TJ FORD..

[Jim Todd Jr.]

Raptor fan here, just wanted to get some info from you guys on your new pg...

firstly, what are your expectations from TJ this year?

subsequently, if he stays healthy, what would you be satisfied with numbers wise?

and lastly, how do you see the mpg being split between your point guards?

Personally, at 35+ mpg I think he has a legitimate shot to make the all star game even over our full time guy Calderon.... He has the type of pg skills that could net him 19 and 9 this year... depends on how much your coach reels him in on offense, and how much you run....

We're all real excited to have TJ here. We honestly believe he'll have adequate leverage to give himself a definitive shot at becoming an all-star here. He's got a lot of shooting options around him to help his assist count, and a multitude of options to spread the floor and allow him to focus on mid-range jumpers and attacking the hoop.

Numbers wise, a satisfactory effort of 16-8 would suffice to me, however i believe he's got all the tools to gain 19-9 stats this season. Injury concerns aside, he'll have free range to achieve some really solid numbers.

In terms of the rotation, imo i'd like to see him remain around 30mpg, i think he'll be a much more effective point is he has energy in the tank going down the stretch.

Jack and Diener (perhaps Daniels is in the mix) would make up the remaning minutes with perhaps Jack getting 10-12 at the point and 10-12 at SG. Diener would make up the remaining minutes when required.

i agree.... at 30 mins he should be about 16 and 8... and more effective down the stretch...
