I think everyone has those certain players that when they fire up an association, they look to try and pick up to improve their team. Usually you pick players who can develop well that you can get for cheap... Who are yours?

1] Marcus Thornton - Not cheap, but the man is an insane scorer. If you play every game, you could lead the league in scoring with Thornton. Also, not bad on defense either, and can handle the ball and pass pretty well. All around solid player.

2] Alonzo Gee - This one is all about progression. In the first season, he seems like a mediocre offensive, to good defensive player. But give him two or three years and he'll be like a mini LeBron for your squad. His offensive game flourishes and his defense only gets better. Progresses into a top 15-20 SF.

3] Terrence Williams - What is to be said about Marcus Thornton, the same can be said about Terrence Williams, except he has about two inches on Thornton and is probably 2x stronger. Plus a better defender. Great pickup, super cheap as well.

4] Kenneth Faried - Young Dennis Rodman with an offensive game. Nuff said. Crazy energy, great rebounder, immaculate defense through progression.
