Just Saying

Hayward will average good numbers this next year. just look at his numbers the last 6 games of last season when he really started to come on strong

Hayward really started to understand how to play in the nba toward the end of the season. he'll exceed a majority of expectations, just watch!

14 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.8 blocks a game. not bad for a second year guy if you ask me.

I don't understand how a lot of people are so low on Favors Numbers for next year. he averaged only 20 minutes a game last year for the jazz and averaged 8.2 points a game, 5.2 rebounds a game, and 1.2 blocks a game. not to mention his feild goal percentage was 52 percent. If Favors gets 30 minutes a game this next season, his numbers will certainly improve. 13.5 ppg, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks a game is very realistic. add in the fact that he has beefed up and is a year older. anyone who doubts this is going to have a big wake up call.

Enes Kanter is going to be a steady player in the rotation. he is not going to blow anyone a way, but he will produce well for a rookie.

This ^ is indicative of something!
sure i know it is the highlights and moreover it is not showing the weaknesses of Kanter, but he played gradually better throughout the tourney. look for Kanter to exceed expectations his rookie year with steady and consistent numbers. if he gets at least 17 minutes a game, look for him to average 7ppg and 5 boards.

I've been saying Burks could certainly win ROY. He can do things with the b-ball in hands that no one else in his draft class can. combined, his ability to create his own shot and get to the basket is preeminent. that is his NBA skill. if he gets at least 24 minutes a game i expect him to average around 14 ppg, 3.5 boards, 1.5 steals, and 2.5 assists a game. If Burks sees anything near 30 minutes a game, look for him to be a serious ROY canidate!

Consider this Doctrine! lol :) i will bring this post back at the end of the season to validate my claims!!

I love Favors. But his offensive game is virtually non existent at this point. It's kind of tough to average 12 or higher when you don't have a post game. Sap averaged 13 and 12 getting 30 minutes a night in his 3rd and 4th year. I think Favors averages 25 minutes a night for that reason which will keep his scoring numbers down. Personally, I don't care. My thing with Favors is I want to see him become a dominant defender/rebounder this year. Scoring is gravy, but it would be nice to see him steadily gain confidence offensively, and he'll be able to do that better against second units.
 
Favors could average 16/10 in the 2nd half of the season. If he gets deep position, there aren't many PFs in the league who can keep him from finishing around the rim. You remember in highlights that players like Dejuan Blair, Glenn Davis Nenad Krstic and were pretty helpless trying to defend him.

Favors scored 16 points twice last season. I'm hoping for the best, but it's very unlikely he's going to become a good offensive player this year.

I know Favors has a pretty raw offensive game, but he has great touch for a big man around the basket. combine that with his near implacable athleticism around the rim and a bigger body and i suspect he'll score at least 12 or 13 a game. he has been working out all season and he is going to get better with experience. who could really get going by the 2nd half of the season. i see your logic in being modest with your hopes though. My thinking is just that if he can average 8 ppg in 20 minutes his first year, than i think he can average at least 12 ppg in 25 minutes his second year.

. . . except that Favors scored at a higher rate on the Jazz (14.6 per 36) than Millsap did in his rookie year (13.6 per 36) in similar rookie minutes (1535 overall vs. 1472).

My thing with Favors is I want to see him become a dominant defender/rebounder this year. Scoring is gravy, but it would be nice to see him steadily gain confidence offensively, and he'll be able to do that better against second units.
I don't think that it's too much to ask for a big man to both score and defend.

That's why Boozer and Okur were overrated most of the time: expectations focused on offense.

DF is on track to do well in both. He has also averaged 2.2 BP30 so far in Utah.
