When I said leap of faith, I was referring to my own post where I made a leap of faith by saying Bynum will get 28 mpg.</div> The way you worded that sentence, it sounded real sarcastic. Basically saying, "oh it was a leap of faith when most Laker Centers average the same minutes I just predicted," didn't sound right at all. It sounded like you were being extremely snide. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting huevonkiller:</div><div class="quote_post">When I said 27/28/26 I meant somewhere in that range... Not three players averaging those minutes.</div> The point I was trying to bring up, is that if Mihm logs even 15 minutes, Brown with his usual 27, and Turiaf with around 6 minutes at C per game it won't leave Bynum with a heap of minutes left. The worst case scenario would be that Bynum's minutes go down from last season because of the return of Mihm. However, that was a moot point since I misunderstood you. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting huevonkiller:</div><div class="quote_post">Man, you need to read my post more carefully, I was basically complimenting you. You're being extremely touchy and awkward right now.</div> Sorry man, your post was just pretty awkward sounding in the first place. I apologize for getting defensive. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting huevonkiller:</div><div class="quote_post">As for Bynum's minutes, I predict that he will develop enough of an IQ to log in up to 28 mpg if needed. Turiaf also plays a few minutes a PF whereas Bynum is always at the five. </div> It's true that Turiaf plays PF as well, but he logs a good portion of his minutes at the C. http://www.82games.com/0607/06LAL12C.HTM

Kwame has missed 91 games in the last three seasons, and I already knew Ronny played the majority of his minutes at center (he's only a 15-17 minute a night guy though). To reiterate: I think it would be safer to say that Bynum will get around 25 mpg, thus a statline of 9/7/~2 makes sense. Although, I'll stick by my 28 mpg prediction because I expect some real improvement. <div class="quote_poster">bronbron23 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Because he will focus more on scoring</div> Ok, so Bynum is going to average 10 points a game in only 18 minutes (that is basically how many minutes he would play if he were to only average 5 boards)? Seems unlikely.
