Predicting 2023-2024 stats of the current Rockets core (Sengun, Green, Jabari, Tari)

Current stats:



Obviously, there are a lot of uncertainties - whom will we draft, which free agents (who might be eating up a lot of usage and possession time) will we be getting, will we get rid of KPJ as we should.

This is assuming that we get a proper coaching staff next season and that the Silas clique will be gone.

I'm being an optimist here... but I think the talent is there. With proper coaching, they should all get better, and become more efficient.

Here are my guesses, assuming they will all make a step forward under proper coaching next season:

• Sengun will see an uptick in minutes and usage. He will get to 20 pts/12 rebs/6 asts/1 stl/1 blk, with elite efficiency, establishing himself as the SENHUB, the guy around whom our game will revolve.
• Green will slightly improve his efficiency and defense, improving his FG % to .430, his 3-point % to .360, his FT % to .800, with similar usage, assists and rebounds as now, increasing his scoring average to 24 PPG, becoming our leading scorer for years to come.
• Jabari will snap out of his funk and will find his shot - FG % to .420, but he will mostly shoot threes, and his 3-point % will be .380. He will get to 15 pts/ 9 rebs/2 asts/1 stl/1.5 blks, becoming what we hoped for this season already, while improving his defense, after having been told to stop barking at his teammates and instead focus on himself, by the new coach.
• Tari will continue being Tari, hustling all over the floor, for which we love him, but his minutes will go up to 24, he will practice layups, will improve his FG % to .460, will make 1 three per game at .360 3-point %, will grab 7 rebounds and will get 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, scoring 11 points per game.

Now, even if we don't get Harden and Wemby or Scoot - if you were just able to add a really solid, low turnover veteran point guard to this core, an exciting draft pick and another good veteran or two, and retain our other young guys, and they improve...I think this is a MUCH better team already than what we have seen this year.
