Who is going to score?

Favors does not have a post move, nor a dependable midrange shot. I think 12 ppg is optimistic. Hayward will be the leading scorer, with Kanter close behind; how much they score will depend on how well the team gells.

well he had 9.4 ppg last year on 23.2 minutes, and did he really got a whole lot of help last year that he won't have this year? i think 12 ppg is reasonable.

This.
Favors will average 12 ppg no problem.
 
Possibly interesting somewhat unrelated note: Hayward hit the ninth most threes in a season by any jazz man last season. tying stockton's best. only 12 behind third.
 
Hayward 16
Kanter 15
Favors 13
Burks 13
Rush 11
Burke 9
Rest of the team 17

Sure next year we would talk differently. But for you to expect that this season Kanter will jump his scoring from 6 pts to 18 is a bit fantastic don't you think so? Let him double it to 12 and it is already huge.

I expect he'll double it to 12 just based on playing twice as many minutes. Enes averaged 7 pts in 16.5 mins. I expect him to play 30 mins this season. So 14-16 pts is not out of the question, especially considering the Jazz no longer have Jefferson, Randy and Mo taking all those shots.
 
Just going with what basketballreference.com projects for these guys:

Favors 14.9 ppg, 10.9 rpg, 2.3 bpg
Kanter 16 ppg, 10.4 ppg
Hayward 16.2 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 3.6 apg
Burks 15.2 ppg, 5 rpg, 2.8 apg

Burke will score some, and the bench will be pretty bad, but I expect the original C4 to be pretty close to those numbers. Pretty evenly balanced. I could see Hayward score at a little higher pace than that, as he was 1 ppg higher than that last season. If they get minutes, I see no reason why all of these guys can't reach this level this season, and improve from there.

Actually, Per36, he scored 16.9, and there is no reason to think that he should not be getting around 30+ minutes per game. Also, he scored 7.2 ppg last season, so doubling it is 14.4. Not too much of a stretch to score 18 ppg if he is featured on offense. I think it will actually be somewhere around 16 ppg for Kanter this season, but he will def be a 18+ ppg scorer sooner rather than later.
