Scoring Averages For This Year

[UCLJ0211]

We’ve had prediction threads for W/L record and starting lineup, figured I would start a prediction thread for how many points do you think each player will average?

I’ll predict the following (rounded to whole #s):

Sanogo: 15 PPG
Hawkins: 12 PPG
Newton: 10 PPG
Jackson: 9 PPG
Alleyne: 8 PPG
Johnson: 6 PPG
Karaban: 5 PPG
Diarra: 5 PPG
Calcaterra: 3 PPG
Clingan: 3 PPG
Springs: 2 PPG
Hasson and Roumoglou: Under 1 PPG each

We averaged 75 PPG last year and assuming we play a little faster and have more shooters I’m predicting we average closer to 78-79 PPG this year.

I predict 75% of responses have us averaging 100+ points per game. Now for the guess:

Sanogo 15 ppg
Hawkins 13 ppg
Newton 11 ppg
Jackson 8 ppg
Alleyne 8 ppg
Karaban 7 ppg
Diarra 6 ppg
Johnson 6 ppg
Clingan 5 ppg
Calcaterra 4 ppg
Springs 2 ppg
Hasson / Romologou 0 ppg

That adds up to 85 ppg, I expect us to average high 70s, and Springs/Calcaterra won't get in every game so those numbers are inflated. For reference we averaged 75 ppg last year, but our 12 scholarship guys averaged 83 if you add them up

If Hawkins averages 12 ppg we are in trouble. He needs, i repeat NEEDS to average 15 and Sanogo 18-20 which is doable.

That assumes there are no injuries and ad we know that is very unlikely

 

[REB1094]

I feel like I’m going to be way off, but:
Sanogo: 16
Newton: 14
Hawkins: 13
Jackson: 9
Alleyne: 7
Johnson: 5
Karaban: 5
Diarra: 5
Calcaterra: 3
Clingan: 2
Everybody else <1

I agree with this assuming it doesn’t include the Big East Tournament

 

[AntG168]

I think Hawkins, Sanogo, and Jackson combine for 42-45ppg. Something along the lines of Sanogo 17, Hawkins 15, and AJax at 10-12. Newton is the wild card, if he is legit we’ll be a top 12 team. Everyone else will average 8 and below

 

[UCLJ0211]

If Hawkins averages 12 ppg we are in trouble. He needs, i repeat NEEDS to average 15 and Sanogo 18-20 which is doable.

We have much more depth this year that I’m not sure anyone will average close to 20 PPG.

 

[EBonz30]

If Hawkins averages 12 ppg we are in trouble. He needs, i repeat NEEDS to average 15 and Sanogo 18-20 which is doable.

Yea I think we will be looking at Hawkins averaging around 15.0 ppg or more.

 

[REB1094]

If Hawkins averages 12 ppg we are in trouble. He needs, i repeat NEEDS to average 15 and Sanogo 18-20 which is doable.

I think Hawkins could average 15+ if he had to, and he’d easily be a first round NBA pick if he did. But the offense will run through Sanogo, and Newton is the PG.

Newton won’t average 17 a game again, playing with more offensive talent and against tougher competition, but him and Hawkins are sharing shots in the backcourt. Last year RJ/Sanogo/Tyrese were all between 13-16. Will probably be similar this year with Sanogo/Newton/Hawkins

If Hawk got all the shots he wanted, he might be able to do 15-18. But he won’t get all the shots

We are now officially the 1982 Denver Nuggets!

 

[Mister P]

Sanogo..17 & 10+ rpg
Newton..14
Hawkins..14
Jackson..10

Everyone else pitching in another 23-25 ppg.

Not quite 84? I still remember the game where they put up 184 points that season... and lost.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Sanogo 18 ppg
Hawkins 22 ppg
Newton 15 ppg
Jackson 20 ppg
Alleyne 12 ppg
Karaban 12 ppg
Diarra 6 ppg
Johnson 6 ppg
Clingan 10 ppg
Calcaterra 12 ppg
Springs 6 ppg
Hasson / Romologou 2 ppg

Most definitely.

However, as the clock runs down, the emphasis will shift to preserving the lead with defensive stops, protecting the ball from turnovers, and made free throws, which could shave 50% off those numbers.

You either fat fingered Jackson's scoring average or have clowned yourself again.

Jackson may very well be UConn's best player and most valuable player but he's going to do that as the 3rd leading scorer at best.

Prettttty sure it was a joke

 

[Kenny11]

Jackson has to average double figures this year. I think Sanogo will be around 18, Newton and Hawkins around 14.

 

[HooperScooper]

Prettttty sure it was a joke

You mean the team isn't going to average over 140 ppg? Damn, I was looking forward to that potentially happening! Lol

 

[BuffaloHusky]

I think if Jackson averages over 12, we are Sweet 16 or Elite 8 type team. If so, that will mean he added something significant to his offensive game and/or is going to the free throw line consistently. Either situation will make everyone else's offense easier and the result should put us in the top 20 in offensive metrics.

What you don't think we can average 140? Why do hate the Huskies so much?

 

[XLCenterFan]

Adama will average a double double. Jackson might as well.

How many times will Adama go for 30/20?
