Stat Predictions for 2012 season?

I'm predicting 25 wins this season, and am happy with that. 2012 is the best year since...idk when, to have a late lottery pick. Seriously, who's going to miss the playoffs if it means getting Brad Beal, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist etc.?

I'm a huge fan of adding a deep-threat like Beal. Imagine having Brandon Roy (Alec Burks), Ray Allen (Bradley Beal) and Manu Ginobili (Gordon Hayward) at the 2 and 3. Not to mention, we could add both and utilize Burks as a combo guard.
 
Beers I consume each game +1.5 over last year
Times the 80 year old lady (who knows my name) checks my ticket at the top of the portal each game 2.5
Times Grandma Gail smiles per game (it will never be when the dancers are performing) 0.5
Times I glance at the bench expecting to see Jerry there staring down a ref 3
Next year's earned draft position 4th

No hope for AK anymore? Or are you just going off of rookies and players that actually have a contract?

Yeah, I do not think AK will come back to the Jazz... not in this shortened lockout season. I truly believe he wants to finish this year winning Euroleague with CSKA and coming back to NBA next year.
When I look back at those predictions they are to optimistic scoring wise. It will be worse then that.
 
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!

Kanter with only 10 minutes is not happening. He was the #3 pick in the draft, even Deron got 28 mpg his first year and we know Sloan preferred his vets.

So where is he getting more? Okur, Big Al, Favors and Millsap infront of him as far as experience and skills goes for PF and C spots. Throw in Evans at PF for 10 min and I have hard time seeing Kanter more then 10 min sorry. Unless there is some trade or injury he most likely will be going to get some experience in D-league. There is another possibility of tanking the season if we start bad, then yes he may get more time.
Deron as third pick was so much better then Kanter it is not even worth comparing their playing times as rookies.

Kanter hasn't played one NBA game yet and Deron struggled his first year, so not sure how you can say he was "better" at the time. But even half of Deron's minutes would be far more than 10.
My guess is Al or Paul will be traded before the season, and Memo could get amnestied, freeing up money to sign a SF or backup PG.

If trades happen or Okur is released then yes Kanter will play more. The thing with Deron he had Macleod playing infront of him... Compare quality of him to big AL, Okur, Millsap and Favors. Not even close. Kanter will struggle as he has not played now for almost 2 years and especially vs NBA talent. If Jazz can afford losing games ( which may happen at he end of the season ) then he will get minutes but at the beginning of thew season while Jazz will be trying to win - I do not see it.
 
Okur is about as likely to be effective as Kanter is. I don't trust him at all. Let EK play 15 mins or so as the #2 and take the lumps.
