Game Thread: Denver Nuggets @ Utah Jazz. 7pm MST.

I don't think Gobert's offense will ever be consistent enough to get to those numbers. And that's ok. I would love to get:

15 pts
13 rebs
3 blocks
2 steals
2 assists

That is a Center on a title team. Toss in Favors, who is better overall than Gobert, with these stats:

20 pts
10 rebs
1.5 blocks
1 steals
3 assists

And then Hayward at 18 pts per night and Exum at 18 and 12? Wowza. That is a great TEAM.

Gobert's per-game numbers are up, but that has more to do with the fact that Snyder is giving him way more minutes than Corbin did. His per-minute numbers actually look pretty similar to last season. That doesn't diminish what Gobert is doing, because it is harder to keep that production up over the course of a game than just a few minutes here and there.

Exum is already playing a lot of minutes. And his per-game numbers and per-minute numbers suck. It is really hard to see where anything close to 18 and 12 averages are going to come from for this guy.

Exum has had one 8+ assist game in his 75-game career.

I predict he'll be somewhere around 8 pts and 5 ast next season.

I like 18 and 12 better, but this is far more reasonable.

Haha. Those are Stockton-like numbers.

Hence the greatness dude.

Yep, exactly why boom bitches is legend.

Lol. I love you guys. First, please show where I said Exum would do 18 and 12 next year. Please do. The reading comprehension is kind of sad. I've always said this is Exum's redshirt year. I've always said next year will be his rookie struggle year. Year three will be fun. Year four will be special. In 4-6 years, Exum, Gobert and Favors will headline the West's best team. If we can find a way to keep Hood, Hayward and Burks...wowza.

But for those of you who thought I said 18 and 12 next year...ha ha.

I can see Exum at around 8 assists next season. That will be the more natural thing for him to put together. But 8 pts and 8 assts will be great from the second year project.

 

[hawkeye]

Everyone on the team will average double double's, and we will be the first team in history to score more 160 points EVERY game! This will all be done while also holding opponents below 40 points a game.

Gobert will also average a quadruple double with 22 points, 19 rbs, 11 blocks, and 10 assists.

The kool-aid really tastes good this year.

If we get 8 and 8 from Exum, we are looking at 50 wins rather easily. . .
