Who would be the best candidate to average 20/10? (points/rebounds)

I know most likely no one in this draft will average those numbers but if their was one guy to do it I'd say Alex Len would be that guy which is why he's been getting a lot of stock lately. The guy can rebound, and score the ball with basic mid range jumpers and can actually knock down his three throws unlike Noel which is coming more important because of these "Hack-a-Bigman" trends.

Noel to me seems more of one dimensional type player on the defensive side averaging 15/12/3 at his prime while Len is a more well rounded player.

Anthony Bennett if he can be an effective rebounder at the next level.

Averaging 20 PPG as a big is REALLY hard.

While Noel isn't as big a stiff on offense and some seem to think, he isn't a scorer. Neither is Adams (who I think is the #2 big in the draft).

I think Zeller is the most likely, followed by Bennett... but both are pretty unlikely.

I can see Len being a good 2-way player, but he averaged 17 pts / 40 minutes in college. Hard to imagine him getting 20 PPG in the NBA.

I could see Olynyk or Zeller getting up to 17/8 or 18/7, but I can't see anyone else getting close to 20/10. Len's offensive game is not good and I don't believe believe Bennett will get the minutes necessary.

Bennett is the only guy with a potential ceiling that could be 20 and 10.

Bennett w/ LONGSHOT chance to Len, Olynyk, Kadji, Carmichael

Len isnt going to average more than 14-16ppg

Olynyk is a back-up, Kadji would be out of the league in 2-3 years.

Carmichael can't shot.

You can sig it if you want, but I'd say I really like Muscala for a 20/10 guy. He's smart, reasonably skilled, and rebounds well. The rebounds should at least translate reasonably well, even for a small school guy (Faried was a smaller school, not this small), and I think he should be capable of the scoring if he plays.

Bennett all day gets my vote. I wouldn't say anyone else has that kind of 20 PPG potential.

Realize NOBODY averaged 20-10 in the NBA this year. Not one player.

Bennett and Zeller are the only prospects capable of averaging 20-10

I forgot to include him in my longshots as well

no

None of them realistically.

Bennett has a shot if he pans out. Don't see anyone else with a realistic chance.

Like others have said, it's REALLY hard to average 20ppg as a pure big these days. LaMarcus Aldridge was the only PF/C to hit that mark last year.

Probably none.

Len looks like a 14-11 type guy. Bennett maybe 18-8 if he's in the right spot. Noel maybe 10-10. THe rest of those guys are rotational bigs that won't get enough minutes to come close.

Anthony Bennett --> Elton Brand 2.0

See him putting up 22ppg/11rpg/2bpg in 3-4 seasons!

maybe if he played hard and played physically i'd give him a chance, but he does neither.

Even if he do that I can't see those numbers, specially the blocks.

Maybe Bennett will be better on O than Elton, not sure, but there's no way he'll be the monster in D that Elton was/is.

Also it'll be wisely to remember that Brand isnt undersized, he's 6'9.5 in shoes with a monstrous 7'5.5 wingspan and a reach that could be great even for a Center, 9'2.

Brand was a stronger guy with a 260-270 frame.

Bennett is way far from that.

None. The closest one is Bennett but I don't see him averaging 20+ points and 10+ rebounds. 17 points 8 rebounds at most.

Bennett is the only big in this class with that kind of upside IMO. I'd be pretty shocked if he hit it though.
