Who is going to score?

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.

Having four players each average over 15ppg is extremely rare. I don't think any team did it this year. Do we really expect something like that do be accomplished by a bunch of first time starters? Maybe a few years down the road, but not next season.
 
Actually, Per36, he scored 16.9, and there is no reason to think that he should not be getting around 30+ minutes per game.

Isn't Crobin still the coach? After averaging a paltry 13.2 mpg his first season, Kanter's minutes skyrocketed 2.2 more per game in year two. So, there is at least one reason to think he won't be getting 30+ minutes per game.

So is Evans going to start over kanter? Corbin has to play someone. He can't trot out jamaal tinsley at center. Biedrins? Doubt it. Gobert is even more raw than kanter. Enes will play. Book it.
 
I think we'll be fine. Start Hayward and Rush at the wings. Rush is better then some think, assuming he recovered well from the injury, and if Kanter can provide offense in the paint we'll be fine.
