Statistical Limits?

fixed. i don’t think gay could reach 30ppg, man it’d be cool to see, but 24-25 is more realistic as far as prime numbers. think about it, mayo is the number 1 option for the grizzlies

PRIME – my guess for these individuals

Rgay – 23.2ppg, 7.1rpg, 2.8apg, 1.6bpg, 1.2spg

Durant – 27.8ppg, 7.4rpg, 3.2apg, 1.4bpg, 1.6spg

Lebron – 32.8ppg, 8.4rpg, 8.8apg, 2.1bpg, 2.5spg

DRose – 24.2ppg, 4.2rpg, 8.2apg, .6bpg, 2.4spg

RRondo- 22.1ppg, 4.6rpg, 9.4apg, .7bpg, 2.8spg

JSmith – 18.6ppg, 7.6rpg, 1.8apg, 1.8bpg, 1.6spg

Ojmayo- 26.3ppg, 4.1rpg, 6.8apg, 1.2bpg, 2.1spg

ya, i’ve been postin topics about him all summer long. i do expect him to breakout as well, but still hold to him not making the allstar team, because durant and anthony will take his spot =/

Some of the stats wil look unrealistic but he did say the most they could average

Rudy Gay PPG 33.4, RPG 10.5, APG 5.5, SPG 2.5, BPG 2.1
Kevin Durant PPG 37.1, RPG 11.2, APG 5.3, SPG 2.2, BPG 2.4
LeBron James PPG 35.0, RPG 12.5, APG 11.2, SPG 3.2, BPG 3.0
Derrick Rose PPG 30.1, RPG 8.2, APG 13.4, SPG 3.4, BPG 1.9
Rajon Rondo PPG 25.7, RPG 9.5, APG 11.2, SPG 3.2, BPG 1.5
Josh Smith PPG 26.8, RPG 11.4, APG 5.2, SPG 1.8, BPG 3.3
O.J. Mayo PPG 37.0, RPG 8.3, APG 7.5, SPG 2.5, BPG 1.7

Yes they are very high and will probably not happen but he said the most they could average.

Rudy Gay: 28ppg, 8rpg, 3apg, 1.2 stls, and 1.3blks

Kevin Durant: 34ppg, 8rpg, 5apg, 2.5stls, and 1.2blks

Derrick Rose: 23 ppg, 5rpg, 11apg, 2stls, .8blks

Rajon Rondo: 17ppg, 7rpg, 12apg, 3stls, .6blks

Josh Smith: 20ppg, 10rpg, 5apg, 2stls, 3blks

O.J. Mayo: 28ppg, 5rpg, 6apg, 2stls, 1blk. (IF he gets moved to his natural position of point guard, expect the points to drop down to about 24 ppg and the assists to jump to about 8apg, just my opnion)

lebron james: 34ppg, 10rpg, 11apg, 3stls, 2blks
kevin durant: 32.4ppg, 9rpg, 6apg, 2stls, 1.5blks

derrick rose: 26ppg, 3rpg, 11.7apg, 2stls, 1blks
O.J. Mayo: 31ppg, 5rpg, 6apg, 1.9stls, 0.4blks
rajon rondo: 20ppg, 8rpg, 10apg, 3stls, 0.9blks
blake griffin: 29ppg, 13rpg, 3apg, 1stls, 2blks
greg oden: 23ppg, 15.7rpg, 4apg, 1stls, 3blks
al horford: 21ppg, 13rpg, 2apg, 0.7 stls, 2blks
tyreke evans: 26ppg, 7pg, 10apg, 3stls, 1.9 blks

im just gonna throw this out there….

derrick rose has never been one to rack up steals…. theres no way he can get 2.5 a game…

theres no way rudy gay EVER gets 2.7 blocks per game…

idk also a LOT of this would depend in the system theyre in and how many possesions the team gets per game…

Edit: Yo… how can this have more negatives than the post below me. Do you know how hard it is to average 30 points a game? Do you know how your say these players will be better than in a league moving closer to parity?

Lebron averaged 30 twice. Once in his third year, at the age of 20-21 and again two years later. (Rounded up)… again some people are really optimistic with a lot of these stats. For these numbers to be capable is for a lot of these players to play at Hall of Fame caliber. Like… top 10 ever caliber. I’m not saying the potential isnt there, but you have to be extremely special to put up some of those numbers.Just my 19 cents.

Mixed opinions

Carmelo anthony has already toped 28 points before

Thats cause Carmelo has one of the most complete offensive skillsets in the NBA. People are project 34, 35, 37 ppg… Do you know the kinds of players that have averaged that?? 30 32 max, but his body wont let him bang with the big boys, and I have never… ever seen a player that relies on his jumper that much average that many points.

This is a slippery slope talking about limits. To me a statistical limit in scoring for example would be a scenario where one of these big names played for a team so awful they had to do all the work. Michael Jordan averaged 37 one year Kobe 35 one year, and they weren’t playing on teams all that bad (not good, but not horrid) when it happened. I’d put both of their “limit” at or around 40 per game. In my opinion a limit would be if Lebron played for Sacremento. I think his scoring limit would be around 35-37 ppg, I know he likes to create shots for teammates, but if he or another big name played for a bad team I think it would happen. Heck, Kevin Durant as a talented 2nd year player on a 32 win team almost put up 27 per, If he played on that caliber of team at 25 or 26 years old he would easily be dropping 33 plus per night. I’m just saying “limits” are relative, people saying these players averaging points in their 30’s isn’t unrealistic, on their current teams, in a lot of the cases “yes”, but that wasn’t specified in the post. A limit would be in a scenario that would allow them to maximize their output in each of those individual categories.
