Who will jump up?

As always, if a season is to be a special season, someone has to take a giant step forward. You expect all the players to improve, but someone has to improve a bunch. The most likely candidate this year is Mareik Isom, who showed us some flashes of brilliance toward the end of the season. J. T. Thomas might qualify, although when he played last year he was very good. Getting a full season out of him at top form would be a big plus. And then there is always Gus Leeper. If the big guy can throw his weight around, he might do some nice things for us.
