Thats pretty close to what I would hope for...

I would say a lil lower on the rebounding though:

16 ppg, 7 rpg, 1.5 steals, 3 assists, 48% fg

It all depends on how Thad is used. Thad right now isn't good enough to average 16ppg while in the flow of the game never having any plays called for him (30+minutes per night). Andre Iguodala isn't that good to accomplish that either. But if Thad is THE go to player, having plays called for him all throughout the game then 16 ppg is very possible.

If Thad starts next season at SF like he should then I see 12-13ppg and 7 rebounds. If somehow he gets treated as the focal point like Iggy has then I see 16 and 8 as well. Thad at PF will always be a part time player...

14 and 5.

13/5/.47% He could score more if he gets more touches or forces the action.

I guess a lot depends on what we get at PF this summer.

I see Thad getting more time at SF, which eventually will pay off- but next year he will have some growing pains as he learns to be effective farther away from the basket. It will temporarily hurt his FG% and lead to less reb and more TO's.

Give him 2 more years and I see 18/6/3/50% his 3rd or 4th season and maybe even better from there.

15 ppg /6 rpg /1.5 apg /1.5 spg @ 49% FG

It all depends whether he gets a regular starting spot. I could imagine that he will average something around 14/6/1.5 a game, if he gets the nod as our starting small/power forwards. Otherwise I would settle down the numbers at 11/5/1 or so.

Aren't 11/5/1 are about what he averaged the last 3 months of the season?

I think it depends a lot on the make-up of the team after the offseason. Without that factored in, and talking strictly personal improvemen? 15-16 pts and close to 10 boards. I think his rebounding blows up next year, personally

If Thad averages much more than 15 ppg, it probably means that the Sixers failed to add any significant PF in the offseason, which would be bad.

Realistically, I think Thad is around 12-14 ppg with about 5-6 rpg next year as a starting SF on a (hopefully) good team. As long as he keeps his FG% high and expands his game in a few areas (better outside shooting, ball-handling) I'd be thrilled.

That will be hard to do if he is playing more at SF. Do you see him as our full time PF next year?

I could see Thad going for 14 and 6 next year. As many have mentioned, whether or not we add a bonafide starting PF next season will be a determinant on his rebounding numbers.

Johnny Broad-Street · Post #14 » by **Johnny Broad-Street** » Mon May 5, 2008 4:52 pm

TK, I don't see him at PF, but I see him becoming even more active around the rim, and I don't see us shooting an insanely higher percentage, so I see him thriving on put-backs and follow dunks and things like that, in addition to whatever sets are called for him. I think his O boarding will improve.

On the defensive end, a strong PF presence could result in more Jumpshots and I could see Thad crashing harder and more often than when we allow cutters with only Sam to patrol.

All speculation of course. But I could see rebounding going up for our guards and forwards across the board

If they give him the ball he is. I think he showed that in the playoffs.

honestly i think it was more about detroit not respecting his offense than thad taking the game into his hands. i think hes gonna be special but just not next season. about the same numbers as this season. i hope he proves me wrong!
