Not everything has gone perfectly for every team this year, because hey, how could it? Somebody's gotta win and lose every one of these games, after all. But for all the expectations -- and all the endless analysis and prognostication -- heading into the season, there are all sorts of thing that happen that no one could have seen coming. The surprises are what make it all fun. And each team has a player who has surpassed even the most optimistic scenarios. Whether it's a young player who came out of nowhere, a veteran who had struggled but found his stride this year or an up-and-comer who made that big leap forward, somebody has been the pleasant surprise. |
