NBA News 2010: Scouts’ Views: 5 guys about to make it big

1. Jrue Holiday, PG, 76ers. He is long and talented and has really only scratched his potential. But the more he played last season, the better he got. The question has always been: How well can he run a team? 

2. Darren Collison, PG, Pacers. When you look at the numbers he put up as a starter when Chris Paul was hurt, obviously, if he gets big minutes he is going to produce. 

3. Kevin Love, PF, Timberwolves. He has gotten better as a rebounder, and he is one of the more versatile power forwards out there. He can shoot it from medium and long range, and he is a tough matchup. 

4. D.J. Augustin, PG, Bobcats. Someone has to be the point guard. Now, with Felton gone, he can do the same with Augustin. He can shoot the 3, but he has to do better at playing within Larry's system and not trying to do too much on his own.

5. J.J. Hickson, PF, Cavaliers. He is a beast inside and a great athlete. He could eventually block 2.5 to three shots per game. He will be a good rebounder, and although he might not have the smoothest offensive game, he runs the floor very well—and they're going to be a good transition team.
