I had tried to come up with something kind of similar to this yesterday with a friend once Malichi officially left.  Tried to figure out where we were going to come up with 70ppg which seems like a fairly accurate estimate as to what we should expect given the team has averaged between 68-70ppg over each of the last 4 years.  I think based on what we are going to need to happen that your estimates are fairly close as we were guessing the backcourt is going to have to get to about half of that 70.  I was a little more optimistic on Gillon guessing he would probably get to 10 and put Battle around 14.  Either way, its pretty close.  Leaves the front court needing 35 and that seems completely doable as Lydon/Roberson/Coleman combined for 24 last year as probably the 4th/5th/6th options on the team.  Add in probably a 25% increase in opportunity for them and add in a few putbacks and dunks for Chukwu and a pretty low estimate of 4ppg from Moyer and that would get us to that other 35.  Think these are all fairly reasonable estimates and don't really see a reason for the offense to have a big jump or crater from what we've averaged the past 4 seasons.
