What will Andrew Bynum average this season?

[BoNafidde]

He will likely be the center piece of the sixers offense. What kind of numbers do you guys see him putting up?

I see him going for about 24 ppg, 11 rpg and 2 bpg

I definitely like him playing with Jrue. I think it will end up being a great PG/C combo. Since most of the replies so far are so similar it's hard to argue, but I think the rebound numbers could surprise you even with him being the obvious #1 option on offence.

I'll say
24ppg
15rpg
2.6bpg
2.5to
55+%

I've never been a huge Bynum fan, and still am not, but I have a feeling the talent being let loose with him primary option playing with a good PG is going to spell career year. As long as Philly lets him work through his mistakes he is going to be big this year.

On a side note, with him in the middle on defense, I think Jrue has a legit chance to be considered an elite defender next year and may have some DPOY buzz (but won't win).

Of course my predictions are based highly on Jrue and Drew gelling very well, which IMO is a high probability.

So without Gasol, Kobe Bynum will go to a team that has no offensive threats of those two players caliber and avg what he did in L.A. :rolleyes:

[Snoop_Cat]

He shot 56% on a team with Kobe and Gasol where he was double teamed far less than he is going to this season.

I'll say somewhere along the lines 21-24 PPG at a FG% in the low 50's (50-53%) and similar rebound numbers.

[eliteballer]

You guys are thowing out absurd numbers. This will be his first season carrying a team without playing off of Kobe and Gasol.


19/11/2

These are much more realistic.

[East_Stone_Ya]

So without Gasol, Kobe Bynum will go to a team that has no offensive threats of those two players caliber and avg what he did in L.A. :rolleyes:


Holiday and Turner will demand the ball more and Collins will probably try to get Bynum more defensive minded which would result in more personal fouls thus impacting the playing time etc. Anyhow within 2-3 months into the season we will see who was right

[Optimus Prime]

24 ppg/12 rpg/2 bpg on 50% shooting

His points will go up but his efficiency will go down since he's now the man and the focus of the other teams defense.

:kobe:

[RRR3]

Depends plays under control. He's a beast for sure though. And also, Bynum got double teamed a lot last year.



I'll say
22.7 PPG, 12.1 RPG, 1.6 APG, 2.1 BPG, 54.1 FG%

[GOBB]

These are much more realistic.

He did those stats in LA how is he not goin to score morein Philly with more attempts? Use your brain.

[GOBB]

Holiday and Turner will demand the ball more and Collins will probably try to get Bynum more defensive minded which would result in more personal fouls thus impacting the playing time etc. Anyhow within 2-3 months into the season we will see who was right

Demand the ball more? What does that even mean. If you think Evan and Jrue wont pass the rock to the big especially when attacking the rim you're a fool. If you think the halfcourt offense wont start with Bynum? You're a fool.

See the pattern here?

[ripthekik]

Yeah, dikhead
In LA kobe and Gasol took attention off him, he was more free to do whatever they want. Now they focus their D on him, double him, and you think he's going to score more? :roll: :roll: :roll: :applause:

[eliteballer]

It's not that simple. Dude benefited playing on those stacked teams. You know how many easy buckets he got playing off Kobe and Pau. He's a beast no doubt, but expecting him to come in and put up Dwight type numbers when he wont play more than 35 mpg in his first season carrying a team is crazy talk.

18 ppg 12 rpg 2.5 bpg

Why wouldn't he? How many players go from being a second or a third option a contender, become a number 1 and actually score less?

Usally it's the efficiency that goes down not the scoring. :confusedshrug:

He's a better offensive player than Dwight in every way shape and form. The best low post scoring big. F*ck you mean he wont do Dwight numbers. Shut up. He doesnt need to play more than 35mpg to avg more pts. Its about touches and attempts. Its about Sixers having ball handlers who will get him easy buckets (Jrue/Evan). You dont got to dump it in the post all the time, simply penetrate then dish to Bynum who has a wide frame and can get into open space. Once he catches it near the rim its a duece. You can pick n roll Bynum to the basket and lob him an ally oop. Who competiting with him there? If Tyson Chandler can make a living off this, Bynum can get a couple easy buckets doing this as well.

