Ricky Rubio called Derrick Favors "one of the most talented players in the league" and said "I'm going to feed him a lot on the pick and pop"

That's why Favors is my pick. The defense is going to give us that shot every single time, and Favors is more than willing to take it. Not a great thing for the team's efficiency, but it'll give a boost to Fav's PPG. He'll hoist up those 35-40% jumpers all day.

Quin is not going to allow that. It's a losing play. Rubio will find out soon enough Favors is no Karl Anthony Towns.

Maybe...Quin has refused to play Favors-Gobert when it matters. Still, I think Favors is going to do whatever he wants...and he wants to take those jumpers.

With that said, he'll still find a way to get some attempts at the rim. He'll be going against smaller players, catch more offensive rebounds (hopefully), and our offense will force feed it into the paint regardless of if it's helping or not. Favors is going to have a career high in PPG, book it. It's contract time.

Whether that actually helps the team or not remains to be seen.

Westbrook had a TS% of 55.4% this past season and his team hardly struggled.

.554 is pretty poor for a high volume shooter. Players like Westbrook and Duncan get a pass because of all the other things they do, but ideally you want your mass shooters to be closer to .600 or better. .57 should be the minimum.

Mediocre team, below average offense (ranked 17th). I'd call that struggling. Primarily due to Westbrook's inefficiency. They lacked a second scorer, so he had little choice but to be high volume.
 
I voted Burks. Not because I think he will actually be the leader, but I think he has the potential to be. A healthy Burks is easily the best offensive player on the team. No one can get to the basket or to the line like he does. With Gordon out, will this finally be the season that Burks does what he does best and scores?

Surprised to see Mitchell so far down on people's lists. If he gets playing time he's going to score. He is so fast he's going to make his own shots and if his shot is hot look out. Hopefully Hood and Favors lead the list but I think Mitchell is going to be #3. Then there's Rudy who could lead it all if he keeps improving. But it's Mitchell that I'm most interested to see.
