Who scores- a typical night (once all are healthy)

[sofutomygaha]

Here's how I see how an average night might play out on offense this season. Love to know your thoughts.

PLAYER	MINUTES	POINTS
rondo	36	15
bradley	29	10
lee	21	6
brooks	10	4
(crawford)	0	0
green	36	18
wallace	21	8
sullinger	25	10
bass	25	10
humphries	25	8
ombre	6	2
olynyk	6	2

Actually, if you'd like to reply and suggest new numbers, I will put together a community projection

The other team.

[CelticG1]

Rondo is going to score a lot more.

Im guessing closer to 18ppg.

He'll need to and there won't be as many guys to pass the ball to.

He averaged almost 14 last year so I don't think its too crazy to expect the best player on the team to have a jump in points.

He'll get criticism either way. Hell be a 20 point scorer and you'll hear that ots cause he's on a crappy team. If his assists go down its because he doesn't have hall of famers. If his assists go up than he is just after the stats cause he knows they are going to lose anyway.

Plenty of ways people are going to bring him down

I think Rondo will score 18 and Olynyk will get 12 (potentially Jeff Green increased to 20) but other than that I agree with everything.

93 point total, right?

Good for the lowest in the 2012-13 season.

Thanks, Evantime34, but who do you think Olynyk takes his minutes from?

Six minutes for Olynyk?  Zero for Pressey?  Fire Stevens!

Five from Bass, Five from Humphries and 5 from Sullinger (his minutes will end up being limited early which will lower his mpg numbers on the year)

This is mostly a mash-up of scoring rates from recent years with a made-up allocation of minutes. I'm thinking we can probably dial Rondo, Green, and Sullinger up a tick because they'll have more scoring responsibility. Someone will have to break out

There is only one way to silence critics resoundingly, just win baby. No one will care how he leads the Celtics to victory as long as he does. I agree though I expect his best season yet at 18/11/6. To me the rebounds are the biggest indicator of how he is playing. When he is aggressive on the glass he usually is aggressive on offense.

Once Rondo is at full strength, how many minutes do you envision for Pressey (assuming it isn't a blowout... which may not always be a great assumption...)

[PhoSita]

So we're going to score 93 points a game?  Yikes.  I can't say I disagree with that sort of total. 

The most glaring issue I see with your breakdown is that Olynyk plays 6 minutes a game and scores 2 points a game.  I just don't see it working out that way.

Name . . .MPG . . . PPG
Rondo - 32 - 13 pts
Bradley - 30 - 10 pts
Green - 36 - 18 pts
Bass - 24 - 8 pts
Sullinger - 28 -  11 pts
Olynyk - 24 - 10 pts
Humphries - 12 - 4 pts
Wallace - 20 - 7 pts
Lee - 18 - 7 pts
Pressey - 10 - 3 pts
Brooks - 6 - 2 pts

That's the same total of 93, with a somewhat different rotation and points breakdown.  It's based largely on per-36 numbers for the players, with the exception of Olynyk and Pressey, who I guessed on.  I guessed that Olynyk would score 16 points per-36, and that Pressey would score 10 points per-36.
