Ant: 26/3/6 - achievable imo. Getting 6apg is probably going to be the easy part for him, he was getting around that many without Dame in the lineup. Ant will probably get around 20 fga, I want ant to go out shooting 12 3s a game and aim for 40%, which would be 5 makes a game. If he up’s his ftm to 4 a game, he’ll be in the 26ppg ballpark or even higher.
Ayton: 22/11/2 - If he gets 16 fga and makes 57% of them, and up’s his ftm to 3, he’ll be at 21.24ppg (at 18 fga, he’ll be at 23.5ppg assuming everything else stays the same). I would hope he gets to 12+rbg because he’s capable of that, but I’d be happy with a small uptick to 11.
Grant: 22/5/3 - maybe a small uptick in everything but his role stays largely the same. Hoping for more 3s. I think we have the right players to really launch that many 3’s up a night.
Scoot: 16/4/7 - I think 16 is a good number to aim for. Assuming 44% on 14 fga, he would have to get a combination of 4 3’s and ftm. I think 14 fga is really enough for Scoot, I would rather he explore creating for others. If he averaged 10 apg year 1, I’d be REALLY excited.
Sharpe: 15/4/3 - I didn’t really put much thought into it because he’s a wild card to me. Between struggling on defense, turnovers, still learning to process the game quickly, getting yanked early, 15 ppg sounded unrealistic. I guess it’ll really depend on when Brogdon is traded. I think Sharpe will score and handle the ball more when that happens.
