Speights set for breakout season?

[.GR]

Kevin Pelton of Basketball Prospectus has used the Diamond Rating plus a bit of subjectivity to rank the top NBA prospects this season. (A prospect is defined as someone with one to three years of experience in the league, who played under 20 minutes a game and wasn't a lottery pick.)

Marreese Speights of the 76ers tops the list.

"What lifts Speights atop this list is his combination of productivity, youth (he was 21 as a rookie) and physical talent," Pelton writes. "These are reflected in the impressive comparisons SCHOENE offers for Speights--LaMarcus Aldridge, Al Jefferson and Shawn Marion top the list. Speights' campaign is off to a solid start. So far during the preseason, he's averaging 24.5 points and 14.8 rebounds per 40 minutes."

Speights in a problem. He dominated the suns when we played them. I wouldnt be shocked to see him take dally's starting spot. Ed is building a wonderful future. Thad,Jrue,Marreese,Iggy,Lou. A lot of problems for opposing teams.

I think he can have a breakout season as well, if he gets the playing time.
