    I doubt Durant gets 8 RPG, probably more like 5.5-6.0. Amen may reach 10 RPG, I’m thinking assists for Sengun will probably be around 6. I think the 3Pt % will be switched between Amen and Sengun. Points about right.

    You've got the wrong big 3.

    It's actually Durant / Sengun / Sheppard

    No problem.


    Side note: Durant is about to open up the offense for everyone. Can't wait to see the spacing on the floor with a bonafide super star who can shoot lights out every night.

    So you think Amen is going to jump to 35%?
    Alp doesn’t make any jump?

    Yea, I might have to re-consider the Alpi part. I do think his 3pt% will be better. I think it is more important for him to quit hesitating and let if fly and more importantly than anything else he needs to get his touch back in the lane. I generally think that Amen is more of a gym rat and improvements will be faster than Sengun who I think has a fine work ethic, but Amen is insane when it comes to basketball training. If both can get to 35% and Jabari to 40% we will win the championship.

    He said to switch them. So if Thompson goes to 35% and Sengun goes to 32%, then Sengun would have a slightly larger improvement over last year than Thompson.

    Sengun shot 23.3% last year. 32% would be a huge jump.

    Career wise, it would be a much larger jump for Amen.
    Alp career average is basically Amens season last year.

    Recent history doesn't count? Sengun's fg% career wise was also much higher than what he gave us last year.

    With the incredibly low volume of 3pt shots, it wouldn't make any difference if they shot 100%. Nobody will alter their defense because a player might hit one 3 in a game.

    But you’re going to take the worst year of a player to say that’s the bigger jump?
    Context for sure matters.
    Sounds like you might have an agenda

    I think they all average about 19, 6, and 5.
    Durant might get to 21 ppg

    Durant 55 games
    Sengun 65 games
    Thompson 75 games

    Rockets win 59

    I think your projections are probably the most probable except for Alpi and Amen's PPG. We just have way too much talent for three players to score more than 22 ppg. Jabari, Tari and Reed should all be double-digit scorers as well. Aaron Holiday and DFS are likely to score 8 to 10 ppg. There just won't be enough shots to go around for Alpi to score 25 ppg and Amen to score 22. I agree with everything else. Even without FVV, I think we'll be awesome this season and I think Amen and Alpi will both receive All-NBA consideration at the end of the year.

    Wrong, the big 3 are Severo, the drummer with the face mask, and the bored bass player
