Who will lead the Spurs in Scoring Next Year?

[BillMc]

Thoughts?

[HarlemHeat37]

Aldridge, easily..

[south side spur]

Aldridge, easily..

[cutewizard]

we have the supreme offensive power forward in Aldridge

we have the supreme defensive forward in Leonard


best frontline in the NBA???

[cutewizard]

one of you guys should now make an analysis of the Spurs

vs the Thunder

vs the Warriors

vs the Cavs

vs the Rockets

[BillMc]

we have the supreme offensive power forward in Aldridge

we have the supreme defensive forward in Leonard


best frontline in the NBA???

Yep. All 3 of them are potential All-NBA players.

[SpursFan86]

Probably Aldridge. But this brings up an interesting aspect of this: as much as a lot of us wanted to see Kawhi truly break out offensively and be a 20+ ppg scorer, this signing will help him not exert so much effort offensively and continue to focus playing DPOTY-caliber defense...which is really important IMO. If I had to throw out a rough estimate of things...

Aldridge: 20-22 ppg
Kawhi: 17-19 ppg
Parker: 14-16 ppg
Duncan: 12 ppg
Green: 12 ppg

[spursparker9]

No more iso for kawhi

[Jabba]

Matt Bonner

[PingPong]

Who will lead the scoring I'm not sure. But the shooting will be Porker.

[Blizzardwizard]

In before

"Porker? :lmao Leader in scoring other players' wives maybe."

[SnakeBoy]

Tony 24ppg while taking 50-60 shots per game

Yeah, those numbers look pretty good. If Kawhi doesn't have as much offensive responsibility he should have energy for the usual havoc on D. He and Danny both.

We have potentially the best frontcourt in the NBA, and the best pair of defensive wings in the NBA! Yikes!

[HarlemHeat37]

The floor spacing for Kawhi is going to be crucial for him, though..

His offensive game has always thrived when playing with Diaw rather than the Splitter/Duncan frontcourt..Aldridge + Green spacing the floor should be nice for Leonard in the post and on the attack..

[Mr. Body]

My man David West.

[mardigan]

Aldridge, easily..

Not even sure there is a second choice

[cutewizard]

if West arrives, should Boris Diaw play more point forward??

in which case, he should slim down.....

[Russo21]

Can not wipe the smile off my face. I was excited about the possibility but tried so hard to not get my hopes up. I can not believe this just happened!!! LMA to SA Fuck yes!!!

[FaM0us Skins]

Aldridge

[itsamanuthree]

:lol

Seriously tho, if Parker is the top scorer, I think that will mean we had a great regular season and an early playoff exit.

[south side spur]

Let's hope if that role presents itself it will be Slo Mo fulfilling it. He has to contribute this season he has too much ability not to

[SASdynasty!]

:lol

Or we win a championship like we did with him as the top scorer in 2014.

[jhfenton]

Definitely, Aldridge. SpursFan86's estimates were pretty good.

[itsamanuthree]

Or we win a championship like we did with him as the top scorer in 2014.

Maybe we win again despite him, sure, maybe we do.

It's getting tougher tho as he keeps on gaining weight and loosing commitment to the team.

[BillMc]

Definitely, Aldridge. SpursFan86's estimates were pretty good.
Agreed.

[TheGreatYacht]

Voted for Tony

[ducks]

i bet tp d improves next year because he will only need to average around 10 points a game
leonard 19
alridge 23
duncan 10
tp 10
green 10
diaw 10

that is alot of points

I wouldn't be surprised to see TP lead the team in scoring. I think he's going to shut a lot of people up and have a Manu-esque comeback.

[ffadicted]

I'm hoping it's Aldridge, unless Kiwi decides to become lebron james and put up 25+ a night lol

[Mr Bones]

The best case scenario is that Aldridge leads the team in scoring and the shooting efficiencies of Leonard, Diaw, and Parker go up.

Other reasonable things on the wish list:
Kawhi continues to improve his (already improved) ball-handling and logs some time as Point Forward.
Parker doubles his three point attempts and hits them at a good rate of 37+%.
Cojo surprises everyone and signs a short contract to stay with Spurs and cash in on the salary cap rising in 2017.
