    He could end up getting 24 ppg this year if Oden has a decent passing game. Aldridge is gonna tear it up.

    If he can drain that three point shot regularly he is gonna tear things up.

    He already tore it up in the Fan Fest while playing with Oden..I expect some more this season.

    I'm a big Aldridge fan and all, but I'll temper those fan fest results knowing that without Channing, there was nobody who could come close to guarding him. With Ike on him, those dominating numbers are pretty expected.

    Plus, I'd be hesitant to put too much stock into what somebody does at a fan fest while playing half assed ball against their teammates.

    That's reasonable, but the fact is that LMA looks much more fluid with his moves, his handle looks tighter, and he's been widely considered the most impressive guy in training camp so far. Greg's presence is really going to help him this year.
