John Salmons, F, Sacramento: When you look up breakout candidate in the 2008-09 version of the NBA dictionary, Salmons' toothy grin should be staring back at you. Salmons owns career averages of 7.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists over six seasons in the league. The bench has been his home for most of his career with the Sixers and Kings but he did see 41 starts last season. He averaged 17.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists in those games. That also included just under a three-pointer per game, a 49.7 field-goal percentage and 1.6 steals. Get that man in the starting lineup. The Kings finally will with Ron Artest in Houston. If his stats in 2008-09 resemble what he did as a starter last year he'd be a breakout candidate, but we think the former Hurricane could be even better.
