Here are reasonable team stat expectations (league rank in parentheses) for next season and how they compare with this past season: PPG 102 (9), last year 99 (18) (no explanation here- I'd be happy to give the 3 points back); RPG 43 (7), last year 41.8 (13) (the increase is due to an increase in overall team size, thanks to the draft choice and more time for Turner); APG 24 (1), last year 22.7 (6) (more minutes for Turner will mean more assists for the team- he's an excellent passer. This is the teams strength, thanks to Iguodala); SPG 8 (6), last year 7.6 (10) (no good reason, but no big difference); BPG 5 (12), last year 4.3 (23) (increase is mainly due to draft choice- this reamins the Sixers biggest weakness).— incog69
