Right he's putting up 21.9/10.0/6.1 playing a little less than 34 min. Can he do it?

Oscar and Wilt both did it three times, Bird did it twice (and for his entire career averages), KG did it once. Only guys that pulled it off.

I would say his scoring will go up eventually right now he isn't really taking over too much IMO he will end up averaging 25,9, and 6.

[ban me pheggets]

I believe so.

Yeah, like I've said he's also playing less than 34 min and even though his USG% is still pretty high it's the lowest ever in his career right now.
The hardest part is the rebounding, think he will fall short due to that, even though he's playing the 4 more often.

[Tony Hoops]

Yes, I think he definitely could keep it up! His minutes will slightly increase, which will keep his stats right above 20/10/6 per game!

agreed, I think just based off pure athleticism though him getting 8-9 rebounds wouldn't surprise me at all but I do think his points will get up to that 25 range.

This can easily happen

[Carolina Panthers]

Doubt it.

[Volt]

not if he gets cramps lol

Yeah but I'm talking about 10 though. You also gotta be a good rebounder, which he is, it ain't all about athleticism, just look at a guy like K-Love. His PPG will likely go up no doubt.

[Raza 10]

Definitely. You noted Lebron plays about 34 minutes a game, which is odd because for his career (which he's right in the prime of) he played just under 40 a game. He'll play more and with more time at PF, he can keep the rebounding numbers at double digits. He can definitely do it.

[Carolina Panthers]

Durant averaged more rebounds than LeBron last year, and he's averaging 11 a night..

[Dedo™]

He will and eventually he will take over more games and play more minutes. Almost under 40 is his natural playing time.

[ISOMELO]

I think he can do it. His scoring numbers will go up though to 25 plus, this season his scoring numbers are lower because he's mostly played in blow outs the only close game was against Denver and he was a distributor in that game.

[ISOMELO]

Durant only averaged .1 more while playing more minutes and playing with worse rebounders last year, this year KD is averaging like 38 minutes to LeBron's 34.

Durant also doesn't have LeBrons physical gifts.The Thunder were a better rebounding team than Miami last season & LeBron won't average over 36 minutes a game this year leading me to expect his rebounding totals to drop to about 8.

[TeoTheGreek13]

I think he won't.

He never came close to double digits (rebounding) in his career so far and I don't see how he can be that improved this year and also if he continues to average 34 minutes, I don't see it happening.
I haven't seen the Heat very much this season (I've seen about 4 Qs) so I don't know the position he plays at. If he plays many minutes as a PF, hm, maybe he can approach the double digits but I really think that neither him or Durant will maintain those double digit numbers in rebounding.

He also seems to score less this season, I don't know. I think he'll have a less good statline than last season.

KD has his own physical gifts, 6'11 and 7'5 wingspan. KD played alongside two weak defensive rebounders in Ibaka and Perkins and played more minutes. LeBron's minutes will increase the majority of the Heat games so far this year have been them getting blown out or them blowing another team out as the games get closer LeBron's minutes will increase.

[The Logo]

Yes, it will happen. He'll be able to get his 10 rebounds per game and I think soon, his scoring will go up. Maybe he'll average something like 23/10/7 or something like that this season.

[Clutch™]

Maybe 20/6 because he could just be more passive and score less, but he won't keep that 10 boards up.
