Hayward will be the top scorer. He is going to get alot of touches. lots of curls. he is the bas line runner so he will get the quick basline inbound pace play that utah runs so much, he will also get the drop off passes from the bigs just like last year.
GH 22
EK 18
DF 16
AB 11
TB 8

If Hayward reaches this 22 ppg status I can see him being an alstar this year too.. But that another topic for another day. ** I have hop in hayward to lead us to a 35 win season**

No way in hell Hayward AVERAGES 22 a game. No chance.
 
Kanter as a PF on offense would be unstopable. He is too strong, has the size and way too many moves in the post with a great touch and range on his jumper. He has the footwork and quickness, too. He will get many offensive rebounds (3-4 per game) which means many second scoring options. If he drives more to the basket (which he really can) there will be around 5 free throws for him per game. He has all the skills on offense which should make him one of the most dominant offensive big man in the league in the years to come. He will be our Go-to-Guy. Don't forget he is still very raw and has shown only some glimpses of what he can become. He is also a great free throw shooter, making 80 percent from behind the line.

Hayward looks like the second or third scoring option that rather wants to distribute the ball and having impact on many other areas. I see him struggle more against elite level wing defenders and I don't think that he will be enough consisstent to be the best scorer.

Again, unless Hayward gets more minutes, Kanter will be our first scoring option. Fact is that Corbin will play Hayward more and that's why I think Hayward is the answer.

So is he more Karl Malone or more Tim Duncan in your opinion?

You might make fun of the statements but I'd love to see what you say in two or three years time. Favors and Kanter will get MAX contracts once their Rookie contracts are finished. Maybe they won't become HOF'ers but I do see the one or other or multiple All-Star nominations for both of them. Fact is, we have one of the best big man duo in the NBA. They still have to prove and stay healthy but I have seen enough...
 
Scoring from the big 5. Scoring alone, mind you:

Trey - 6-9 ppg
Alec - 9-12 ppg
Hayward - 17-19 ppg
Kanter - 13-15 ppg
Favors - 8-14 ppg

I think Favors has the biggest variability in his productivity this year. I think Kanter will come on strong at the end of the season with a couple of breakout games to drive his average up. Hayward will be the most consistent. Alec will be flashy, with brilliant games and very quiet ones, and I think Trey will be steady with a lower than we would like FG% and PPG to match. I think we will be a lower scoring team than we all would like due to the fact that the system is poorly developed and will be poorly executed this year. I think we will defensively surprise some people, but with shot clock violations and missed shots/opportunities it will equal out and we will end up between 28 and 36 wins, depending on how the team gels over the first part of the season.
