Who will lead the Jazz in scoring next season

[Beantown]

I think with Hayward playing more and having more touches should equal about 5 more points per game. Which will have him leading at around 19 ppg.

Kanter around: 13-15

Favors around: 15-17

I think Hayward gets more shots. My take is Kanter will be just behind Hayward and will only eclipse Hayward's numbers if Hayward shoots it poorly.

Or if Hayward decides "leader" means distributor.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Or if Hayward decides "leader" means distributor.

That could be great... without Hayward looking to score 15+ we get Wiggins.

Meh, he's not the playmaker I thought he would become. He still struggles with that aspect of his game.


Shouldn't your name now be Core5 or Core6?

Hayward.

I think he will be around 18 per game.

Kanter, easily. Look at last year's per 36 for clues: 17.4 for Hayward, 16.9 for Kanter.

Kanter is way more raw and will improve the most.

Corbin clearly kept the Alfense intact to make a seamless transition for Kanter manning the post and high post. He will get a ton of Jefferson's looks.

Kanter 19.8, Hayward 18.2, Favors 15.6 (on 58% shooting), Burke 10.1, Burks 14.3, Evans 5.4, Rush 10.3

I voted Favors. I just don't see a non-big guy leading the Jazz in scoring. I don't think it's happened more than once in the last 25 years.

 

[Hotdog]

I voted Burks.

Although I could see any of the core4 doing it.


I wish thread makers would make polls public.

We have a new coach, new system and a bunch of newish players. I'm not sure the past of the Jazz holds much water anymore.

I think Kanter will pick up where Al left off. He'll be our new 'dump it in the post' target. He's a very efficient scorer.

As Kenny Smith puts it, Hayward will be a "looter in a riot."

Wait, did he really say that?

My fear is that Burke and Burks will both shoot around 40% from the field
