MKG 2014 stat projections

PacerPride31 · Post #1 » by **PacerPride31** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 2:44 am

Does something like 14 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1.5 SPG, 1 BPG sound realistic for his 2nd season?

May be a tad too high with the scoring since you guys added Jefferson and Zeller?

I would say something along the lines of 12 PPG, 7 Reb, 3 Ast per game, which is close to what Andre Igoudala averaged in his second season. I think Kidd-Gilchrist will eventually be a biggerr, better version of Iggy.

I'd be elated if he averaged 14 a game. All the other stats are very much realistic, but I'd put his points in the 10-12 range until he gets an average jump shot. When/if he ever learns how to shoot the league better watch out.

12.5ppg, 7rpg, 2.2apg, 1.2stls, 1.5blks

I actually think he'll break out a little this year, don't know why. I think the jumper will develop enough that defenses have to at least pretend to honor it, which will open up his game tremendously against bad defenders. Some 20 point games and some <10 pt games, depending on match ups.

I'll say: 13 PPG, 7 RBG, 3 APG, 1 SPG, 1 BPG.

Gerald Wallaces first year in Charlotte he averaged 11.5/5.5 with 1.3 blocks and 1.7 steals (may have last two reversed)
With 2apg. I see MKG doing that with 6.5 rpg instead of 5.5. He will have his moments that amaze us like the facial on Monroe last year, and he will have his air balls. But he will play his ass off just like young Crash did as well. And that's why I like him

MKG never averaged more than 28 MPG in any month last year. Do you guys see him logging above 30 MPG consistently?

Thats basically what I have projected for him this year. As long as make sure he stays within himself, he should have a successful year. At the beginning of the season he posted some nice numbers just by driving to the bucket and capitalizing on transition points in the fast break game. Once Dunlap took his minutes away and teams just guarded the paint, his game dried up. I hope he can get a nice jumpshot heading into the season which will make opposing defenses respect him and open up the lane again. If that happens, I could see MKG making a nice jump i production

I agree, Dunlap seriously restricted his minutes for inexplicable reasons last year. Seeing as we only have two true small forwards on the roster, I can't really see MKG playing less than 30 MPG

11.2ppg, 7.2rpg, 2.3apg, 1.5spg, 1.1bpg, 2.0topg, 47%/25%/77% in about 32mpg. He'll show significant improvement on his jumper, becoming a decent mid-range shooter but still having a three-point shot comparable to younger Hendo. He'll start to make some strides on defense and in his post game. Plus he'll be playing less as a SF/PF and more as a SF/SG with all the frontcourt depth we now have. This gives him a size advantage, because most wings aren't 6'7 240lbs+ nor do they have his length. We're going to see a plenty more confident MKG on both ends of the court and he isn't going to be suppressed by our coach. I'm excited to see MKG getting to rim more often with respectable frontcourt teammates.

JMAC3 · Post #15 » by **JMAC3** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 4:22 am

I think something like 13.2 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 2.8 apg, 1.3 spg and 1.1 bpg.

Rebounding is something I see him struggling to get over 7 boards a game, because between Zeller and Jefferson their should be less rebounds available for him to grab. I really want to see him in more a playmaking role from the point forward spot.

12/7/2/1/1 with elite defense 1-4.

Criminally underrated prospect.

Honestly, we're all putting him right in the same neighborhood. From the projections I've seen:

11-14 ppg/ 6.5-8 rpg/ 1-2 apg/1-1.5 spg

I'm glad no one on this forum has too high of expectations for the kid, but what if he does come out and surprise the league? That honestly wouldn't be too much of a shock to me either. MKG is such a wildcard at this point, he could come out of the gates guns-a-blazin, but then again he could come out clanking iron, Idk.

Elden Payton · Post #18 » by **Elden Payton** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 12:56 pm

I think MKG has a bit more seasoning to go before he averages more than what people are projecting.

His jumper limits his offensive output at this stage and his role will do the same.

I still think he's going to be a star though..

LamarMatic7 · Post #19 » by **LamarMatic7** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 1:12 pm

I agree with Sik Infant. I predict that his stats won't change that much.

EwingSweatsALot · Post #20 » by **EwingSweatsALot** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 8:21 pm

11 ppg, 7 boards, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.

I think his PPG will go up for the simple fact I think he will be more aggressive and get in the lane more. Resulting in more layups are just getting to the free throw line a time or two more a game. Boards go up a little because from what Clifford has said he is trying to get MKG to crash the boards harder this year. He was 2nd in TRB% last year at the SF position for guys that played over 1100 minutes. I would think that would increase some which would bump up his rebounds as well as playing more minutes. Assists to stay around the since the offense really won't run through him anymore than it did last year. Blocks and steals a small increase. Plus defender, but that doesn't always transfer into a huge bump in those stats.
