Predict Jazz Scoring Leaders

LogGrad98 said:
I think Lauri will see his ppg decrease this year. Last year teams weren't ready to know what to do with the jazz. This year they do. He will see much more defensive pressure which will open things up for others. I think he'll end around 23-24 ppg, and I expect his rebounding to stay steady around 8 but his assists will likely go up, I'm thinking maybe even about 3 or 4 if he is working within the flow of the offense well.

100% will average more. It's a surefire bet imo.
 
POST ASB Lauri averaged 29 points. He's going to take more shots this year. He's going to spend the entire year knowing he's the man and he has to score like the man. He's taking at least 19 shots per game this year.

I don't think it's that simple. Vando averaged 6 field goal attempts for the Jazz and was essentially replaced by John Collins. Collins will probably want around 12-14 shots per game, which would take him back to his best years.

You act like this is your first post on the board.

But okay... take a look at top 10 ppg of the worst teams over the last couple seasons and compare it to yours. It looks like you think wetx will have a historically bad offense. But that fits your persona.

What?

According to my extremely rough ppg distribution prediction above, we'll score around 113 points per game. Yes, it's worse than last season, because I happen to think we'll be considerably worse.

I don't see the problem. It's just a prediction.

You realize no team has ever had 10 players play 82 games right? So your math is a little off at best. You can try again though!
 
Teams often tell their best players to shoot less and do less because they added a mid tier starter.

Nobody's claiming that Hardy will tell Lauri to shoot less. But we're talking about a dude who doesn't have a selfish bone in his body. I don't see Lauri counting his FG attempts if the offense runs the best with, say, Collins taking some of his shots.

As someone else pointed out, Markkanen will be game planned for from day 1 this season. He doesn't force stuff, and I actually see it as an overall improvement if he can use his gravity by facilitating more. That also probably means less shots.

He forced stuff just fine after the ASB last year.
