KPjr Total - points/assists/rebounds - 28 OVER or UNDER?

I’m guessing 16/7/4 (27), but I’m an optimist, so I’ll say OVER.

 

It is possible. Normally I'd say the 7.5 assist is a bit high. With Green and Jabari catch n' shoot, that might not be out of reach.

 

Under, but not because I think he's going to take a step back. There will be more young talent to work into the rotation, and ideally, I think we'd want Green and Sengun initiating more of the offense than they did last year. Something like a more efficient 17/5/4 seems right with him taking fewer shots and a lower usage rate.

 

I’m interested in seeing what he shows next season

Between Green probably wanting the ball more & Sengun playmaking I’m curious to see how Silas runs the system. I’d imagine they’d want to capitalize on KPJ’s insane catch n shoot %

 

He was at just over 26 this season.

26.2 on his nba.com page.

 

I think if Green continues to play well, Smith comes in shooting well, and Sengun keeps doing Sengun things, the gravity of all of those players are going to make the game MUCH easier for KPJ to feast both scoring and creating.

I'm more excited about this team than I have been about a Rockets team in a very long time.

 

His magic area is 18/ 10/ 7.
I think he can do 22/12/8 because of how he finished off last season.

 

This is a really interesting question. If he’s healthy, and he plays enough minutes, I’d probably take the over.

 

I think KPJ will be 20.2, 6.8, 5.7

 

PPG will go up, Assists will go up, rebounds will stagnate.

Good to see you positive about the team

 

I can’t remember the last time I was this hyped about a season. Even the CP3/Harden season

 

That makes two of us
Go Rockets!

 

Over or under:

KPjr dribbles off his own knee and then falls over 3 times per game?

 

You should add a poll. I'll say barely under 15/5/6 ...

 

There's how much he can do, vs how much might turn out to be best -- he's capable of volume stats, say if he turned into a Wood type, a type that hurts the team -- alternatively, on a different team than Houston, maybe his ceiling someday is even Rox Beard lite, an objectively good type. Don't think we need that so much on this team, either...

Gotta hope KPJ, Silas etc figure out how to maximize him with THIS team... I like the idea of finding his best role as a starter, but there's nothing wrong with being a perennial 6moy candidate player either, ask EG and Lou W. Or Clarkson...

SHARE playmaking with Alpi and Jalen a lot, keep hitting those catch and shoot 3s, feast on second units as a scorer, finish games so you can keep hitting dagger shots... Ride with those defense vibes Bari n Tari bring, make that more consistent... What else? Keep doing what you and Jalen were doing when Wood was out! Ignore any internal inconsistencies in what I'm saying... Be careful who you listen to on CF... You get what you pay for.

Imagine the good problem we'd have if the team became so good that we had KPJ and Sengun heading up our bench (!)
