I honestly see a more balanced team offensively and a big effort in the early season to establish the Plums as scoring threats. Look for Kyrie to replicate Jason Williams' freshman year - 13 and 6 maybe - and the 4-8 options to be in the 6-10 ppg range. If Kyle and Nolan average 16 a piece, Irving 13 and the 4-8 guys average out to 8 each, 9-12 average a combined 8 ppg...that adds up to 93 ppg which I think is the top end of the range for this team. Seems like a plausible and fairly likely scenario.
