I can see every one of those things happening, but which is more likely to happen?

I took Al, closely followed by Perk. Bassy came in third, and GG was a distant fourth. Green is just too clueless out there on D to get meaningful minutes this year.

Al will get 12 ppg this season but I also expect Perk to get 10 rpg if Doc doesn't do something stupid like playing Pittsnogle over Perk cause he has more range on his shot...

What about Perk's propensity to foul--do you think it will cause him to sit on the bench more than he should be? He plays defense very aggresively and that causes him to pick up fouls, more than a player who plays lacks defense.

The only thing that keeps Perk on the bench is Doc's idiocy (highly likley). The only way Al gets 12 ppg is if he stays healthy (big if) and beats out Gomes (would be 50/50 in a fair fight, but with all there "experts" around and Doc as his coach it'll probably happen) I have kind of given up on the idea of a Cs pg ever getting more than 5apg ever again I think GG can happen. I think he's gonna get more mins. I think Doc goes with the hot crowd pleasing hand sometimes. I won't be surprised if TA, Delonte, and Wally all get hurt.

Delonte almost averaged 5 apg, and I think there's no argument that Delonte is not a true PG and he doesn't have overwhelming court vision or passing ability. Sebastian averaging more than 5 apg is highly possible, and I'd be surprised, if not disappointed, if he's healthy and doesn't average that many assists per game.

Perk wasn't fouling near as much toward the end of last season when he finally got more playing time. The refs were giving him a little more respect and he was learning how to defend without making obvious fouls.
As for assists, I believe that we will see our PGs both average 5+ apg this season.

Perk getting 10 rebs a game. He is going to get minutes, and he will put up double double type numbers. In my mind it is a foregone conclusion.
I really hope Al scores at least 12ppg, but I can see him hovering around 10.
If Telfair averages 35 minutes a game he can easily put up 8 or 9 assists a game on this squad, but with Delonte and Rondo sharing time at the point, with those minutes shared I just don't see Bassy averaging 7 assists per game for the whole season. I hope I am wrong.
Gerald can easily average 10ppg, but I feel Perk averaging 10rebs per game is more likely.
I think it is very likely that all of these could happen but to pick one that has the greatest chance, it's my man Perk grabbin those boards.

You are right, FL. Perk wasn't getting as many ticky tack fouls as he was early in the season. I think we can credit him playing smarter and not falling for every pump fake for that.
Esco, Jefferson's ability to score at least 12 ppg will happen as long as he is getting the ball in the post. It was painful to watch how many times our guys wouldn't get him the ball in the post, even though he had his man sealed and was calling for the ball. For some reason, Ricky especially seemed hesitant to give him the ball. He'd always end up swinging the ball back to the top instead of feeding Al the ball in the post. If Al gets his shot attempts, he'll be a 15 ppg guy.
If Bassy is taking care of the ball and not commiting excessive turnovers, he's going to be on the floor a lot. I don't think Doc will take the ball out of his hands just to give Delonte minutes at PG. If Telfair is doing his job, he'll get his 30+ mpg and average better than 7 apg.

Who was the better point guard last year true or untrue? Delonte or Sebastian? Who had the better year last year at the position? Delonte started there a lot. Sebastian was quite arguably beat out by Jarret Jack (is he true or untrue at the position?) and Steve Blake. Is Blake true or untrue? So who's the truest of those 4? Who's least true? Who had the best year or the worst? Once again a young Celt with lots of evil pword is being annointed a starter over someone he has yet to beat out and then we sit around and wonder why we can't win and where we can get an even truer pg. Eventually we are going to get to Aristotle's original true point guard on which all others are based and it'll only be 50/50 he beats out West in a fair match up. Sebastian and Al J. Kings of the young Celts paper champions. In the mean time Gomes and West wouldn't last two seconds in Nazi Germany cause they'd be weeded out for not reaching the Celtics demanding eugenics standards of being in the master races of "true" poing guards or high school power forwards with lots of potential. Bassy hasn't even beaten out Rondo and Allan Ray and Al hasn't even beaten out Powe. Granted since they are younger they should have to do the beating out but I'm not sure they aren't better.
