Let's get some discussion going on these guys' stats for the upcoming season.
For Al Horford: 16.4p/7.3r/2.9a/0.8s/1.6b
I feel like Al will stay virtually the same, but his points will go up a bit and his assists will drop slightly. My reasoning is that there's really no one that scores on the Celtics besides Isaiah Thomas, so Al can help on that side, though not by much because he doesn't have much of an offensive game. However, what he has as an offensive game is consistent. His assists will go a little bit down because although his passes will be there, the Celts have worse finishers overall.
For Jeff Teague: 14.4p/2.6r/6.7a/1.5s/0.4b
Jeff Teague is a different story. Tbh, I don't really know the Pacers team too well, but I'm pretty sure Teague's scoring will go down a bit. Perhaps 14.4 is a bit too low, but I think it's possible because his assist numbers will go up. Paul George is a superstar, and Teague will be his PG (ha). We know Teague can pass and score at will when he wants to, but I think on the offensive end he will defer to Paul George a lot. As for his defensive stats, I think he will be rejuvenated at being back in Indiana and will hustle a bit more. Plus, he's had time to recover from his injuries.
What are your guys' predictions?
