How many wins this yr with current roster?

yeah, that's me! good to see you here!

 

I'm looking at DWade.

His rookie year (age 21-22- approx same age as Dame), he put up 16-5-4 in 35 mpg. He jumped to 24-7-5 in his sophomore year in 39 mpg. His biggest improvement was due to 4 increased FT attempts per game. If Dame can climb up from 19-7-3 in 39 mpg to 22-8-3 in some fewer minutes, he will be an all star and we will win a ton of game.

As a comparison, Roy went from 16-4-4 in 35 mpg his rookie year to 19-5-6 in 38 mpg his sophomore year. With this improvement, we only went from 32 wins his rookie year to 41 his second. I'm hoping for a bit better from Dame and this team.

 

I wonder how much an improved team and bench will play into those number but I am all for the "Wade Jump" if you will

 

But Roy has less of a supporting cast. We will surprise a lot of people this season. If Roy was on the stacked team now; we'd have more than 41 wins, IMO.

 

65-17

 

40 wins.

 

We are a better team overall this year......much improved bench and I think Lopez is a slight upgrade over Hickson, especially on D. We were on pace for about 45-47 wins last year until the minutes started showing and Batum got hurt.

High/low for me is 50-45. However, I could see a 55 win season if Batum, TRob, Claver, and Leonard blossum/breakout.

 

I can see ten wins improvement ... 43 wins. Final answer.

 

As of now, without knowing what other teams have done, +7-10 games on whatever we notched last season.

 

I'm looking at 7th or 6 seed, which is usually around 48 wins, so that's my prediction, 48.

 

We were 33-49. Considering the tank towards the end of year I'd say +7-10 is a safe bet. It's still early, but it appears the west has gotten weaker, or at least more top heavy.

 

Even though it appeared to be a "tank", the schedule was such that there was a very good chance we would have lost all of those games even if we hadn't "tanked". Mid-season I was looking at the close to our schedule and knew that all the "Playoffs" talk was way premature and we'd come plummeting down to Earth. So I don't really buy into us being better than our record indicated.
I think we have a dramatically better roster already, but I don't know that it'll translate into a dramatically better record. Lillard and McCollum will hold the keys to whether we just meet, or exceed expectations.

 

I'm stepping back from my previous full mags answer, and going with 46

 

Pussy

 

Our starting 5 was better than our record indicated. The bench holds the keys to success IMO. And this second unit has got some real potential:

McCollum/Watson
Barton/Crabbe
Wright
Robinson
Leonard

 

Shit, that team probably destroys our starting unit from the Telfair days lol

 

+5 wins....unless LMA is traded, then minus at least 5.

 

44 wins

 

0-82

 

Pain!!!!!!!!
