Rubio - 12.7 ppg / 9.8 apg
Mitchell - 10.2 ppg
Johnson - 9.8 ppg
Ingles - 9.7 ppg
Exum - 9.1 ppg / 3.7 apg
Sefalosha - 7.8 ppg
Jerebko - 7.6 ppg
Udoh - 6.4 ppg

Jazz win 46 games.
 
I'm not sure I see Rudy averaging over 16pts a game (yet), unless he becomes a 80+% FT shooter, if he's averaging 18 or close to it I wonder how much of it would come at the cost of his efficiency.

I do wonder what the NBA record is for a most players on a team averaging points in the teens.

I can easily see 4 players averaging 14-16pts and another 3 in the 10-13 range.

The Jazz's offense is going to be based largely on the Ricky-to-Rudy pick-and-roll. Rudy's going to get more touches.

Yeah, but you thought Hayward sucked and the Jazz sucked last year so...

Wrong. Selective memory. I was pretty much the only poster saying Hayward would be signed for way more than what everyone else wanted him at the first go round (consensus was $11-12 million). Utah wasn't very good last season, and that this rebuild's peak. I was correct as usual.

Outside a huge breakout (unlikely), the Jazz will be outside the playoffs and fans will be wishing we had gone the proper rebuild route that Phili and Minny and Lakers followed. None of Favors, Burks, Hood or Exum are going to amount to much. Donovan and Rubio fixing his shot are our only real hope/hype.

Utah just lost the biggest offensive magnet that took pressure off everyone and made Rudy in particular more effective offensively. Most of you chew too much **** with your heads crammed in your *** to realize the effect Hayward had. He's gone, there's nobody to replace the coaching focus that opposing teams had on Hayward. Hood?

Pretty funny how they seemed to win more games when hayward was hurt or sick than when he was on the court doe.
Including the playoff game when he was sick.

In April when he was playing his best ball of the season he was averaging 17.3 ppg on 71.5% shooting. Post all-star this year he averaged 16.7 ppg on 70%. I think it is conceivable he could get to 18 on good averages.

So adding this up, it comes out to over 118 ppg, so that's a wee bit optimistic.

Well, player's ppg total is always more than team's ppg.

Last year Jazz scored 100.7 ppg. and player's total were 130.
 
Hood looked like a 20PPG guy early in the year last year, especially when Hayward wasn't on the floor, so I expect him to be our go to guy this year scoring.

Nah, It hurt to lose Hayward but we are alright. We have a super star and plenty of solid role players. We also have a handful of guys that could break out this year. Favors, Exum, Mitchell, Hill and Hood could all have big career years.

We will have the same record as last year.

Hill's back with the Jazz?

Somebody should go inform Tony Jones.
 
Hood is the front-runner, that much is certain. Gobert will get his as well, but let's be honest here; as good as he is on the defensive end, he still has room to improve on the offensive end in terms of range and low post variety. Given Hood's streakiness, a bet on Hood to lead the team in ppg is also a crap shoot. Rubio is a facilitator primarily that has struggled a bit in the past generating his own. I think he still needs to prove that he can hit the open J consistently. Because of these variables, I cast my vote for the rookie, which I would qualify with the phrase "by season's end". Nobody voted for Burks, but he's the wild card as I see it. I do expect a major resurgence from him if he gets the opportunity to play which I suspect he will.

Just look at the history of rookies....

Rookies are never the leading scorers on good teams.

Just the fact that there's 3-4 guys that we're discussing makes it possible though. What if he leads the team at 14 PPG?

That statement makes me a little uncomfortable.

He only averaged 15.6 in college at 32 mpg, wasn't some prolific scorer or anything. It's rather absurd to think he'll lead the team.
 
Ron Mexico said:
If Mitchell is our leading scorer than most likely our season fell apart due to injuries and other issues and we went full tank. If its a good leading scorer than we have the best player since Lebron to come out in the NBA, maybe better than Lebron. That seems pretty unlikely.

You're probably right. I was thinking Hood and Favors get injured in my hexed-Jazz thoughts. And Rudy is too busy getting 22 REB and 4blks/ game, but still puts in 14 PTS.

He was holding himself back to get drafted by the Jazz.
