Hunter averaging almost 8ppg and better than 8rpg? He should be winning MIP if he did that...

And if you add up your numbers ( I know not totally accurate because some guys might get DNPs every other game but still...) that's almost 140ppg.

Amare 38mpg 24ppg 10.5rpg
Marion 36mph 18pph 8.5rpg
Johnson 32mpg 14ppg 4rpg 4apg
Nash 32mpg 14ppg 8.5apg
Q 32mpg 14pph 6rpg 2apg
Barbosa 12mpg 6ppg 2apg
Lampe 20mpg 6ppg 4rpg
Zarko 10mpg 4ppg 2.5rpg
Hunter 20mpg 4ppg 5rpg 2bpg
Voshkul 20mpg 4ppg 4rpg
SWilliams 8mpg 2ppg 2rpg

That would be 102ppg if those guys played all games. Though Casey will definately get his minutes and the Suns will definately play stretches without a center.

We should be breaking 110 regularly I guess.

So the Suns are going to average 138 points per game. :confused:

You have the team scoring 139.4 points per game. That's good news, because they'll probably give up about 130. Let's hope your predictions are correct! :thumbup:

Actually, they're all only playing 41 games each, so we're only gonna average around 69 or 70 a game.

You've managed to allocate 260 minutes (240=total in regulation game) without including Jacobsen and Vroman. :shrug:

Leo? I had to go through the list twice to figure out that Leo is Leandro. :p

I'm not sure what kind of model I would use for projecting stats. Last season the Mavericks had five players average in double figures:

Dirk Nowitzki 21.8 ppg - 37.9 minutes
Michael Finley 18.6 ppg - 38.6 minutes
Antawn Jamison 14.8 ppg - 29.0 minutes
Steve Nash 14.5 ppg - 33.5 minutes
Antoine Walker 14.0 ppg - 34.6 minutes

This was a total of 83.7 ppg or 79.6% of their total 105.2 points scored. It is signficiant that Jamison was not a starter but played 29 minutes a game.

Josh Howard 8.6 ppg - 23.7 minutes
Marquis Daniels 8.5 ppg - 18.6 minutes

Tony Delk played 15.4 minutes in the 33 games he was in, but everyone else played spot minutes.

What is the point? The Suns should have more depth than last year's Mavs and are likely to spread the minutes around differently. 105 is not an unreasonable target, but only if the Suns rebound well. It is very hard to run if the opponent gets a lot of offensive rebounds.

If I was going to develop a model for the Suns stats, I would start with an anticipated per minute stats and then recalculate based on projected minutes. Fewer minutes means lower numbers, but the contribution to victory would be the same.

Give him a break George, he is just trying to create random posts like you do. ;)

You will never get exactly 248 minutes when you add up pretty much all minutes per game of every player because you can be 100% sure that there will be at least minor injuries and some DNPs.

And if you don't play that doesn't count as 0 minutes.

Please add up the playing time from last seasons roster. You will surely not get 240.0.

I doubt Vroman will play more than 20 games if even that.

I agree, but you can't add up the points per game to get the projected total either. :shrug:

Over the course of the season, the best measure would be the total number of minutes played rather than the average per game. For example, last season Jahidi White averaged 14.1 minutes a game, but played only 861 minutes because he had so many "did not play" games. Lampe averaged 10.1 minutes per game, but only had a total of 225 minutes.
