Statistical Expectations for 2012

While playing NBA 2k11 for the 2012 season I got to thinking what I expected each player to do statistics wise. I also was thinking what numbers would impress me or disappoint me and I wanted to see what other peoples hopes/expectations and disappointments would be for the core/young players.

Gordon Hayward I expect to score 12+ points 4+ assists and shoot a good percentage.
Favors I expect him to get 30+ minutes 10+ points an 8+ rebounds
Jefferson I expect him to be awfully close to 20-10 guy
Milsap I expect to match this years numbers
Harris I expect to put up 15 points 8 assists
 
I was considering starting this thread.

Hayward averaged about 12 points per 36. I imagine he'll get close to that amount of minutes this upcoming year. I would expect 15 PPG at least. 15-5-5 is my hope. Likely won't happen, but it's something to shoot for.

Favors I expect to average 10 rebounds, including rounding up to 10, so 9.5 fits.

Harris won't put up that many assists with the ball being in Hayward's hands more. I'd say 15 and 6.

Millsap will not get the same numbers as last year.

Jefferson will get the numbers of last year.
 
I agree with Broncster's Hayward stats. He should be on target for 12 -13 ppg, 4 rebs, 4 ast. Anything greater than that would be very surprising. Two years from now he'll blow those numbers out of the water.

DD has the rest spot on.
 
Harris = 16 points 7 assist
Hayward= 14 points 3 assist 3.5 rebounds
Miles = 12 points
Sap = 15 points 8 rbs
Favors = 12 points 9rbs
Jefferson = 20 points 9 rbs
Okur = 10 pts
 
If these players get the kind of numbers most of us expect and you get something out of our new rookies I think we could be scary in a couple years. Imagine the last year of Haywards and Favors rookie contracts we will have good cap space hopefully and some solid players.
 
Let's see here.

It's hard to not overdo PPG in prediction threads, so I'll work back from a number.

Let's say 105 PPG.

Jefferson 19
Millsap 16
Hayward 15
Harris 15

That's 65. Have 40 to work with.

Okur. I'll say 8 on this model. He'll be off the bench.

Favors. I'll say 9.

23 left for Miles, Evans, two draft picks, and both backup PGs, and Bell.

That's not much. Have to bring down those estimates, or go really low on Miles and Evans. 7 for Miles? 4 for Evans? 4 for Bell? That's 8 more points for four players. Under these circumstances, neither rookie will have any impact on the team next year.

Points per game averages doesn't need to equal total points. Okur could average 12, but only play 50 games, for example.

But if the main guys averaged 30 minutes, I'd go something like Al (20), Sap (17), Harris (15), Hayward (14), and CJ (if he's here) (16).

Favors I expect to average about 25 minutes for about a 10 point average.

Assists: I'd really like to see Harris get to 9. I would be shocked if Hayward averaged 3 assists. That would put him Top 10 for 2's, Top 3 for 3's. He should be over 2. CJ about the same.

Rebounds: Al has to get to 11. Can't say with Sap because if he plays a lot of 3 his rebounds will go down. I'd like to see both Hayward and CJ crack 4. Favors, on the other hand, is the type of beast I'd like to see approach 10 in 25 minutes. Looking at his development in increments, I want to see him become a dominant rebounder next year. Everything else is gravy.
 
Sounds like people expect 12-15 from hayward so anything below that would be a huge disappointment next year. If he gets in the 16-20 points a game average he might get 2-3 threads per day on Jazz Fanz praising the **** out of him.
 
Favors is capable of scoring in the teens, although his minutes could be impacted depending on how much Millsap plays.

He averaged 12 points per 36 last year. Should be better in his second year, plus he'll likely be getting around 36 minutes.
 
If Miles averages 12 points knock a couple points off everyone else's averages...

exactly - the way his stats have trended over the last few years, he'll need at least 11-12 shots per game to average 12ppg. He's proven he's not an efficient enough scorer to deserve that many attempts.

Hayward and Memo (if that's the direction The Jazz are going) should get half his shot attempts from last year.

Next year he should average no more than 5-6 fga per game and hopefully, with a more restricted shot selection, should bring back somewhere between 7-8 ppg.
