Nah, It hurt to lose Hayward but we are alright. We have a super star and plenty of solid role players. We also have a handful of guys that could break out this year. Favors, Exum, Mitchell, Hill and Hood could all have big career years.

We will have the same record as last year.

Hill's back with the Jazz?

Somebody should go inform Tony Jones.
 
Hood is the front-runner, that much is certain. Gobert will get his as well, but let's be honest here; as good as he is on the defensive end, he still has room to improve on the offensive end in terms of range and low post variety. Given Hood's streakiness, a bet on Hood to lead the team in ppg is also a crap shoot. Rubio is a facilitator primarily that has struggled a bit in the past generating his own. I think he still needs to prove that he can hit the open J consistently. Because of these variables, I cast my vote for the rookie, which I would qualify with the phrase "by season's end". Nobody voted for Burks, but he's the wild card as I see it. I do expect a major resurgence from him if he gets the opportunity to play which I suspect he will.

Just look at the history of rookies....

Rookies are never the leading scorers on good teams.

Just the fact that there's 3-4 guys that we're discussing makes it possible though. What if he leads the team at 14 PPG?

That statement makes me a little uncomfortable.

He only averaged 15.6 in college at 32 mpg, wasn't some prolific scorer or anything. It's rather absurd to think he'll lead the team.

If Mitchell is our leading scorer than most likely our season fell apart due to injuries and other issues and we went full tank. If its a good leading scorer than we have the best player since Lebron to come out in the NBA, maybe better than Lebron. That seems pretty unlikely.

You're probably right. I was thinking Hood and Favors get injured in my hexed-Jazz thoughts. And Rudy is too busy getting 22 REB and 4blks/ game, but still puts in 14 PTS.

Pretty funny how they seemed to win more games when hayward was hurt or sick than when he was on the court doe.
Including the playoff game when he was sick.

Not funny. Also your supposition is flat wrong, and using a microscopic sample size does as much to undermine your argument as support it.

Franklin is 100% correct. Sorry if stating simple, obvious reality isn't macho enough.

What microscopic sample size? 7 years?
