Thought I'd throw this out there for some afternoon discussion. How do you think this team will turn out next year? My early predictions: (subject to change in the off-season! 
)
Record
49-33, sixth seed in the west.
Top Scorer
Marbury @ 24.7ppg
Top Rebounder
Amare @ 10.9rpg
Top Assist man
Marbury (obviously) @ 8.1apg
Best Defender
Shawn Marion
Most Improved Player on the Team
Tsakalidis. Shocking? Yes. Given the minutes he will put up 7.9ppg, 8.1rpg, 2.2bpg
Biggest Team Bust
Googs. He will try hard to re-gain his form in the off-season but wont see the minutes that he needs..unless he REALLY impresses during the preseason.
Sixth Man
Penny Hardaway. Johnson should finally lock himself into the starting role, but that is no knock on Penny. Penny will be solid next year.
Draft Picks (not exactly sure how it will end up. Lets just say #16 according to NBADraft.net.)
1st round, #16: Zarko Cabarkapa - I agree with NBADraft.net here actually. This guy could be a stud at #16. Or he could be a Dan Langhi clone....

2nd round: Pick goes to the Bulls. Wasnt this for Voskul and Samake? And why didnt the Suns keep Samake?
Some Random Things
Amare will go for 16.7ppg, 10.9rpg next season.
Joe Johnson becomes the team's legit starting SG. Puts up very decent numbers.
Casey will not find his way off of the bench
Penny will go 12.0ppg, 4.1apg, 4.9rpg and put himself in the running for 6th man of the year.
Outlaw once again proves that he is actually worth his contract.
BIG Jake will finally get his minutes.
Marbury will finally be regarded as the leagues best point-guard.
The Suns will be on ABC, atleast once!
I was going to predict statistics from each player, I'll do that when I have a little bit more time. Feel free to add any categories that I may have left out.
