After missing most of the 2012 campaign with a torn pectoral muscle, Horford looks to get back to his All-Star form this season. If he can regain form and average a double-double this year, the Dominican big man will be among the elite centers in the NBA.
49) Paul Millsap. Power Forward, Utah Jazz.
Millsap can is a great rebounder who can also score. He was one of the main reasons the Jazz clinched a playoff berth last season. After picking up the scoring numbers up these past two years, Millsap has a good chance to be an All-Star if he keeps improving.
48) David Lee. Power Forward, Golden State Warriors.
Lee has been an inside force in the NBA for the past few seasons. After signing that big deal with the Warriors in 2010, he has been under the radar the last two years. If the Warriors want to make the playoffs this year, Lee will need to be the leader of their new frontcourt trio that also features Andrew Bogut and rookie Harrison Barnes.
47) Carlos Boozer. Power Forward, Chicago Bulls.
Entering his third year with the Bulls, the pressure is very much on Carlos Boozer. After a subpar playoff performance, Boozer will need to step it up or he will be on amnesty alert. With many Bulls fans calling for him to be benched in favor of Taj Gibson. It is essentially now or never for Boozer as he and the Bulls look to fill the massive void left by Derrick Rose's injury.
46) John Wall. Point Guard, Washington Wizards.
At point guard, only Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook have the skill set at of John Wall. Rose and Westbrook both had huge breakout years in their third seasons, so this should be the time for Wall. If the Wizards ever want to get back to respectability, Wall needs to be the man to lead them. If he can improve his shooting (especially from 3), expect Wall to be much higher on this list next year.
