For the most part we either played the starting unit as a whole or the bench unit as a whole. Here's the starting unit Minutes, FGA and FTA.
Derozan
Min 29 FGA 15 FTA 3
Lowry
Min 24 FGA 11 FTA 6
Gay
Min 26 FGA 10 FTA 7
JV
Min 23 FGA 7 FTA 4
Johnson
Min 20 FGA 4 FTA 2
As you can see, JV is losing shots to Demar, Gay, and Lowry in the starting lineup. I don't expect that to change much during the regular season. Fortunately, we hopefully won't be switching lineups as 5 man units during the regular season and JV will get plenty of burn with some of the bench guys where he can take on more of the offense.
JV averaged 6 FGA and 3 FTA last season. I think it's reasonable to expect 10 FGA and 5 FTA just based on increased minutes. That would put him averaging around 15 pts a game which seems reasonable at this point in his career.
