Realistic Expectations For Relevant NBA Players 2017-18 

Post#1 » by Feel_the_Heat15 » Tue Jul 25, 2017 6:55 pm

Please no posts about Lakers' undrafted PF Ned Stark averaging 4 ppg.

I expect -

Jimmy Butler to become the Wolves' best player.

Embiid to play less than 60 games.

that Ball averages 8+ assists per game.

Fultz to struggle.

that Derozan has a down year.

Chris Paul and Harden to mesh well.

Jokic to become a top 3 center.

that Mitchell struggles offensively.

I'll make some more later on.

-Something funny about Jimmy Butler he doesnt seem like a leader. That stunt he and D Wade pulled is a red flag. I sense underachieving and potential turmoil.

-Russ dont gaf. Even with George he wont change his game and they will underachieve

-Paul and Harden will flow from day 1. #2 seed

Butler will most likely be the Wolves best player by a large margin.

I definitely think Fultz might have a tough time adjusting, more so than Ball. However I think he can develop to be a better player in a season or two. Something like 14/3/5 on 44% shooting would be a good rookie campaign for him.

- Giannis to be a serious MVP candidate
- if Beal stays healthy, takes another step forward and becomes a legit 25/4/5 type guy, a true franchise player

Jokic is already a top 3 center with a strong case for #1 btw

Well you got Embiid, Cousins Gobert and KAT atleast who can make a case for top 3.
