    I have this feeling Aldridge is going to have a breakout year. Who's with me?

    I think he grabs over 10 boards

    I think he scores over 20 points

    I think he blocks over 1.5 shots

    I think he dishes over 2.5 assists

    I think 20 points is too high. I don't think he'll play that many minutes.

    I'd rather he averaged 18-10 than 21-9 because he won't have to.

    Yeah I was thinking 18-19 for a bit; thinking it would be from less playing time and need. I just think this year will be truly monster in production. This maybe the first season he breaks the 10 rebound mark. He's been looking to block shots too.

    18.5 and 10+. I think we've got a lot of guys this year that can shoot the rock, and he won't have to at the clip he shot them last year. It'll drop a little, probably to his career average of 15 per game, and he'll get a few extra rebounds while playing with Lopez.

    Wouldn't suprise me. Think it could be for both he and Nic. Sure liked what Nic did the other night versus GS.

    I think 22/10 is very possible. Aldridge will have the luxury of not having to "pace" himself during games this season due to actually having a backup.
