Nick Young and Paul George will rock any and everything; you know this already. Yet, there are other players that may surprise you this year. In addition to the <em><a href=\"\/tag\/kicks-on-court\/\">Kicks On Court<\/a><\/em> usual suspects, we want you to keep an eye out for these five fresh faces this season.<\/p>\n<h3>DeMar Derozan<\/h3>\n DeMar DeRozan attacking the rim in the red Air Jordan 5 &#8220;Toro Bravo&#8221;\n<p><strong>Why You Should Pay Attention<\/strong>: DeMar DeRozan has been a faithful wearer of the Kobe line for the past few years, however, judging from the preseason, DeMar might be switching it up this season. We spotted him in the &#8220;Toro Bravo&#8221; 5s, the &#8220;Playoff&#8221; 12s and the Air Jordan 11 Low White\/Red during the preseason games alone. If he mixes retros like these in with his regular Kobe iDs, Derozan could be in the Kicks On Court Champion running.<\/p>\n DeMar Derozan facing up in the Air Jordan 12 &#8220;Playoffs&#8221;\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Damian Lillard<\/h3>\n Damian Lillard wearing the adidas Top Ten 2000\n<p><strong>Why You Should Pay Attention<\/strong>: Who will wear the hottest adidas sneakers this season with Derrick Rose out? Look no further than the 2012-2013 rookie class. adidas signed multiple rookies, including Harrison Barnes, Austin Rivers and Damian Lillard. The latter has been turning heads during preseason games by wearing sneakers such as the &#8220;New Top Ten Class&#8221; adidas Top Ten 2000 and the adidas Rose 773. We expect Lillard to be in the running for 2012-2013 Rookie of the Year and a Kicks On Court champion nominee by the end of the season.<\/p>\n Damian Lillard defending in the adidas Rose 773\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Louis Williams<\/h3>\n Louis Williams defending in the Air Jordan 11 &#8220;Playoffs&#8221;\n<p><strong>Why You Should Pay Attention<\/strong>: Longtime Converse brand member Louis Williams was spotted in the Air Jordan 11 &#8220;Playoffs&#8221; during Atlanta&#8217;s last preseason game. Is this a one-time thing or will we see Williams sport an array of retros this season in place of the Converse flagship shoe? Time will tell.<\/p>\n Louis Williams wearing the Air Jordan 11 &#8220;Playoffs&#8221;\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Eric Bledsoe<\/h3>\n Eric Bledsoe wearing the Nike LeBron X+ &#8220;Blue Diamond&#8221;\n<p><strong>Why You Should Pay Attention<\/strong>: After watching a few Clippers preseason games, we can say Eric Bledsoe is definitely one to keep an eye on for Most Improved Player this season; he&#8217;s also raising his level of play in style. A debut of the &#8220;Blue Diamond&#8221; LeBron X+, along with a couple of Huarache 2k4 wears, has him on our radar coming into this year.<\/p>\n Eric Bledsoe wearing the Nike Zoom Huarache 2k4 &#8220;Olympic&#8221;\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Michael Beasley<\/h3>\n Michael Beasley wearing the Air Jordan 7 &#8220;Orion Blue&#8221;\n<p><strong>Why You Should Pay Attention<\/strong>: In our Kicks On Court Diaries interview with Michael Beasley, he stated that he is &#8220;not with a shoe brand right now and will be testing some things out this season.&#8221; One name comes to mind after that statement: Gilbert Arenas. With that said, we have seen Beasley in a few Jordans and a couple of your favorite Nikes during the preseason.
