voted comedy option "matt bonner"
One more vote for Blair and he'll have 21 and Timmy will have 45 haha. Irony.
I'm thinking Grizzly, although Tim is the safe bet.
Grizz should play 30mpg this year and he is a freakin beast on those boards!
No because players also have to play D. Doesn't matter if Blair grabs 10-12 rebounds if the other teams big men drops 40 points over his head. Duncan and Splitter should get more minutes than Blair. Dejuan should be the best rebounder per minute next season however.Quote:

Are we talking about RPG average or total rebounds? ie, do we need to factor in injury concerns and missed games?
Blair played every game last year and got a lot of opportunities. Meanwhile, Duncan sat out quite a few games due to sore knees or whatever. It makes a difference.
I did say at the beginning to factor in injuries, MPG, etc.Quote:

This. I picked Blair with the proviso that he will play 25-30 minutes CONSISTENTLY throughout this season. His rebounding rate is absolutely ridiculous and he's only going to improve this year.Quote:

The regular season big-man minutes will be divided something like this (playoffs will probably mean almost no minutes for beastie)
Duncan 26
Bonner 22
McDyess 18
Splitter 20
Blair 8
Jefferson 2
Finley 20... (In Pop's dreams)
If Blair was a 30+mpg player, he could probably rival Duncan's rebounding numbers.
went with Timmy

Don't let your blind rage towards Pop and I stand in the way of clear logic though. :rolleyes
I think Blair will start - whether at the beginning of the season or by midseason - but I think he will still only play 20-30 min per game and that Duncan will still edge him out in rebounding. I predict Duncan will average 10.2 rebounds and Blair will average 8-9 rebounds per game. Splitter will probably only average 10-15 min per game and average about 4-5 rebounds per game.
So, he is going to play less than he did last year?! You are an extremely silly person.Quote:

He will probably miss time due to injury and he will definitely sit out just to get more rest. For comparison's sake, George Hill went from 16.5 mpg to 29.2 between his first and second years. Granted, he got a lot of minutes because of injuries to Manu and Tony but Blair should still see a bump in his mpg to be around 25 this season. I expect Tim to play less than 25 mpg and I expect him to play less than 70 games.Quote:

The rebounding load shifted to Tim Duncan. Expect the same with Dejuan Blair and Tiago this season. Even legends get old at some point.Quote:
