What to Expect When You're Expecting

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.

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
