so maybe 17 is more realistic with Felton handling rock and Amare first option
17 would be huge for Gallo this year 7 rebounds and 3 assists a steal and a block
I'll say that sounds right
Much more realistic, IMO.
I just don't see us having another 20+PPG guy on the team beside Amare at this point, and I think Felton will spread the ball around so it is doubtful that 2 guys average over 20PPG.
I also think we have a lot of guys on the team who are not going to be overly concerned if they are playing on a winning team but not putting up All-Star stats, and that is generally how the MDA teams have done in terms of scoring.
To be honest, if Gallo is averaging 20+ with Amare, there is a scoring imbalance going on, IMO.
Even Nash has never averaged over 20 PPG with the Suns, by the way.
Below is MDA's Suns team from 2006-7, which averaged 110.2 PPG- it is representative of the MDA years, when anywhere from 5-7 players would be scoring in double figures.
