Out of Kanter, Favors, Burks, and Hayward, who do you think will have the biggest jump in their production this upcoming season based on their per minute stats.

last seasons per 36 minute production numbers were as follows:

Favors per 36: 12.5 points, 1.6 blocks. 0.7 steals, 0.9 assists, 9.7 rebounds

Hayward Per 36: 14 points, 0.7 blocks, 0.9 steals, 3.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds

Burks Per 36: 16.3 points, 1 steal, 2.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds (keep in mind he was 4th among shooting guards in the percentage of possessions he went to the line last year).

Kanter Per 36: 12.5 points, 0.9 blocks, 0.7 steals, 0.3 assists, 11.5 rebounds.

also, it is interesting that per 36 minutes, kanter and favors ar equal in points, and kanter is higher in rebounds.

Kanter has a higher offensive skill level and softer/stronger hands. Until Favors cleans up his footwork and loses the Kwame hands, he's going to have trouble scoring. Its unlikely (barring huge changes to his physique) he ever rebounds as well as Kanter.
 
I voted for Hayward although it very well could be Favors. Guys just typically make a bigger jump from their 2nd to 3rd year than from their 1st to their 2nd.
 
I voted 4 Enes coz I'm a damn homer but logically it will be Favors. Generally there won't be a drastic change.
 
I chose Burks. Seems as if him and MoWill can create a dynamic back court. Williams was talking how he loved Burks "grind". I think Burks will attack the rim hard this year. Not to say that I dont expect improvements from Favors and Kanter though. Favors may begin to get that spot light but watching all the games we've seen many bits, especially in the playoffs, of Favors ability to get NASTY in the paint.
 
I'm not sure it'll show up in most statistical renderings, but I'm expecting a big year from Hayward. I think he will be given broader duties, and I think he will put a bigger stamp on games. I'd like to vote for Kanter or favors, but minutes and roles are too uncertain

Mr. Romantic, you are using Favors' rookie stats. Here are his stats from last year. You can see he improved in every category you have listed.

14.9 pts, 1.7 blks, 1 steal, 1.1 asts, 11.1 rbds
 
Hayward is probably pretty close to his ceiling. Burks has the higher ceiling than Hayward, but I'm not sure he'll improve more and/or get the minutes this year. Favors is the guy I want to see improve the most, but I still don't know what his offensive game in the NBA is going to be. Kanter is a complete mystery, but I was never hoping to see anything great out of him until next year.
 
PS: Everyone, look at the poll. Now this is a sign of an exciting season coming up. Hayward has arguably been the player who's taken the biggest strides thus far, and we are expecting more improvement from him the least (relatively speaking).

I got high hopes for our youth, hopefully they get some serious burn this season.
 
I voted favors because I think that the floor will be stretched better and that will give him the room he needs to really shine.

I do think hayward and Burks (in no order) will be a very close second and third. I am looking for decent game from Marvin and Kanter this year.
