What do you think your starting 5 will individually average
Heat and Wizards
Heat:
PG: Chalmers - 8ppg, 5apg, 2 rpg 1.8spg
SG: Wade - 24ppg, 6.5apg, 5rpg, 1.2spg, 1.6bpg
SF: James - 27.5ppg, 8.5rpg, 8apg, <-- I really think he can with a better bostrich, a healthy wade and allen will
PF: Shane Battier - 5ppg, 5rpg, 3apg, 1.6spg, 0.8bpg
C: Chris Bosh - 18ppg, 9rpg, 1.8bpg
Wizards: Dunno about the rest of the group but I think that Wall and Beal's statline will be:
Wall: 20ppg, 8.5apg, 4rpg
Beal: 15ppg, 5apg, 3rpg
Wall 19 ppg, 9.5 apg, 4.5 rpg, 1 spg
Beal 14 ppg, 2.5 apg, 3.5 rpg/Crawford(6th man) 17 ppg, 3 apg, 2.8 rpg, 1 spg
Ariza 11ppg, 5 rpg, 2.5 apg, 1.7 spg
Nene 15.5, 7.5 rpg, 1.1 bpg 2.2 apg
Okafor 11ppg 9.5 rpg, 1.5 bpg
I believe Crawford will start the beginning of the season since him and Wall have chemistry but Beal should beat him out.
A lot of idiots in this thread, Kevin Seraphin is a lock to be in the Wizards starting lineup and is the 2nd best player on the team.
Wall 21ppg 8.5 apg
Crawford 17ppg 3rpg 3apg
Ariza 8ppg 4rpg 2 apg
Booker 9ppg 8rpg
Seraphin 15ppg 9.5rpg 2bpg
At least my prediction was more realistic. Seraphin showed some up side after the trade deadline but don't c'mon now he's still got a long way to go before he isnt considered a project.And on top of that Nene and Okafor aren't getting paid all this money to be bench players
Dirk scoring 25 a game lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I'll give you 50/1 odds on Dirk to score 25 a game.
And he still has Mayo getting 22 a game lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, what are the Mavs going to score 115 ppg?
I am not sure if Battier will start. Anthony/Pitt/UD/of Hamilton I don't know who but dont think they are going to start him in the regular season going small all the time+ he is older.
Some dude has Holiday with 7 assists and Turner with 4 unreal will be close on who has more.
Faried and McGee numbers are too low especially scoring, simply will get too many minutes not to get more.
Avery Bradley 2.5 ast a game too low with the minutes he gets at backup point
Also stevie your scoring averages are mostly way too high barring injury you have like 85 points from 6 guys then the Celtics still have Melo, Green, Sullinger, Wilcox, Lee? So you think those players are going to average like 15 points combined???????????????????????????????????????????? Unless there are a lot of injuries you will be off.
Riley you have the Mavericks starters averaging 88 a game, they will average about 94 as a team don't you thinkn there might be somthing wrong guy?
Collison: 12
Mayo 15
Marion 7
Dirk 18
Kaman 13
They have talent on the bench Roddy, Brand, Carter, Delonte, and maybe Cunningham could be good so I don't see any starters playing over 32 minutes a game
83 points ain't too much and keep in mind they won't all play 82 games so some of their individual stats will increase while other guys r out. Also metta is gonna get left open a lot and he played great down the stretch last season. He averaged 12 a game in the playoffs and &$#%#&@! 39% from three, those looks should be even better this year
Mike Conley- 13.5ppg, 7.4apg, 2.8rpg, 2.1spg, 0.1bpg
Tony Allen- 8.4ppg, 3.8rpg, 1.4apg, 1.7spg, 0.5bpg
Rudy Gay- 20.7ppg, 6.5rpg, 2.4apg, 1.6spg, 0.9bpg
Zach Randolph- 17.8ppg, 10.5rpg, 1.9apg, 0.3bpg, 1.0spg
Marc Gasol- 15.3ppg, 9.8rpg, 3.4apg, 1.0spg, 2.1bpg
The Lakers had the worst bench and highest starter minutes in the league last year. Also Sessions played less than half the year i think for them right? now they have Jamison, Hill, Meeks, and who can take a little of the load off. Artest played big minutes in the playoffs because they had little depth and they needed him to guard Durant, I don't see him playing those type of minutes during the regular season. I dont think way under 83 or anything just a little high though. I think Pau, Metta, and Kobe all a little high, even if Kobe guns like last year which is unlikely his minutes will probably be too low to get you 26.
Nash 12
Kobe 22
Artest 8
Gasol 15
Howard 18
No one from last years Suns team could create their own shot except for Nash. And he was concentrating on distributing the ball and putting his teammates in a better position to score. Dragic can create his own shot and will have the ball in his hands most of the time. Beasley for better or worse will have the green light to score and Scola has an array of post moves to his disposal. Marcin may score more than Scola but he will be the 3rd scoring option at best.
With the season 2 months away, and starting line ups beginning to look concrete going into the sesaon; what do you think each of your starting 5 players average? Did you team have a huge change in the offseason, resulting in changes in your teams top scorer/rebounder/assist man? Feel free to include your teams 6th man
my prediction, Lakers:
nash - 10/8 (really depends on how ball dominant kobe is this season)
kobe - 25/4reb/4assits
meta - 12/5reb/2 assists. on 45%+ from the field
pau - 16/10/3assists/1.5 blocks
