Ok let's get these out there now. I thought it would be most fun to start with Rudy. Where will he end up next season, from a personal accomplishment perspective. DPOY? In the running but not there yet? In discussion for MVP or MIP? I tried to include as many options as I could. Let's see what everyone thinks. In the thread feel free to post predictions on stats and other achievements not mentioned. This will be the official brag/crow thread next season. Multiple voting allowed.

Have at you!
 
I think we will see Rudy take a step up next season, but we will also see teams more prepared to deal with him. The end of this season he kind of took people by surprise. I think he will put up numbers like this:

10 pts
12 boards
2.8 blocks
2 assists
1 steal

I think he will still have the best defensive stats for a big man in the league, with a pretty solid margin over others. I think he will just miss out on DPOY voting, but I think he gets the coaches nod for the All-star game as he leads us to a winning record by that point in the season. He won't win any end of year accolades this season, but will be in the discussions all year long. Lots of other GMs will cry themselves to sleep that they passed on him for 20 picks.
 
Wins DPOY and just misses MIP and All Star. Gets pissed and makes all star next year and for the following 10.

12 PPG
12 RPG
2.5 APG
1.5 SPG
3.2 BPG
 
He's a hard worker, and I think he surprises people with his offensive output next season. If only he could add a little 15 foot jumper to his game...not sure I see it, but with as hard as he works it wouldn't shock me.

Still, I think he averages 14 points, 13 boards, and 3.5 blocks a game next season. With maybe 1 steal and 2 assists a game to go with it...honestly his passing is really underrated. He's pretty damn good at it for a big guy.

Ugh, this is going to be one of the longest off season waits ever. I haven't been this amped about a season since the Deron Was Good days.
 
Snyder - COY contender
Gobert - DPOY contender
Burks/Hood - 6th man contender
Exum - MIP contender

Jazz top 3 defensive team, top 12 offensive team and the 6th seed.
 
Top 3 DPOY and fringe all-star. If we're at least in the playoff hunt I think we'll get (1) coaches selection and I'd think Hayward would get the nod.
 
I imagine Rudy putting up something close to the following
12-13ppg
13rpg
2.5bpg

I don't see him getting All star votes as the voting is really messed up in the NBA, but he should get DPOY. Although I wouldn't be surprised if he scored more, given how much he improved this past season, but I'd say 12-13 would be pretty solid. Especially when you consider the other guys we have that can score, Favors, Hayward, Burks and Hood
 
Don't think he'll be in the running for MIP. Probsbly wins DPOY but not a landslide.

I imagine his numbers will be:

10.5 ppg
12.3 rpg
2.7 bpg
 
I see his block rate going down a bit actually, teams will become wise to him and plan for him. Start throwing themselves into him hoping for a foul. DeAndre Jordan is almost as long, more athletic, and has never averaged over 3 a season. I see an uptick in Gobert's steals and points though.

12.5 PPG
13 RPG
2.8 BPG
1.4 SPG
 
I agree the BPG number might not be staggering, but if our overall team defense remains on the pace we've been since the ASG I think he'll win it.
 
My rule of thumb with Gobert is u think big. He barely played his rookie year to doing what he did his second year. If he has a similar jump I could see him getting 18/16/4/4/2 those are MVP numbers. I'm ****ing serious about this!

This is Gobert we are talking about and once in a generation player. U don't find many players that are 7-2 with a 7-9 reach with his agility with the fire in his belly to match. We are looking at greatness. Are u kidding me!!!! As good as he was at defense he's only going to get better at it!

Also if Gobert says he's going to gain a 10ft J, u better believe he's going to add that feature to his offense!! He's only going to improve his ft shooting and the rate he gets to the line. He's going to add a hook shot that will rival Kareem's hooks shot!!

Gobert is future HOF. With a statue in front of ESA!!

All time great!!
 
Thinking Gobert will be in MIP contention next year is really dumb. He's already considered one of the best defenders in the league and a top 10 center. So yeah, just wanted to let you know how dumb you're being. dumbos.
 
I definitely expect him to win DPOY. The only reason he didn't win it this year was because he came off the bench for too long. There is absolutely ZERO doubt who the DPOY was for the second half of the season.
 
bump in case anyone missed it...
 
Top 3 DPOY and miss Allstar we all know how bent voting process is.
13PPG, 14 RPG, 1.5-2 APG 3 BPG