Sixers play unselfish basketball. You must've forgot. So used

An unmotivated Bynum getting shots will average 21/11, a motivated Bynum 24/12

[IGOTGAME]

I think m will surprise people with his passing out of the post. He won't need to hunt for shots so he will be less selfish out there.

[BarberSchool]

I think alot of this thread's earlier posters are also die-hard Kevin Martin fans.

[qrich]

22.6/10.4 with 2.2 blocks on 49.2% shooting and more turnovers than assists.

[All Net]

22 and 11 but I expect his FG% to go down due to taking on more of a go to guy role...

What did he average when Kobe was out and he was the focal point of the offense?

Bynum got loads of easy buckets playing with Gasol and Kobe. I think he'll average the same numbers on a worse %.

Bynum will get alot more shots and be fed more hopefully as the primary option if Doug Collins is smart.

With an athletic slashing PG like Holiday driving with intent to set Bynum off, he should have much better numbers than he did in LA as the third option.

On top of that, front courts in the east are undersized and weak compared to front courts in the west.

[Flagrant 2]

Teams will be focusing their Defense on Bynum now. Before, Bynum had the luxury of Kobe+Pau. Things will be different.

[Levity]

23/12/2 blocks 49 - 50% shooting

all us laker fans noticed how inefficient bynum was when kobe was out(but still put up great numbers), but with that said, hes going into training camp knowing he'll be the number one option on his new team, so id expect him to greatly improve on all his weaknesses going into the season.

and as long as doug collins doesnt kiss him on the forehead, i think he'll be happy.

[BlackVVaves]

So without Gasol, Kobe Bynum will go to a team that has no offensive threats of those two players caliber and avg what he did in L.A. :rolleyes:

Without Kobe and Gasol, Bynum will also face much more hard and consistent double teams. If you've never watched Bynum much in the past, allow me to add insight. Bynum is pretty atrocious when managing double teams. He hangs on to the ball, doesn't pass out the post, and forces the shot. There is a reason he's been deemed "a black hole."

He won't average 19 and 12, but he's not averaging 25 and 15 either. I see 22, 13, and 2, but on 51-53% shooting.

I agree with all of that. I dont see him getting 25 or more per game. But avg the same as he did as a Laker? Come on. While he'll face more double teams Bynum will have more oppurtunities to score than he did in L.A. There is no Kobe or even Gasol in Philly. Playing with unselfish passers like Jrue, Evan and Spencer will just open up more scoring oppurtunities that dont result in the basic dumping it in the post for Bynum to score tactic.

Bynum should also get to the charity line more than he has as well. Having said all that? It just reads like more than 19ppg to me. I saw video footage of how Bynum struggles with double teams, so its definately an area he needs to improve on.

[upside24]

Knee surgery for Bynum in Germany.

[Yung D-Will]

Knee surgery for Bynum in Germany.
He's getting the Kobe treatment he schedules a while ago right?

[upside24]

I believe so. Just saw it on ESPN. First I've heard about it.

[Levity]

He's getting the Kobe treatment he schedules a while ago right?

yes. an elective, non invasive surgery.

Yea, people saying only 18 or 19 are just being facetious in my opinion. He'll get more touches, and get to the free throw line more, like you said.

His efficiency will take a tumble as he learns how to play as the focal point of a defense's strategy. He does have to improve on his passing from the post, and how he approaches double teams. But, I don't see that transformation occurring this season, so expect him to average more turnovers than assists.

With that being said, he'll still be the second best center in the league, and is a better player than Iggy is (though Philly will miss his perimeter D).

[GOBB]

Also Bynum is in a contract year and we all know how players produce in their contract years. :pimp:
