I think our team has a lot in common with the Bucks structurally and could have a lot of same output when you look at statistical distribution. So I would guesstimate similar numbers down the line.

Giannis/Zion- 30
Middleton/Ingram- 20
Holiday/McCollum- 18
Allen/Jones- 11
Portis/Val- 15

The Bucks primary bench group (Hill, Matthews, Connaughton and Nwora) contributed about 30ppg.

I would hope that we are a bit of a stronger offensive team than that group. But we are no where close to them defensively. I just thought the distributions should be pretty close to what we can expect.

I’ll say it. Zion won’t score more than 28 a game because his assists numbers will explode to 6 a game and his efficiency will be even higher. He has way too many weapons to feel like he has to take on the scoring load. He’s a smart player and his game isn’t selfish. I don’t think anyone needs to average 25+ in the starting 5 for us to be an elite team.

The numbers you posted add up to 124ppg and you hope we'd be better. I can save you the suspense and tell you we will not be better nor will we come near averaging 124ppg.

That is because most of the players only played about 60 games. So others filled in. That is just what happens during a season, players are going to miss games. I didn't make those numbers up. That is actually what their numbers were..

CelticDog,
You left Murphy out of your rotation all together. I know he will be in the mix off the bench, so you may want to reconsider your rotation.

That is 96ppg just from the starters. That would close to a record.


You actually think every starter will play 82 games? There is little doubt they will probably load manage Zion to start with and it’s hard to imagine BI and CJ will play 82 games.

Yep, it seems to be impossible.
Even GS 2017, Suns 2006 etc weren't at 124 ppg.

Else

Zion : 26
BI : 20
CJ : 18
JV : 15
Herb : 9

Zion is a ? but i doubt he will play 70+ games.

Same thing for BI. BI didn't play 63+ games since his rookie season LINK

Probably CJ will play 70+ games if no major injury.
