    I would have to give it to Pau Gasol. He has had his fair share of critics the past few season and was not really wanted anymore in LA.

    He has really bounced back in Chicago, leading them to one of the best records in the league with 30-17.

    While his ppg hasn’t really changed, his RRP and Blks have gone up as has his value to the Bulls.

    It is amazing what a change of scenery can do…..

      Hassan had the potential but hadn’t reached it. So it’s not a comeback.

      Pau and Horford are good examples.

    I would agree with Jayhawks: Horford was injured all the time, came back and is an all star this year. Gasol however did play 60 games for the lousy Lakers last year and put up very respectable numbers. He is definitely in a situation that fits him great, but in terms of Comeback I would think off a guy like Horford (who played frist 29 games and was out after that for the rest of the year).

    Horford is a good choice.  But I’m not sure there was much doubt that he could come back from that injury. 

    Lou Williams:

    1)Major knee injury.  Possible career killer.

    2)Full recovery season of sub standard ball, on a team where he didn’t really fit.

    3) Rock bottom of being traded to for the dead contract of John Salmons (so for less than nothing).  Harsh!

    4) Possible candidate for 6th man of the year.

    I just think his floor had dropped so much lower than Horford’s.

     Horford is a good call as he is back playing to his near best and has made the All Star team again.

    I’ll throw in D-Rose too as it’s just so good to see him back playing again after nearly two full years out. He hasn’t made the All Star team but he isn’t that far off his top form.

    I really hope Rose will add another chapter to his comeback in the play-offs. I really believe that he can raise his level of play in the postseason, relieve the pressure from Butler and Gasol, and together with a hopefully healthy Noah will push Chicago to the ECF.
