Your bold prediction for the season (2016-2017)

[MENTION=300]silesian[/MENTION] Hayward averaging 26 ppg now

Yes, I'm thrilled with Hayward's three games.

But yet, you are confused about our disagreement, in that it was around usage, which you framed in that his shots per game would go up from last year to this year. I disagreed, saying Hayward would be facilitating more than last year with better offensive weapons.

If you want to gloat over three data points, it makes you look a little naïve regarding sample size and representative opponents (Knicks/Sixers), and other circumstances such as Hill being out for 2 games.

I'll freely admit I was wrong after Gordon plays 42 games and his average shots per game are above 15.

Talk to you then!

Nope

Hill and Johnson's usage will be higher than Ingles/ Neto/ Johnson/ Mack's
Lyle's usage will be higher than Booker's

Usage is zero sum, Hayward's will fall from 25.7 to 23.5-24.5. His minutes will drop from 36.2 to 34-35. His efficiency will go up. His assists will go up. He'll score 18-20.

Say what? Your argument included ppg clown.

Hayward going to score more against better teams. He just dropped 29 on a team that rotated MKG and Batum on him. He also going to score more when Hill actually plays. Doubt all you want.

You forgot the unicorns and flying pigs.

Aren't you the guy who was whining earlier about everybody criticizing your opinion because it was different?

Huh.

Reading is fundamental, dude. I was pointing out the fact that our discussion and our bet was around shots per game. And we agreed to revisit around midseason. So please go away until then, daily discussions are silly, especially after 4 games.

No it wasn't. You read through it all you want.

Once again, you talked about PPG. Stop acting like you didnt.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Hayward is still relatively cold on his shooting and he is averaging 24 ppg. Silesian going to be so wrong lol. The people who predicted 25 ppg might be right.

 

[silesian]

Check back midseason and you'll see who is being absurd. Prepare to eat crow when Hayward's shots/game falls.

There is nothing to debate here, the facts are right in the thread. I said his spg could decrease, you said this was absurd.


My prediction is Hayward at 18-20 ppg. It is disingenuous to pretend that this was the crux of our disagreement.

Cy is racking up some serious Ls around here lately. Getting so desperate that he's trying to turn 4 games into proof about stuff.

 

[NAOS]

But I do think that Hayward will get north of 20ppg this year. Probably around 22-23 ppg when all is said and done.

(not that that was the crux of the disagreement, though).

And I'd be thrilled with this! Don't really care about being right or wrong on silly predictions. Just want the Jazz to win and Gordon to do great. By the way, does anyone know the record is for most consecutive seasons increasing ppg?
