What do you think these guys can average in they're peak seasons? 1. Greg Oden 2. Kevin Durant 3. Brandan Wright 4. Yi Jianlian 5. Spencer Hawes 6. Joakim Noah 7. Al Horford 8. Corey Brewer 9. Jeff Green10. Roy Hibbert11. Mike Conley 12. Hasheem Thabeet13. Al Thornton14. Acie Law15. Thaddeus Young Should be interesting, you can give them PPG/RPG/APG/BLK's, anything you like.
I'm not a big stat guy, you guys know that, but this is an interesting topic and I'm bored as hell. So, here goes: 1. Greg Oden: 21 and 12 with 3-4 blocks 2. Kevin Durant: 30 and 11 potential 3. Brandan Wright: 19 and 9 4. Yi Jianlian: N/A 5. Spencer Hawes: 17/8/4 6. Joakim Noah: 10 and 9 with 2 blocks 7. Al Horford: 18 and 10 with 1-2 blocks 8. Corey Brewer: 16/5/4 with 2 steals 9. Jeff Green: 13/7/5 10. Roy Hibbert: 14/8 11. Mike Conley: 17/3/7 12. Hasheem Thabeet: Could be big time or 8 and 3. Hit or miss. 13. Al Thornton: 15 and 6 14. Acie Law: 14 points and 5 assists 15. Thaddeus Young: A lot of potential, but I'll predict 16/6/2 at best Also, no Julian Wright, BCB? Shame on you! 16. Julian Wright: 16/9/4 with close to 2 steals and 2 blocks
1. Oden - 23 points, 12 rebounds, 1.5 or less assists..he doesn't pass much to be honest, 3-4 blocks per game2. Durant 30+ points, 9-11 rebounds, 3 assists or less, 1.5-2 blocksI don't really wanna list every player's though..just Oden and Durant for now
I think Greg Oden has more offensive potential than most people give him credit for. I could definitely see him averaging 25ppg or so. I could see Mike Conley putting up 17/7 like CB32 said, but he's so young, who knows what his cieling is.
well it's not like 23 PPG is that bad but guys like TMac average like 25 PPG..Oden isn't really an explosive scorer and like Dwight Howard gets most of his points on putbacks and dunks but Oden does have some solid post moves

He put up 14ppg with another top 10 prospect on the team and another veteran scorer....he can nail the three, he's a very good athlete. People are still bashing him based off the stuff they heard the first month of the season.

Triggers the press defense well with his speed and quickness ... Great attitude, hard worker. Excels in the classroom with a 4.0 GPA ... His potential is incredible, but he still needs to gain confidence in his abilities and body strength</div>nbadraft.netAnd I know coming out of high school, one of his strengths was his work ethic. I'll try to find some links for that as well.
You're telling me not to believe what the sites and media says, but you are?That's pretty ridiculous.

Celticballa, you definatey underrated Acie Law. He can score the rock pretty well...He is definitely going to be able to put up more than 14 PPG.....He isnt a great passer for a PG, but he is better than that.

If he scores 15 or 16 one year, sue me. Acie Law can run an offense, by the way. Sure, he won't get 10 assists a night, but he holds his own.

Al Horford: 20ppg 9rpg 2bpg</div>Horford is a better rebounder than Noah is, so I definately think that Noah is going to have less rebounds per game than Horford come time for the NBA level. I also do not see Noah scoring any more than 10 points per game at any point in his career. He isn't bulky enough to get hardly any type of position to catch the ball and dunk, nor is he skilled enough to score away from the basket. I really don't see Noah putting on much weight either, he might put on some, but not enough to really bang alot down low. I like Noah because he's a Gator, but I do not see him doing much at all at the NBA level. In his prime I'm thinking maybe 8-9 points per game, and about as many rebounds per game.As for people putting Durant as having 11 rebounds per game, I don't see that happening either. I think he is to skinny and fraile, and with the way I think he is going to play in the NBA, I do not see him being in position very much in the NBA for the rebounds due to him playing away from the basket compared to how he plays in college. I'm thinking the 7 or 8 a game as being more around his rebounding statistics.
