To make the season more exciting and appealing to me, I decided to put my blog to the line. In the next several days, I will give you my 10 crazy predictions for the upcoming season! If I don't get three correct predictions, I will close this down!
One Sophomore will post one of the 15 highest points per game this season
In the last two seasons, no sophomore was able to break in to the 15 best scorer in the season. In 2014-2015, Victor Oladipo ended as the 26th best with his 17.9 points per game. Last season, Andrew Wiggins found himself in the 20th spot with his 20.7 points per game.
This season, there are two legit candidates to finished in the top 15. First is Karl Anthony Towns who finished with 18.3 points, 33rd best last season. I trust coach Thib to give him more opportunity. Last season, he was 2.9 points away from top 15 and that is a very reasonable increase this season for him.
The second candidate is Devin Booker. If you haven't heard, he is lighting up the preseason with 21.5 points in 25.2 minutes. And mind you, he is doing that efficiently at 50%. A lot of people have said that they see genes of a Kobe Bryant on him so I expect him to show that this season.
