This year, once again, some team will emerge from their apparent wreckage and blossom into a legitimate NBA contender for years to come. In the East, an early favorite could be Indiana, who finally found a real point guard in Darren Collison to pair with Team USA participant Danny Granger on the wing.
The West has an obvious choice in the Houston Rockets, as Yao Ming returns from a year-long injury hiatus, but for a deeper sleeper, what about the Sacramento Kings? With Tyreke Evans, last year's Rookie of the Year, paired with the Kings' suddenly beefy frontcourt (Carl Landry, Jason Thompson, Samuel Dalembert and DeMarcus Cousins), the Kings have real potential for a breakout season, even if they don't make the playoff leap in the always-competitive West.
