I'm interested to see everyone's opinion on what kind of individual stats that each suns player should put up this season.

Assume that the roster stays as is.

Sneaky Fantasy Pre-Draft Research for you here hey?

Sorry. I refuse to help out rivals.

Im going to base this on last years stats for some kind of perspective...Last year we averaged 95/42/23

Bledsoe 14/3/7
Dragic 18/2/5
Tucker 7/5/1
Markieff 8/5/1
Gortat 13/9/1

Marshall 4/1/4
Brown 7/2/1
Marcus 6/4/1
Scola 10/5/1
Len 8/6/1

= 95 points 42 rebounds 23 assists

My vision of how the stats will spread out based on last years average

If that holds true, we'll easily be the worst team in the league. Also, you forgot Frye. Though admittedly his comtribution is a total enigma at this point.

Pretty much guaranteed to be one of the worst teams next year, Philly probably has us beat for the title of worst though. Think most of us are not expecting much wins next year, besides the most hardcore Suns believers.

However, stat-wise, I'd rather look at PER, shooting percentages/TS%, etc. etc. It will help to see how effective our young guys are and hopefully see how well our guys feed off of each other. It also will help identify those players who put up useless numbers like Beasley who will probably have a few games putting up what looks to be impressive looking numbers, but will probably have terrible percentages.

I also enjoy how Dragic13 just flat out leaves Beasley out of the equation, that works for me too,

Well we wont be the best team in the league but I think we will be better than people expect. A good draft pick next year and if Goodwin develops well enough by next year we should be pretty solid. This year is all about development.

HAHA, wasn't even thinking of that, good idea though

Archie Goodwin: 37 ppg, 13 rpg, and 14 apg.


Doesn't matter what anyone else puts up.

I really hope that both Brown and Beasley are not in the rotation, therefore Goodwin should have a go for a lot of the season.

I'll give it a go:

Pts/Rbs/Ass/Blk/Stl

Dragic - 17/2/7/-/1.5
Bledsoe - 15/4/5/1/2
Butler - 12/3/2/-/.5
Kieff - 11/6/1/.8/1
Gortat - 13/9/1/1.7/.5

Goodwin - 5/2/2/-/.7
Tucker - 6/4/1/-/.7
Marcus - 7/3/1/-/.5
Scola - 10/6/1/-/.5
Len - 7/6/1/1/.8

That leaves Marshall, Brown, Beasley and Lee for Garbage time.
I think this team is gonna look very different in the second half of the season though.

I think predicting Bledsoe and dragic stats is going to be difficult. Dragic is easily a better distributor thus I think dragic assist number are going to out class bledsoes by at least 3-4 assists a games. The points per game may be level between the two. Obviously rebounding and steals favor Bledsoe.

We will be better then last season. I mean cmon down the stretch we tanked. We could of had more wins. Far from playoff team though

Agree with mitch for the most part

Dragic 16-4-6
Bledsoe 14-5-6
Butler 13-4-2
Kieff 10-6-2
Gortat 13-8

Beasley 9-3
Frye 9-4
Scola 10-6
Brown 7-2-2
Goodwin 7-2-3
Len....tough...I think 6-3 initially but after Gortat goes 10-7

If you think they tanked last year then why on earth would they not do it this year? There is a better draft class, both the coach and the GM have job security, our GM is anything but attached to this current crop of players.

I think McDonough is looking forward to tearing most of this roster down and building something in his own mold.

Oops I forgot about Frye. I'm interested to see how our power forward rotation works with morris, Frye and scola all being worthy.

They will not bother to get everyone minutes. Brown, Green, Beasley, Marshall, Marcus Morris and Frye (if he is healthy) will probably all be in and out of the rotation, with several of them almost never playing.

True!

I do hate tanking, and am intrigued with the Houston Rockets "asset-driven" rebuild, but 17 of the past twenty teams have won the title with a player drafted in the top 5 that turned into a franchise "corner-stone". The base fact of the matter is that you need to draft well, and draft in the top 5.


You want guys to play hard, to develop, but build your roster for the future. This roster is built for 25 wins, and we shouldn't pretend to be something we're not. We're rebuilding, we need a Wiggins or a Parker.
