80 ppg??? Nah bro, thats not enough. Last place team in points per game last season was 91.9 Heck, we were at 98.5 last season, we should be better that that this season, fingers crossed.

 

[playmaker88]

lol at 80 pts i think you might be Low Balling Randle

Swagg P good for 12 -15

Clarkson will big huge for us also

 

[IgboNegro]

Russell needs to work on his conditioning, he be looking slow af in there,

There are going to be nights each player steps his game up by about 4 points. I'm just hitting on what's expected.

I hope Randle averages 18ppg, but I don't see it happening. He works so hard on defense that it's going to throw off his energy on offensively getting a good shot; and since he's not really known for shooting and a good touch then I can't see it.

I'm not gonna be negative on my Lakers, but I'm just putting it out there.

I hope I'm wrong. If I'm right, I'll be bringing these numbers back up in the future.

Realistically I see the Lakers (due to anticipating that at least one player will score a little bit more than usual every game) averaging around 88 pts a game 90 at most on the average. My predictions are over on that.....so I hope I'm wrong and they do better.

 

[mdot]

88 or 90 points a game is like an archaic average scoring is going up in general. If that's all we can average we will be the worst team in the league.

 

[T.Vick04]

Yeah i think Jordan gonna have a big yr

 

[gucci7383]

Russell going right is a turnover awaiting to happen

 

[newOldSchool]

If Russell avg. anything above 10 points that will be a very good rookie season. 14 points 6 dimes? dream a little dream for me too.

Nice to see Russell agressive with his shot off the pick and roll last night. The kid is figuring it out. Shout out to Tarik Black too.

Dude's are young. Give them some time, they'll figure it out. No matter what, both Randle and Russell need to be aggressive this year. That's the only way they're gonna eat playing with Kobe.

15, 7, and 4 for Russell. He's a tall with long arms, he should at least be solid on the boards. I could see Randle getting 16-18 pts a game to go along with 10 boards if he picks up the NBA game fairly quickly coming off of the red shirt year. He should get to the line a lot if he's under control when he attacks the paint. That's an all stars align kind of scenario though.

Naw my nigga it anit happening

 

[Jonah 2.0]

18 & 10!? Got damn! Now that's what I call optimism.

I'm not even gon front like I was high on the Randle pick but I think I'll be a fan. I like the dog in him. Plus he has more game and athleticism than I initially thought.

Who I'm really looking forward to seeing this season is Clarkson. He has that drive. I still don't think we'll see what he's fully capable of until the 16-17 season but I think he's going to turn a lot of heads this year.

 

[af.r.i.c.a.]

More like 13 and 7

It is optimism, but who else is in the front court? Chances of Kobe playing the majority of the season aren't great. Roy Hibbert ain't getting boards, or putting up pts. I do think Clarkson will have a good year. I just hope Kobe doesn't fuck shit up lol.

 

[mdot]

Randle 13 and 6

Russell 12 and 5 and 2

I see those kind of numbers from them.

 

[804]

No faith in the squad lol

 

[804]

I think Randle is gonna suprise a lot of people. Again their numbers depend on Kobe's willingness to share.
