Interesting thought.  I'll counter [devil's advocate] that Jesse's shot attempts will be contingent upon people getting him the ball.  I do NOT expect the offense to run through Jesse, like it did the Rak year.

Joe did a great job of setting Jesse up.  And Jesse also gets put back attempts off of misses.

But this year, I'd expect the offense to flow through Joe [who probably is option 1] and Mintz.  Jesse getting enough shot attempts to get to 16-19 is the issue.  Will his teammates set him up to take that many shots?  Of will his role be similar, in the sense that he'll only get shots within the flow of the offense, based upon his teammates intermittently getting him the ball?

I expect his scoring output to be similar to last year -- but hope I'm wrong, and that you are right.  It's just not what I expect.  Traditionally, that's just not how we use our centers [I don't dispute in any way, shape, or form that Jesse is capable of what you suggest].
