A lot of interesting question marks that have a chance of being a reality. Which one is more likely to happen?

I did a similar poll a few months ago, but I think these options are harder to choose from.
Of them all, I have to choose Pierce averaging under 20 ppg. With the way we're going to pass the ball around and let other guys take shots that are open, Pierce probably will not be allowed to do much individual scoring like he has grown accustomed to doing.
I like Jefferson's chances of averaging a double double, but realistically, I think he'll be around an 8 rpg guy this year. But I have no doubt that he'll be a double double guy in the very near future.

Pierce under 20 PPG.
I'll have to see TA average 18 minutes/game, before I believe he scores 18 PPG...

I have no doubt that if Allen has the greenlight to create his own offense, he can score 18 ppg, with 30+ minutes of playing time per game. But because he's going to have to play in the team structure, he probably won't be an 18 ppg guy. Which is a good thing because if we have more guys scoring in the mid teens, it'll make us a stronger offensive club..

Yeah, I could see the future C's having 4 players scoring in the mid to upper teens (maybe 1 or 2 of these in the low 20s) with 3 others in the 10 - 12 range.
I can't help but drool as I dream of all the potential this team has.

Pierce just seems to be declining each year so yes I picked him averaging under 20ppg. Not to mention with the young guys rising, some of his points will be taken away also. Its hard to say if Pierce will be here until his contract is up or be moved before then.

AJ averaging a double double. The other scenarios seem unrelastic.

Al Jefferson will be lucky to average a double double next year. If he does, he might get 9 and 8 or something close to it.

Jefferson's ability to average 10 or more RPG depends on how much time he stays on the floor. Foul trouble and looking lost on defense will take away his playing time, and kill his chances of averaging 10 rpg. But he's capable of doing it, as long as he can stay on the floor.

Same goes for Perkins averaging 10 rebounds. Just stay out of foul trouble and the young bigs might near the double-double average.

Yea its like these guys Danny picked are star material but they just may not reach it depending on their foul troubles. Jefferson has bigger foul trouble problems than troublemakers in the league even.

They got the "rookie calls"...
The refs should grow out of this.
Perk is a banger though. He won't take crap, even against his team-mates. I love how he backs them up and helps them up.

I still remember in Game 7 of the Indiana series, when the game was all but lost for us, and Delonte and Gill get into a mini scuffle, Perkins comes running over and just abrubtly brushes Gilll back about 6 feet as if it was his job to protect his teammate. It was uncalled for, but it makes you see how much of a big brother type of role Perkins wants to play.
