Your bold prediction for the season (2016-2017)

The idea that we brought these guys in to take away shots from Hayward is absurd.

They will not affect his usage. The added depth may decrease his minutes, but that's it.

Might be a little of both, IMO. Spurs have had seasons when no one averaged >30 mins. I could see Derrick and Gordon getting mins chopped, especially if subs are maintaining leads deep into the 4th (and Quin mentioned that in his interview).

Also, if Utah is creating better shot opportunities, they may not need to lead the league in passes and have Gordon cover miles per game. Of course, better shooters should mean more points per game. Hopefully Utah will get out and run and create more possessions. So that could offset others taking more shots.
 
Bold predictions :

Exum shows right away that he has the highest ceiling of any Jazz player and the fanz expectation rises

Hayward though is the man this year ..... he becomes a 20/5/5 and all star this year

Favors hangs around the 18/8 range shooting 55%,steady and reliable

Hood does the slow climb upwards ,going from 14 ppg to 17.5 ppg with a better shooting percentage

Gobert though his stats stay around 12/12 becomes more dynamic with the return of Exum ,slam dunks hitting the highlite reels from dimes from Exum

Burks stays and resumes as a super sub with Lyles on the 2nd unit,both recording staedy offensive numbers game after game

Lyles oozing out offensive potential with steady minutes and being 1st big on the floor for Gobert or Favors

George Hill comes in and melts right into the defense to be a factor but his offense doesn't match as previous not because he can't but because the younger players are balling

Joe Johnson and Boris Diaw ,great additions and they have their moments but the youth and athleticism of the core 8 gets the minutes and Johnson and Diaw add where they can when playing

Ingles I think will still get minutes as his 3 pt shooting and passing adds glue to the young players
 
Exum and Hill's play results in Hood dropping back to the bench. Burks gets lost in the shuffle and spend the season trying to find the bits and pieces of his body that have broken off
 
Bold prediction: Jazz end up top 5 in the NBA in 3 pt shots taken, 3 pt shots made, and 3 pt percentage.

This ain't going to be your father's Jazz. All those 3's are going to make Jerry turn over in his grave. Sloan really hated the long ball.

Mack took more shots per minute with the Jazz last year than Hill did with the Pacers.

You are assuming that Hill next to Monta Ellis and Paul George will have the same usage as with his Jazz cohorts.

You also did not mention the low usage players from the comparison and cherry picked Mack.

Jazz coaches and management have spoken about relieving offensive burden from Hayward and hinted that he was worn out by year end.

Why do you think it is absurd that his usage will go down when he has better tools around him? Seems pretty common sense. Jordan's usage dropped from 39% to 35% when they added Pippen.
