Who will be our 3rd leading scorer?

[JBcat]

On the surface it's easy to say to Al Horford, however I think we could see all of these players within a few points of each other.  Horford may even be relied upon more as a passer this year with so many scorers on the team. 

Here are each candidates last season's PPG.

Al Horford 14 PPG
Marcus Smart 10.6 PPG
Jaylen Brown 6.6. PPG
Jason Tatum N/A
Terry Rozier 5.5 PPG
Marcus Morris 14 PPG

I think we could see a downtick with Horford's scoring maybe to around 13 PPG.  Smart has looked like a new player so maybe at least 12 PPG.  Brown is taking over Bradley's starting spot so we could see a nice jump maybe to over 10 PPG.  Tatum who knows being a rookie but it wouldn't surprise me somewhere around 10 PPG.  Rozier has looked awesome in preseason but I don't see where much of the scoring chances are going to come from.  Maybe 8 PPG.

I'm going with Morris.  If you check his games logs from last year.  Since January 1st he's had 10 games at least 20 points (2 others were at 19), and 2 of those games he scored 36 and 37 points.  In a better offense with more spacing he might stay at least 14 PPG.   

It's going to be interesting.  I don't think it's clear cut it will be Horford but he will probably lead this vote.

Smart, because he will be on floor far more than the other guys (except for Horford), and because he seems to have improved his offensive skills this offseason. Horford is going to rack up assists this season with this new roster.

Going for longshot, Tatum.

[SHAQATTACK]

Going for longshot, Tatum.

yes .....by the end of the season for sure.  if not soon.

[Dino Pitino]

I think it'll be Brown in a well-balanced distribution. Something like...

Irving 20 (with 10 assists)
Hayward 18
Brown 16
Smart 14
Horford 12
Tatum 12
Morris 8
Rozier 7

[BitterJim]

It'll either be Morris or Smart (if Morris doesn't get enough minutes).  Neither will be anywhere close to Kyrie or Hayward, though

[footey]

Big Al this season.

Brown or Tatum next season.

[jpotter33]

Could be any of Horford, Morris, Brown, or Smart. I'm guessing all four will be in double digits and close to each other around 10-12 points per game.

[moiso]

Irving 26pts, 7 assists
Hayward 19 pts
Horford 13pts
Smart 13pts
Brown 11pts
Tatum 11 pts
Morris 11pts.
Rozier and Baynes 7pts.

Irving 20 (with 10 assists)
Hayward 18
Brown 16
Smart 14
Horford 12
Tatum 12
Morris 8
Rozier 7

if the scoring is that balanced we are in for one hell of a season.

[ManUp]

Smart.

That improved 3 point shot and his improved driving will be worth a lot.

[Csfan1984]

I think it will be Horford. He is a playing with more willing and capable passers.

IT, AB, Crowder vs Irving, Smart, Hayward,

[Eddie20]

Horford. He's much better suited as a 3rd option in the offense, which will not only make him more comfortable but also give him more open looks.

[Surferdad]

Horford because he will get more minutes than the others. Don’t overthink this one.

[GreenWarrior]

smart or Rozier. I think horford will facilitate too much.
