My 4 votes!

Suck it exum!
 
My predictions:

Favors - 16 ppg, 11 rpg, 2 bpg
Hayward - 17 ppg 5 rpg 4 apg
Burks - 16 ppg, 4 rpg, 3 apg
Burke - 14 ppg, 6 apg
Kanter - six stds, and thirty weird tweets in turkish. Seriously though, I have no idea what to expect from Kanter, especially with the new coach and the emphasis on defense.

Exum - 39 ppg, 11 apg, 9 rpg. (He can't average a triple double in his rookie season, he isn't that good...
Hood - 36 ppg all on threes.

Thank you.

Damn that is a close race...... i could see a similar bunch of scoring averages next year.
But i think hayward will be at the top.

Hayward - 19
Burks - 18
Kanter - 17
Favors - 15
Burke - 12
Hood - 8
Exum - 8

Gobert/booker/novak - 10

Jazz have the fastest pace (and youngest team in the nba) and average 107 pts per game.

They hold thier opponents to an average of 89 pts per game..... blowing out everyteam in almost everygame on the way to the championship.

Tough to say with a new coach. Hayward's minutes won't go any higher, so I don't expect his ppg to change for the better. Kanter may explode under Quin's system, but only if his D improves enough for Quin to be comfortable leaving him on the floor. I voted Burks because I expect his minutes to be on par with Hayward, which should give him the edge.

Hayward's mins won't go up, but he's coming off an abyssmal year percentage-wise. So just by virtue of increasing his efficiency, he should be able to score 3-4 pts more. I expect we'll see a more even spread among the main players. Look at SA's stats: Parker was their leading scorer in the regular season at 16.7. I expect Hayward will come in around 17, and of course be flayed in here because 17 pts/per is not a max player. No matter what Gordon does he's in a no-win situation.

Kinda went all LSD at the end there didn't ya?


I like it!
 
Hayward is going to do it. The combination of Burke being a little better, Exum being a much better creator than our other backups and the new spacing in our offense will help Hayward's efficiency improve some. Which will move him from 16 ppg to 18.5 ppg.

It could be Burks but he isn't as good on the pick on roll as Burke, Exum or Hayward-- or even Hood for that matter. Burks rejects the pick too often so Snyder is going to set things up for him to be the ball handler on pick and rolls. I just don't think he is going to get enough shots.

I do see Favors getting a scoring bump to about 15 ppg.

Kanter is going to struggle with this offense. Everyone needs to move the ball quickly and effectively. He tends to hold the ball. So Quinn will rightly limit his minutes until he can figure it out.

The Utah Jazz, where the best point differential in the history of the NBA happens
 
Burks will be our best scorer.

But Hayward will be our leading scorer due to playing and opportunities.

When Hood and Exum need burn, Burks and Burke will be substituted while max money pale forced winds gets to continue to play and handle the ball.

I agree with you somewhat.... but one thing i have noticed about burks (offensively at least) is that he seems to improve every year and add new skills to his offensive repetiore. (His shooting has gotten alot better, he finishes with his left hand alot more now, and he added a really nice euro-step to his game) i think burks will be a VERY good pick n roll player once quin gets his hands on him.

Great point and i hadnt thought about that but you are right.
Kanters passing leaves alot to he desired and he wont stay on the court if the ball sticks.

Hood has a clean wrist but the problem is will he play? I mean, when on earth will we get rid of our vets like favors, kanter, hayward and burks to open up space? Give the ball to the young ones is what I feel like is right.
 
Quin will use Burks a lot. He's my only candidate to get close to the 20 pts (16-18 more likely). Hayward will be the Hayward we know. He'll have an all around game.

Fish, could average about 1 ppg easily. But his defense would make us tanking all over again. (Tempting, I know)
