How did 7 people pick Kanter?

I picked Hayward but I will say this. If kanter gets over 32 mins per game he will be our leading scorer. Kanter easily has the potential to put up 20ppg if given the minutes, but he won't get the minutes until he drastically improves on the other end.

I agree.

I would add the need to identify the trap and make the proper pass. If Kanter does that better moving forward it'll greatly improve his efficiency.
 
I voted for Burks, although I'm already second-guessing myself and thinking it will be Hayward. An up-tempo offense should lead to multiple players scoring more points, and I don't know that it will help Burks a lot in particular. Part of the reason he's scored so well is his ability to beat his man off the dribble in half-court sets. I kind of think Hayward will benefit more from running the floor and getting better looks to improve his percentages and scoring.
 
What about Burks, Burke, Hayward, Favors and Kanter will all score between 13-18? That's my call.
 
Favors has a better chance of being the leading scorer than Kanter, IMO.

Favors can actually get to the FT line and will benefit more from the emphasis on floor spacing.
 
Cool, we'd still have a leading scorer.

Ok, this is what I predict:

Hayward 17 pts
Favors 16 pts
Burke 16 pts
Burks 15 pts
Kanter 13 pts
Hood 8 pts
Exum 7 pts
Gobert 6 pts

98 pts per game. I think we average about 100-102 per game.
 
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.

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.

I will say this, if Hayward is the leading scorer next season...Quin Snyder isn't the coach we're hoping he is. There are other players on this team that are more offensively gifted than Hayward and I believe Snyder will find a way to tap into it (Burks/Kanter).

Besides, I think there's too much pressure on Hayward with the whole contract thing for him to have a good season and lead the team in scoring. Too mentally fragile to take on that kind of responsibility/pressure. Money can change a lot of things, but it can change your mental toughness.

btw, I voted Burks. Give him the playing time, and he'll put up the points. IMO, he's the most efficient scorer on the team given his knack for getting to the line...

Lulz.
