If people are expecting him to have All American, TSJ/Ayo level production...it ain't happening. We'll see how it plays out but probably a 15-5-5 season is the ceiling for him. Probably likeliest he hovers around that or just a little bit lower...but that would be great production nonetheless if he's able to pull it off...
First year player average 15-5-5.?..yes please!

I'm sticking with the Evan Turner comp.

KJ is more point and less forward than Turner. But both are long, do-everything, three level scorers. Neither are particularly explosive athletes and both are really good floor generals though probably not pure point guards. Sounds like KJ won't be around long enough to develop and get the accolades that Turner did though.

My player comparisons for the team.
KJ - Goran Dragić slightly less athletic slightly better passer
WR- Nick young with litte more playmaking/shot creation
TI- Poor man's isaiah hartenstein
KB- Derek fisher with a better shot off the dribble
MJ- Trevor Booker
DGL- Terry Rozier I'm high on DGL
CB- Poor man's Marquese Chriss
TR- Ronnie Brewer
BH- Poor man's Georges Niang
TW- poor man's Jared dudley but more athletic

yo guys let’s dial it back a bit lol. I know it’s not meant to be taken seriously but other fanbases/coaches etc. lurk this board and the last thing we need is to get clowned in the future for comparing our entire roster to veteran NBA players lol.

15-5-5 is first team all B1G. Domask was at 15-5-3.5

Not sure it's been mentioned yet, but use UCLA24 for a free year of BIG+ this season.
Can you use this with an existing account?

Tried on my phone and couldn’t find a spot for the code. I’ll have to dust off the old laptop

You spelled “a more athletic Larry Bird” wrong.
A bunch of times.

Also, don’t you have to choose UCLA as your team? Or can you switch after you sign up?

No, just use the promo code. And as the person you replied to mentioned, I also couldn't find the promo entry on the app. So you will need to add the promo code through a web browser via phone or otherwise. It worked perfectly for me.

With this talent it seems it would not be a problem with scoring. However looking at the stats, it seems more daunting. Assuming KJ can match Marcus’s 16 pg and Tre can match Hawk’s 12 pg (his average at Louisville), that would leave 3 guys to match TJ, QG, and Ty’s 39 pg. That would mean the other 3 guys average 13 pg. Ben, TI, and Kylan averaged 32 pg with their previous teams. The rest of the eight man rotation averaged 6 pg so it would mean more production from the bench. Probably not impossible as seems like less drop off than last year and maybe more minutes from the bench. ( Didn’t look at minutes from last year on new players) Assume at this point the next three would be Ty, Will, and Morez. Not trying to predict starters or eight man rotation but just speculating for comparison. Don’t think many of us would have predicted either Marcus or TJ’s averages last year as some were predicting Luke as the fifth starter. Could also be surprised by this year’s rotation and minutes.
