Rough guess from limited pre-season watching:

1 - DLo - 17.5 - 18.0 ppg - Kid has the green light and ability, but not the efficiency.

2 - Clarkson - 15.5 ppg - Not whether he starts, but how he finishes. He'll get his minutes and touches.

3 - Young - 14.0 ppg - He will slump eventually, he could still get traded, but this is the best system fit for him since 'Antoni was here Not surprised if he's the starting 2, as he can stretch the floor better than JC.

4 - Randle - 13.5 ppg - He is working on efficiency and control., but if he doesn't show real offensive break-out skills this year, he might never do so.

5 - Ingram - 11.5 ppg - So-so before All-Star Break, and potential ROY levels after it. Kid is still growing into the game and the competition level, but when he does, it'll be FUN.

Williams will be right behind, but don't know how he fits in rotation. Mozgov, Black, and Deng will all probably be around the 7-9 ppg range, based on either injury, skill level, or just plain age. Decent, steady players, but not scoring threats.

It depends a lot on when Lou is traded and whether he or Nick starts.

I think your top 2 is probably correct.

3-5?

If Nick starts, 3. Nick 4. Randle 5. Deng

I'm hopeful Deng gets 30+ mpg.

Deng looks like he aged 10 years since the beginning of last year. Unless he was coasting, he might not be a regular all season.

He did look kind of slower but maybe he just needs a couple games to knock off the rust.

If Walton is going to Jeff Fisher Ingram at the beginning of the season, I hope Deng will be worth it. Ingram's play making skills were a huge surprise towards the end of the preseason. Might as well just let him start and see if he can be Rookie of the Year for you now that Simmons is out for the foreseeable future.

Russell: 18
Clarkson: 16
Deng: 13
Randle: 12
Young or Williams: 11-13

I'm not sure who will win out of Young or Williams but whoever winds up getting more minutes is going to post some offensive numbers. Ingram will probably start slow and then improve as the season goes on. But I'm guessing he will be around a 10 ppg guy his rookie year. Young and Deng will take some of his minutes, and will likely take a back seat to Clarkson on the second unit.
