Who is going to score?

I think Hayward will take a decent step up. Kanter will be our main post offense. Burke will get his.

Maybe 18ppg for Hayward
16 for Kanter
14 for Burke

I dont' know why, but, I'm expecting a much larger role for Hayward this year. Maybe I'm wrong. But, I'm seeing him being the focal point of the offense this year with expanded minutes to boot.

Have to wait and see.

I think Hayward could do 18 if he forced some things, but prefers to be more of a distributor. All about the team aspect for him. 18 would stun me.

Hayward ISO = no. He's always needed a pick to be really effective.

I think you'll see a PnR-driven offense since Burke and Hayward both are good here. Burks showed flashes of goodness here, too.

We only have one iso player ... Burks. I hope he gets let off the leash a bit.

I think everybody is going to score, I'm just concerned about who is going to step up when plays break down. Burks could be a good option here, I just don't have any idea how Corbin expects to use him. Maybe Kanter in the post will emerge as our best option in these situations.

Am I the only one that thinks Burks iso game is way overrated? He mainly gets everything he gets on the break. He doesn't know how to create separation for his jumpshot. Only a good shooter on wide open spot ups, and can't hit the a j to save his life off the dribble. The more minutes he gets the more defenders will figure out how to guard against his slashing, and force him to be a jump shooter, because he can't get separation with his dribble.

The only post play I want to see is with Kanter, don't really think Favors will be good enough to justify going to him. Favors should be used exclusively as a pick and roll player with Burke. Obviously you put Burks in the corner for his three and baseline driving ability. Hayward at the top of the arc for three or can break down the D on a kickout.

Kanter 18 ppg
Burks 15 ppg
Hayward 15 ppg
Favors 14 ppg
Burke 13 ppg

Bench - 18

This guy knows what he is talking about.
I would even suggest that maybe Hayward averages around 17 points per game. His per 36 says it will be 18 but I think he will get 34
 
I see Burks averaging around 12-13 points per game. I think Rush will demand some good minutes if he is healthy.
 
C'mon guys, let's be real here, are you forgetting who coaches the Jazz?:

Jefferson, Biedrins, Rush, Marvin, Tinsley = 60 pts
bench = 25 points (the young guys just aren't ready yet for big minutes, need to bring them along slowly)
 
Kanter 17ppg/9rbs/3asts

Burke 17ppg/6asts

Burks 14ppg/3asts/5rbs

Hayward 16ppg/6asts/5rbs

Favors 13ppg/10rbs/2blks

Bench: 20-25ppg
This is my most optimistic prediction
 
The took a turn for ppg predictions, so here are mine:

Burke 12 ppg, 5 apg

Hayward's per 36 last year was

17.4 ppg, 4 rpg, 3.6 apg. I think he will be very close that that.

Burks is going to get 13 ppg with 4 rpg.

Favors 14 ppg, 11 rpg and 2 blocks.

Kanter 17 ppg, 10 rpg

So that is 73 ppg from our young guns.

I expect with playing time Rush to get another 10 ppg. Our vet pg will pitch in another 3 ppg. And Biedrins and Jeremy Evans will combine for 10 ppg.

Or in other words 96 ppg. Which would be one of the worst O's in the league.
 
Somebody on this team can average 20 a game, you're underestimating Favors/Malone working out.

Derrick Favors will be beastly this year, definitely could be the leading scorer on this team if he implements the Malone fade away, explosive first step. And I have a feeling he will.
 
Scoring is going to be a major problem for this team. I can see the C5 maybe combining for 70 PPG, but you typically need to score 100 to win games in the NBA. Expecting 30 PPG out of this bench is more than optimistic. And just imagine what happens when one of the C5 misses a game due to injury.
