Why is everyone expecting little from Ariza(ok 15-16ppg isn't little) but he can prove to do alot with adelman's fast paced player friendly system.
Man, I actually thought about this--and realized I can't even predict what this year's roster's gonna be.
I just put down the top 10... Regular season: Tmac - 19 ppg ( from after ASG ) Brooks - 18 ppg Scola - 17 ppg Ariza - 15 ppg Andersen - 9 ppg Landry - 13 ppg Battier - 7 ppg Lowry - 7.5 ppg Taylor- 5 ppg Budinger - 7ppg Playoff Yao - 22 Tmac - 35 Brooks - 14 Scola - 12 Ariza - 17 Landry - 15 Battier - 9 Lowery - 7 Anderson - 5 Taylor - 6 NBA Final Yao - 35 Tmac - 29 Brooks - 13 Scola - 12 Ariza - 15 Landry - 11 Battier - 9 Lowery - 9 Anderson - 4 Tayler - 2
do you really think the rockets are only going to score 74 points a game???? Dont forget that tmac will avg at least 22 ppg when he comes back..that gives us 96ppg....more reasonable...dont you think?
Brooks- 19.8 ppg Scola - 16.5 ppg Ariza - 13 ppg Landry - 12.5 ppg Budinger - 9.9 ppg Battier - 9.8 ppg Lowry - 9.5 ppg Taylor- 8.9 ppg Andersen - 6.3 ppg Pops - 3.5 ppg Dorsey - 2.4 ppg Hayes - 2.3 ppg McGrady? 24.6 All of these players will not play 82 games. Their scoring averages are for games played individually. Adding up all the individual averages will not give you the team's scoring average. So, yeah I do not believe the team will score 130 points a game or whatever this adds up to..
1.) Scola 16.8 ppg 2.) Brooks 14.3 ppg 3.) Landry 10.8 ppg 4.) Ariza 10.2 ppg 5.) Budinger 9.1 ppg 6.) Lowry 8.2 ppg 7.) Andersen 7.8 ppg 8.) Battier 7.4 ppg 9.) Mensah-Bonsu 6.2 ppg 10.) Taylor 5.3 ppg 11.) White 3.9 ppg 12.) Hayes 2.7 ppg 102.7 ppg
scola 18.x ppg brooks 16.x ppg ariza 13.x ppg - he's not going to be averaging more than 15 ppg anderson - 8.x ppg tmac will come back with 23.x ppg
I doubt it. Lowry doesn't look to score as much as AB and he's not a good shooter. His career high was 9.6 ppg two seasons ago, but he was also a part-time starter in Memphis. Plus like you said, being a more traditional point guard, he will look to set up his teammates rather than score a lot of points.
1.) Scola 15.5 2.) Brooks 13.9 3.) Ariza 10.2 4.) Anderson 4.5 5.) Battier 7.0 6.) Landry 9.8 7.) Pops 2.5 8.) Buddinger 2.0 9.) Lowry 9.0 10.) Taylor .5 11.) Dorsey .5 12.) Hayes 3.5 13.) McGrady 22.2
Scola played with Yao, Tmac, and Artest more and also Brooks last season...he was usually the 4th scoring option. Landry off the bench is was only behind Wafer as a scoring option...more opportunities for him to score in his short time on the court than Scola playing with the starters.
