Re: Will Chris Paul average double digit assist this season?
28 PPG the first two games, with 22 tonight against Boston's defense. Frankly, I'd rather see him score more and get around 8 assists because that team desperately needs scoring, and too many times the past few years Paul was shy about looking for his own shot, which resulted in his struggling teammates trying to carry the scoring load. If he can become a more potent scorer, along with West and Emeka being the 2 and 3 options, they can be more effective as a team instead of relying on guys like Peja, Brown, and Peterson.

It does help that he's shooting 65% from the field so far.

IMO, no...that roster sucks and outside of open Peja shots and D WEst jumpers, I have no idea who CP3 will depend on to finish his passes. Rasul Butler isn't there anymore and his many alley connect (Chandler) is also gone. I feel bad for the CP3 being stuck with that trash roster. I think CP3 is going to now be forced into an almost 30ppg type of scorer.
