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)

I dunno, I think it depends whether Burks starts or comes off the bench. We do have Burke and Exum who could be starting at 1 and 2, so yeah...


But if Burks plays like Ginobili where he comes off the bench AND finishes off games, then he could get an extra 5-6 points per game just going to the line at the end of games, that might take him over the 20ppg threshold.
 
Hayward bloody well better, with the money he is on, if not he will be run out of town.... Oh wait he probably will be anyway because he is over paid??

Haters piss me off. Fish is gonna thrive under Quin.

Burks is Taylor's Maid for Quin's offense. I disagree on your downplaying of Hayward (he is the leading candidate for ppg), but what Burks will do in this open style will have Zulu ****ting exclamation points at everyone.

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.

Never heard that phrase. You always come up with the best stuff on this site.

Check out Hornacek's pick and dump to the blindspot block with Dragic-Big Plumlee, bro. I guarantee Snyder will [try to] run this with Favors and Kanter next season. Favors can legit shoot .590 ts% in an open system.

I'm not downplaying Hayward. He's my fav player on the team. I just don't think he will be able to change his game much, he is what he is, a versatile forward with limited upsides at everything. To me, 18 pts per game looks like his roof on the scoring side. The only way I see him exceeding it is if he plays a more narrow game. But imo, Hayward should try to be more effective at what he does normally rather than trying to be a scorer. If he does the latter to earn his contract, I'm afraid he could mess it up even more.

Burks averaged 14 points in only 28 mins. His per 36 is already at 18 pts. He is improving steadily. Btw, I have no idea about Quin's game stlye. I just randomly talked when I say he'll play Burks a lot. I meant more like, Burks will make him play him, because I see an efficient scorer in Burks and believe that Quin will see too.

Really good thread tho. Are we gonna repeat the "Hayward = focal point of offense" experiment again this year? Exum is a year away from being the focal point of our offense IMO. Would love him to put up Burke numbers at better percentages.

A year my ***.. Foreign players don't come in after sitting a year and being young and come in and become a force. Its going take the kid 3 or 4 years before you wil see a force. He is a kid for Christ sake and is now playing against men.

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.

I can't disagree about what you said here about Kanter. I would be very surprised if he doesn't improve his passing this year. If you look over last season, you will see that Kanter started passing the ball much more and much more effectively as well.

You have to remember that Corbin wanted the ball on the low block with the bigs. Who mentored Kanter? Big Al. I'd say that he did a fine job of trying to duplicate what he saw from Al and what he thought Corbin wanted from him.

With the new system I think that Kanter will be a great ball moving option. I think he'll spend a fair amount of time down low but he'll probably get plenty of touches from the outside as well.
 
Burks scoring will catch up to Hay when he can use the pick efficiently. If he doesn't make up the jump in next 2 years he won't probably be more than a bench player on a contending team.

As long as he takes less than 2 shots doing it I think he'll be fine. That'll still be better than Hayward who had a 41.3% shooting percentage last year.

Shocking. I had literally not heard one thing on this board about Hayward's bad shooting year. Thanks for breaking the story to us, gumshoe.
