Predicting stat lines for the Detroit Pistons' rookies

Bobi Klintman - 6’10 PF, Cairns

2023-2024 Cairns stat line - 9.7 PPG, .74 APG, 4.78 RPG, .83 SPG, 35.7% 3pt FG

Predicted Rookie stat line - 11.9 PPG, 1.02 APG, 5.8 RPG, 1.1 SPG, 37.6% 3pt FG

First and foremost, it should be noted that my predicted stat lines for Bobi Klintman are from him playing in the G-League. I think that his frame and skills will benefit from a majority of his rookie season being spent with the Motor City Cruise. He may be called up every once and a while, but the way that this roster has been built out with Ausar, Simone, Tobias Harris and even possibly Isaiah Stewart looking for minutes at the four position, Klintman can, and should, wait his turn while honing his skills in the G-League. 

With all that being said, I think that his stats for next season will be extremely balanced and his most important attribute as a 6-foot-10 forward, his 3pt shooting, will improve even further.

Last season, Klintman averaged just under 10 points per game during the largest stretch of the year, and 35 percent from three. I think both his scoring output and his three point percentage will increase. I see some growth in the other areas of his game as well, but not to the extent of his shooting.
