Points: Jabari Parker

Rebounds: Nerlens Noel

Off. Rebound: Nerlens Noel – Randle will be really close, but the Sixers will play at a really fast tempo and miss a lot of shots

Assists: Tyler Ennis

Steals: Tyler Ennis

Blocks: Nerlens Noel

Blocks Against: Julius Randle

TOs: Marcus Smart

Fouls: Nerlens Noel – Embiid won’t play enough minutes to win this title

FG%: Joel Embiid

3PT%: Doug McDermott

FT%: Doug McDermott

Min: Andrew Wiggins

+/-: Kyle Anderson.  This will probably go to a player with limited minutes, so Mitch McGary is my 2nd choice.

Obviously these things are dependent upon playing time. That’s why I don’t think Noel will lead in blocks (the only reason) : he won’t get minutes coming off the injury. I don’t think he’d lead in rebounds either way. Assuming Randle gets the minutes, I think he rebounds the most. As for blocks, you’d then think Embiid, but Cleveland has a bunch of centers that might eat into minutes… especially if they’re really gunning for playoffs. However, there are no other great shot blockers who will get minutes So… who knows?

I’m not absolutely wild about him, but I think Napier could get a shot at assists.

 I picked Noel because I thought he would get more minutes than Randle due to the fact that we know he plays on a team without a lot of depth down low, while that is up in the air for Randle.  Noel should also be more ready defensively and can be fine as a low usage offensive player, while Randle may work as a 6th man for some teams.
