Scoring Averages For This Year

[Chin Diesel]

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

How many times will Adama go for 30/20?

I'll go with zero.

 

[Jaydumo20]

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.

I think you hit it. If Jax is avg over 12 we are in great shape. My guess is that he will improve but there will be a fair share of negative critique about his whacky shooting style when we realize that it hasn't changed. That shot is my biggest concern with him. It seems too baked in to have changed much. I hope he can get his buckets on drives and at the line because I don't see a Caron Butler mid range jumper in his game

 

[Huskyforlife]

Sanogo-17
Newton-14
Hawkins-13
Jackson-10

I think we have a big 4 offensively. It’ll be interesting to see how many shots the rest of the team gets. I think it’s harder to project beyond these 4, cause you don’t really know how the rotation will shake out.

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.

Im OK with Sanogo being high scorer at 15 a game as long as 15 aren't on 28 shots.

 

[XLCenterFan]

I'll go with zero.

It's more than zero. I want to bet you.

That's a very high bar to cross, this is the full list in the last 12 seasons. You'll notice most guys on this list are not playing at P6 schools

Norris Cole doing it in a game seems about as likely as RJ Cole doing it in a game.

I know it is. I see it happening though. Maybe once.

Last year he had 26/18 vs. St. John's, 18/16 vs. SH, 24/15 vs. MQ, 20/16 vs. SH, 26/11 vs. DePaul.

He's going to be even more dominant this year. If one of our early cupcake games stays close, or he stays out of foul trouble in some big games...watch out.

 

[superjohn]

I wonder how many times Marvin Bad News Barnes did it at Providence. He probably could've averaged that for his career if he felt like it.

I was thinking he might have been close in the Auburn game and I looked it up and he had the 30 points but only 6 rebounds. How the heck did he only have 6 rebounds in that double OT game?

 

[Jaydumo20]

It's more than zero. I want to bet you.

I know neither of you personally, obviously, but I'm going to follow this bet. It's a very interesting prop

 

[gtcam]

IF the Hawk gets enough looks at the basket he can average at least 18 per game
With other teams keying on Sanogo and if Adama can pass out when being multi guarded it will be a field day for the shooters - hopefully it looks like UConn has a few now

 

[CTBasketball]

Sanogo: 14 PPG
Hawkins: 11 PPG
Newton: 10 PPG
Jackson: 10 PPG
Alleyne: 7 PPG
Johnson: 4 PPG
Karaban: 10 PPG

Calcaterra: 2 PPG
Clingan: 3 PPG
Springs: 1 PPG
Hasson and Roumoglou: Under 1 PPG each

Is it though?
The odds of him having a 30 pt game are even at best. The odds of him having a 20 rebound game are worse than even. The odds of both happening together are tiny, not to mention he probably only realistically has the cupcake portion of the schedule to do it in.

Id absolutely take that action for anyone who wants to put money on him doing it.

Oh, I don't want to bet. I'd put money on that he doesn't do it as well. I am just gonna watch for it because It feels that a good portion of the boneyard might agree with @XLCenterFan.
I am looking fwd to the year, but I am not as confident as some on here. I'd love them to be right.

 

[jibsey]

I don’t understand how Clingan who is well over 7’ gets an offensive rebound 1 foot from the basket and only scores 2 points a game unless he doesn’t play.

 

[Chin Diesel]

It's more than zero. I want to bet you.

Sure. Let's bet.

I bet Sanogo doesn't get 30 or more points and 20 or more rebounds in the same game.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Sanogo: 14 PPG
Hawkins: 11 PPG
Newton: 10 PPG
Jackson: 10 PPG
Alleyne: 7 PPG
Johnson: 4 PPG
Karaban: 10 PPG
Diarra: 6 PPG
Calcaterra: 2 PPG
Clingan: 3 PPG
Springs: 1 PPG
Hasson and Roumoglou: Under 1 PPG each

Good overall numbers. Somewhere around 80 ppg. I would distribute some of Karaban's points to Sanogo, Hawkins and Newton.

 

[ucp990411]

The 1994-95 team averaged 85 points a game, had Ray Allen, Donny Marshall, Doron Sheffer and Kevin Ollie with the pedal to the metal every opportunity. I can't see this year's team averaging 80 points. I could see something in the 75 - 77 range. That 94-95 team was so much fun to watch.

Last year's squad averaged 75, and next year's squad should be better than last year's squad. It's certainly possible

 

[80shusky]

Sanogo 17.425
Hawkins 40
Newton 10
Jackson 10.10
Allene 8.975
Rest of team 20.5

Edited to add: This is only against good teams. Bad teams we'll average 160 ppg.

 

[bmayuc]

Sanogo 18
Hawkins 14
Newton 12
Jackson 10
Alleyne 8
Johnson 7
No one else over 5 ppg

More players shooting 3's nowadays.

That 94-95 team would be lethal in today's game. Probably over 90 ppg.

 

[USNavyDog]

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

Jackson will most certainly not be averaging 9 points per game. No way he could possibly be a single figure game scorer. I predict Andre Jackson will way more points per game considering he is expected to be an NBA lottery pick nect year.

His average: 15 ppg

He can score a lot of ways. He’s a #1 or 2 guard in the NBA. His jump shot that level?
