Hayward ... easy....
16 last year.
+ 4 pts - shooting has to get better
+ 4 pts - fast break gimmes
- 6 pts - others getting looks they should get
=====
18 pts per game for Max Hayward
That's cringe worthy...... EVERY-SINGLE-TIME.
I will say this, if Hayward is the leading scorer next season...Quin Snyder isn't the coach we're hoping he is. There are other players on this team that are more offensively gifted than Hayward and I believe Snyder will find a way to tap into it (Burks/Kanter).
Besides, I think there's too much pressure on Hayward with the whole contract thing for him to have a good season and lead the team in scoring. Too mentally fragile to take on that kind of responsibility/pressure. Money can change a lot of things, but it can change your mental toughness.
btw, I voted Burks. Give him the playing time, and he'll put up the points. IMO, he's the most efficient scorer on the team given his knack for getting to the line...
Hayward is the obvious answer but, I'm going with Derrick Favors 16.8ppg on 12.3 FGA's per.
I do expect the Jazz to outperform their expected finish in the west (2nd worst), I doubt Hayward scoring 18ppg would affect the wins and losses as much as that type of bump from Favors.

Way off the radar prediction: Hood drops 20ppg while shooting 42%, wins ROY, and everyone forgets about Jabari
