I'll get to 70 and provide the logic behind each number.  How bout that?

Battle - 17.  This is a modest increase over the pace he was on last season and puts him near Gbinije territory, which is a fair comparison.

TT - 15.  CJ Fair put up 15 as a junior on a team with more offensive weapons.  This is conservative given his per 40 average of 20ppg last year.

Brissett/Moyer - 18.  I'd consider Joseph and Roberson to be slightly imperfect comparisons for these two, in that they're 6'8" dudes who couldn't or can't shoot coming in.  KJo and Robey both got to hang out on the bench for a year, but their combined sophomore averages would be 19ppg in roughly the same number of minutes we'd expect Moyer and Brissett to play.  I think Brissett and Moyer are both clearly more offensively polished than Roberson was, and closer to KJo in the other areas.

*Tucker + B&M - 22.  Tucker would come in and average 11 or 12 per game straight away.

Frank - 10.  His per 40 average was 11 last season with competition at his position.  Without the competition, his usage is going to go up a lot and it's unlikely he'll get worse.  Just doubling his minutes from last year would already get him to 9.

Washington - 4.  The kid is a 3 point shooter who's looking at at least 10mpg if we don't land another guard (we probably will land one).  That's 1 three and a foul shot.  I'm not exactly reaching for the stars with this one.

Sidibe/Chukwu - 6.  In 16 minutes of action, Keita averaged 2.2 points just by being on the court with hands that worked only part of the time.  Assuming these two will combine for most of the minutes at Center, Chukwu will get 2 automatically and Sidibe could get 4 with a little effort.  We already know Sidibe is more polished offensively than Keita was.

Not counting Tucker:  70
