List of Jazzmen in the last 30 years to average more points than Bojan

This is recency bias and not at all accurate. Harden is an anomaly in his own right but generally players are not scoring any more than in previous years. Go look at the averages from the 80's where multiple players would score 30+ for the season. We haven't had that in a while.

LogGrad, the point is, players ARE scoring more than they used to. Your Harden reference demonstrates nothing. Your recency bias argument is badly flawed. It appears that there were two brief periods when scoring was unusually high , the mid 80s and now, assuming that your facts are correct. You can't use a 5 year period and say that is the norm, and reject a 25 year period as not relevant due to "recency bias."
 
Bojan is a way bigger signing than Boozer or Okur IMO. The dude is straight gold and even better than the "money man" himself

Last year' ppg were the highest since 1971, slightly higher than the mid 80s, and substantially higher than any other time frame since 1971.

Well your own data doesn't support your point. Only in the 90s into the 2ks was there a dip in scoring. Most of the 70s and 80s were in the 100s to low 1-teens. We are just coming back to the scoring levels of the 70s and 80s. And it took rule changes HEAVILY favoring the offensive players to do it. So the players are not scoring more, and they are not better scorers. The game has been tweaked to allow a harden to arise. With the rules and reffing of the 70s or 80s modern players wouldn't score anywhere near as much as they do now.
 
You seem to think I am making points that I am not making. I'm just saying that scoring averages per game are currently higher than they have been in the past.

Nice list with one glaring omission. Adrian Dantley. AD would be at number one on this list for years with the Jazz.

Ok OP, what am I missing? Adrian Dantley averaged 30 points per game while with the Jazz. That puts him ahead of Karl and Don, and ahead of Bojan...
Look I'm not trying to rain on your parade here, just trying to shed some light on an under appreciated, and largely forgotten, Jazz great.

Please read title of thread.
 
The crazy thing is that Bojan is so bad at passing and dribbling. If he could do either of those things at Haywards level wed have an all-star on our hands
