I would have to say sheed having even joining the knicks let alone having such a impact.
Kidd and his abilty to still play at a high level
Copeland and his abilty to be a flat out scorer
melo and his maturation and his abilty to lead
JR Smith and his abilty to keep it under control and his overall consistant play
Sheed joinging the knicks and having such a big impact
Mike Woodson Having the team at the top of the EC
The team having such great chemistry on and off the court

J R Smith has the God given ability to be a top tier player in this league when he plays under control.

As Misterearl pointed out he and Melo are just learning how to play the game at the pro level.

JR shooting range and ability to explode at the rim and even get after it on defense is what got my vote.

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

I'd give Copeland putting up good numbers in relatively few minutes the second most surprising thing. He did that in preseason, but plenty of guys have and never made it in this league. Lampe comes to mind.

1. Who's the most surprising player in the East?

Henry Abbott, ESPN.com: Carmelo Anthony. Andray Blatche has a top-10 NBA PER right now. While that's soaking in, consider he's four spots behind … Brook Lopez, and playing in a city where almost retired players Jason Kidd, Rasheed Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse make big contributions. In all of the East, however, Anthony's emergence as a rock-solid night-in, night-out leader has to be the biggest surprise after so many seasons of mediocrity.

Danny Chau, Hardwood Paroxysm: Larry Sanders. After two seasons of looking hopelessly raw in the sparse minutes he played for the Bucks, Sanders is starting to round into form. His on-court effectiveness shouldn't come as a surprise. There is a growing league-wide demand for new-age defensive big men -- players who combine mobility, versatility and length. Sanders couldn't have picked a better time to ascend.

D.J. Foster, Clipper Blog: Deron Williams. It's surprising how quickly Williams has become Baron Davis 2.0. Williams has the exact same PER this season as Davis' career number (17.8), alongside almost identical 3-point shooting percentages and attempts. The laziness defensively, the coach killing, the poor shot selection, the waste of potential … it's a path all too familiar.

Aaron McGuire, Gothic Ginobili: Jason Kidd. While Carmelo Anthony deserves credit for his added versatility, the real story of New York's season is in Kidd's hands. The man looked absolutely finished in 2012 -- career lows in virtually every metric, disengaged, and a waning impact on even his best days. He's reversed all of that -- at age 39! One of New York's finest, to date.

John Townsend, Truth About It: Jrue Holiday. After being handed a four-year extension in November, the 76ers guard has increased his averages from 13.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game last season to 18.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game this season. Holiday joins OKC's Russell Westbrook as the only players in 2012-13 to average at least 18 points and 8 assists.

I think the only real disappointment has been Brewer, and he's starting to turn into a big time flop, I knew he wasn't really any kind of offensive player, but he may be worse the Jefferies..

Melo is not "surprised", he sees it before the rest of us can.

You're comparing Brewer's 32% from three this season with Fishlip's offense at any point in his career? The man couldn't hit open layups during pre-game warmups.

I'm not a Brewer lover by any means, but lets be serious.

Brewer's not even making me miss Landry Fields yet, yet alone JJ.

No one is worse than Jefferies, the man couldn't even catch a pass let alone score.
