Some people think it’s unrealistic he can jump from 16PPG to 25PPG. but it’s a good possibility especially if he’s working out with the right people. |

I know Kuz has been doing a media tour but im cool with that. Good amassador for the team and its nice to have a player that talks. There was a tweet from Oram about Kuz (and KCP) working out at the facility monday.
Its lonzo I’m worried about. Havent heard a peep from the teams most visible player. |

Your optimism is most welcome and appreciated. Sans notable free agents, I think he is more than capable of hitting the 20 point mark next season. 22-6-4 should be the aim for him. He needs to work on his core, so that the contact doesn't deter him or cause injuries.
Love the news about him working out with Oladipo's trainer. Oladipo wasn't just the engine of the Pacers offense in terms of playmaking and scoring, but he also did some incredible things without a legitimate second option on the team (see Oladipo double). |

Agreed, I like that Kuz has taken on the role of being the face of the franchise. It seems fitting given how much of a beast he is on court, and the respect he's garnered around the league in just one year of play. |

Even with added FAs, I could see Ingram playing at a high level, I really hope he’s not traded for Kawhi but I would understand the move. |

FAs won’t make it tough for him to play at a high level but there will be too many mouths to feed. I’d be shocked if he got to 25+ per game even without FAs. That’s just not the type of player I see him as. I think 20 per with only one FA signing is probably the realistic ceiling for him next year. |

I’m hoping he can be an efficient 20/6/4 type of guy next season.
48 percent FG, 36-37 3 on a good amount of attempt and 75% ft.
He was 16/5/4 on 47/39/68 this season, so this is something he can attain imo |

Not 25+ but somewhere around 20-25 is realistic, worse case he comes next year averaging basically around 15-18PPG |

its not at all unrealistic with his baseline skill. he can already dribble very well for a guy with his length. all he needs is some tweaks and reps here and there. if he learns how to shoot at a good clip and make his ft's. 20+ is easy. |

It’s scary how common this kind of thinking is becoming amongst fans nowadays.

Didn't you predict 25 PPG from him this season?

I mean, what more proof do we need? If a baby soils his diaper and no one is around to smell it, did it have a stench? Of course not!
