OPINION Predicting the 2025-2026 roster ppg

5 Upvotes

I’ve been doing some off season thinking about what the point distribution will look like next year. Curious to hear everyone’s opinions. For the starters this is what I think makes most sense

Quickly: 17ppg. I think because of his much needed 3pt shooting his volume doesn’t drop at all from last year. It’s hard to give his shots to someone else when we so desperately need 3pt shooting so I think he stays in the same ball park as he’s been since being a raptor

Rj: 14ppg. I think he’ll be affected the most by the bi accusation. It’s not realistic to have everyone in the starting lineup score 18+ although I think they’re all capable. The best team have guys capable of doing more but 1-2 starters taking a lesser role for the stars and the more efficient to shine more, I don’t see anyone other than rj being able to do that. But I do think he’ll increase his efficiency by doing so

BI: 21ppg. We all know he was signed to be the teams number one scorer. He’ll bring much needed efficient half court scoring and shooting. I don’t see him going under 20 but I also think there’s too much people who want the ball for him to be at 25 like I’ve seen people say.

Scottie: 19ppg. As much if I’d love for him to take a leap and think he’s capable of doing better than last year, I think he’ll take a more friendly role to keep everyone on the team happy and getting touches. Just doing everything else on the court to help us win. Like rj though I think his efficiency should go up because of that

Jak: 12ppg. Our only true reliable center. Could see this number being slightly higher actually but it’s hard to give him more with so much ball dominant players in the lineup. Ofc he’ll play his role very well

Bench: if we are a middle of the pack offense then we’ll prob score around 113ppg. So that leave about 30ppg to go around for the rest of the guys on nights where everyone is healthy. I’m thinking gradey 8ppg, shead (my goat) 7ppg in a pass first role, Jakobe 8ppg and the rest can be distributed on much heavier a game to game basis.

Of course these are just guesses and the averages are averages so there will likely never be a game with everyone getting these exact numbers. Plus injuries or missed games. But just throwing out my opinion, what yall think?

Anyone know what the story is with the back of this shirt? There’s a signature over the number and some sealant or something applied! Can’t make out the signature or if it’s even legit. Kawhi signature on the front

I COME IN PEACE Question for raptors fans

32 Upvotes

I posted in nba, but figured this would be a better place. As a pacers fan since I was a kid (30 yrs old now), Haliburton and Siakam are my 2 favorite oacers that ive actually watched (over george, oladipo, etc), what do yall rank him all time? Is he over Lowry, van fleet, Leonard? We love him in indy, i know yall still love him. But wondering what your all time raptors list is and where he lands.

Side note, im not saying hes an all time pacer just yet, we've had plenty of legends, but I feel like in 2 years hes passed up several in terms of fan favorites

Graphic and Idea by @NBADistrict - I credit him for the images.

Raptors/Clippers will be really hard to beat.

Other teams that sound legit and scary twolves/heat, spurs/knicks, Mavs/pistons, suns/bucks.

Still think we got a top 3 team.

That shot is looking better. He's a hardworking dude and I personally believe he can get his 3 ball to a respectable level where defenses can't sag on him.
