What to Expect When You're Expecting

[bLACKpANTHER]

 

What are your EXPECTATIONS for the Hornets this year??

What do you EXPECT our starters to average??

What do you EXPECT our Overall Record to be??

-----------[ 2016 stats ]----------------------------------------------------

Kemba: 23 ppg, 5.5 apg, 4 rpg, 3pt shot = .399%

Batum: 15 ppg, 6 apg, 6 rpg, 3pt shot = .333%

MKG: 9 ppg, 1.5 apg, 7 rpg

Marvin: 11 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 3pt shot = .350% 

Howard: 13 ppg, 13 rpg, 1.2 bpg

Bench: 50 ppg, 20 rpg, 10 apg, 3pt shot = .327%
(Frank, Belinelli, Cody, Lamb and Sessions)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add it All Up and What Do You Get = 120 ppg, 23 apg, 57 rpg, 3pt shot = .352%
Compared to 2016 actual numbers = 105 ppg, 23 apg, 44 rpg, 3pt shot - .350%

Our PPG and RPG shoot up because of Dwight.

------------[ Expectations ]----------------------------------------------------

Kemba: 20 ppg, 7 apg, 3.5 rpg, 3pt shot = .400%
His points will dip, but assists will go up from lobbing it up to Howard - Potential Allstar again

Batum: 17 ppg, 8 apg, 5 rpg, 3pt shot = .375%
I think his points will slightly improve because the wide open kick-outs create by defenses collapsing on Howard.

MKG: 10 ppg, 1 apg, 5 rpg
If ever there were a year where he needs to make his presence known - this is it. Don't hold your breath.

Marvin: 13 ppg, 6 rpg, 3pt shot = .355%
His reb #'s will dip because of Howard but his wide open 3pt shot selection will improve - he just has to make them.

Howard: 15 ppg, 13 rpg, 1.5 bpg
Dwight is basically being asked to play to his strengths here. Gobble up the boards, put backs dunks and rim protect. If Kemba and Batum can figure out how to work with Dwight - look out.

Bench: 50 ppg, 23 rpg, 15 apg, 3pt shot = .350%
If we can keep the same production from our bench as last year - with a bit more consistency - I will be more than happy.. Monk, Frank and Lamb have to improve their 3pt shot % (especially Lamb = .281%).

------------[ Team Expectations ]------------------------------------------------

Overall Record: 45 win team, 4-5 seed in the Playoffs with a 2nd round exit.

I could see the Hornets winning 50+ games if all things pan out.  If it hits rock bottom I could see us picking top 10.

Not everybody will be playing all 82 games. Dummy 

 

if you look at GSW players stat, they probably averaged out 300 points per game

Typically you have a 9 or 10 man rotation, so the total of all the players doesn't much exceed the total PPG of the team.

if I told you MKG did avg. over 12pts a game and shot over .400% from 3pt range,
would you flip out..?

[Carl Spackler]

I think 78-4 is reasonable
