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.
Didn't he score 39 in summer league?

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.
What microscopic sample size? 7 years?Not funny. Also your supposition is flat wrong, and using a microscopic sample size does as much to undermine your argument as support it.
Franklin is 100% correct. Sorry if stating simple, obvious reality isn't macho enough.
If Hood is the leading scorer then this team won't average 70 ppg. I think they'll be lucky to not set a franchise low in ppg. Next season is going to suck ***.

I meant to say win percentage. My bad.Que? We won 1 playoff game without him an 3 with him.
We won way more games w/ him than w/o him.

Of course we won way more games with him than without him. We also lost way more games with him than without. Lol at me.
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.
Wow. It's even better than I remembered. **** haywood.Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Jazz record without Hayward for the past 5 years is 18-14. For the past 2 years, it's 7-4.
Wow, that's not a very good record and an incredibly small sample size.Wow. It's even better than I remembered. **** haywood.
That's pretty crazy considering some of those years were tank type years when the roster was crap yet a crap roster minus haywood still did pretty good (and did better than with haywood which was my point)
Thanks for posting that
It's a winning record during years when our record was horribleWow, that's not a very good record and an incredibly small sample size.
I think he will be around 16 ppg as well. But it's not a stretch to be higher. This will be the first time in his career playing with a PG who can pass to him properly. Rubio is much better at getting the ball to bigs than Hill. That is worth a couple points jump alone.To me, the averages you're talking about seem unsustainable during a whole season, especially without Hayward, who drew much attention from the defenses. Besides, let's not forget that Gobert is not the most durable player ever - far from it. I don't think management would like to see him banging in the paint enough to average about 16-18 ppg while ALSO being the defensive anchor of the team.
I agree that everybody should expect Gobert to have a higher usage rate, but not a much higher one. On the other hand, Gobert offensive efficiency, which was off the charts, should be expected to come down a bit, even if he improves his limited skill set, due to Hayward's absense and the increased attention that he should receive from the opposition.
I'm predicting 15-16 ppg for Gobert, in slightly less minutes per game, 32.0, with a FG% around 60%.
So over the last 5 years the jazz went 197 (wins) and 213 (losses). (This number is slightly inflated with a higher win % than it would be if this were just a reflection of the jazz record with hayward due to the fact that this includes games that hayward missed, which we won at a higher percentage)Wow, that's not a very good record and an incredibly small sample size.

Who isnt playing so Burks can get minutes?
