Your bold prediction for the season (2016-2017)

Said it before, will say it again. Hayward 25/5/5 largely on improved efficiency.

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 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 :)
 
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
