with Davion Mintz here. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a couple games where his experience and familiarity stand out over more talented players, or he gets into a groove and leads us in scoring a particular game. But overall, I think we can expect him to neither take over games, nor totally disappear, and he'll play an important team player role for us, a reliable sixth or seventh man who gives us a steady presence from a shooting and A/TO perspective. I think his reliability is why so many of us were so excited to have him back in the first place.
Even though we haven't seen Grady play in UK blue yet, I'd give him the next nod. I think he'll be the scorer most of us think he'll be and don't see him disappointing.
