Your bold prediction for the season (2016-2017)

[tleikheen]

The quartet of PG's Exum/Hill and SG's Hood/Burks becomes the best in the NBA.I also think the top 8 in the rotation will be

1) Exum
2) Hill
3) Hood
4) Burks
5) Hayward
6) Favors
7) Lyles
8) Gobert

9) Johnson
10) Diaw

11) Ingles
12) Withey

13) Neto

Think Johnson gets in top 8 rotation almost immediately
He will torch most teams backup at either SG or SF or PF

Rodney wins 6th man of the year award.

Gobert will win DPOY.

Learn to read the thread title says BOLD predictions.

Jazz win the East.

Now that's bold

Rodney wins 6th man of the year award.

Wow that's cheating that's two bold predictions saying Johnson starts.

Thee Jazz Fan will be mad all season.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Hayward shoots 43% from 3 on 5 attempts per game.

Damn straight!!

 

[KqWIN]

Everyone's numbers will be down, but we'll have a lot more wins. That's not very bold...

Rudy will play less crunchtime than Joe Johnson.

Gobert goes to the 6th man role as the jazz end up starting Faors and Lyles.

Bold, not dumb predictions.

I disagree, I think he visibly takes another step and Snyder realizes that and still plays him around 34 minutes a game and plays him as the main focus of the offense. He's able to get more open shots and is better at finishing around the rim. Takes around 17 shots to average 25. If he raises his EFG to 55%, and his FT% to 85%, all on the same amount of shots, its up to 21.5 PPG, if he takes 17.5 shots at that efficiency (1.5 more) and 2 more free throws, he's at 25 PPG

I do think your scenario is much more likely, but I'm making a bold prediction

I find a 5 point jump in production improbable. If I was to guess it would probably be more like 21 or 22, 23 at the absolute highest. To score 25 ppg you have to take a high volume of attempts and that isn't Hayward. Maybe he makes a step towards a higher volume, but I don't think it will be that drastic.

Dante Exum 5 APG

We just brought in 3 players with strong offensive games who will command minutes. No chance Hayward averages 25 in this group. I think he'd be closer to 18/5/5 while still being more efficient.

I don't see Hayward taking a near 2 point step back in production after steadily raising scoring each year.

New guys won't be taking away any shots from Hayward. They are taking shots from Ingles/Neto/Booker/Johnson/Mack. If anything they may create more shots for Hayward.

I do think you are correct in predicting a minutes decrease for Hayward. I predict about 34 mpg from the 36 he was at last year
