I don't anticipate AD will win scoring titles, because those tend to occur at the 28-30 ppg level. I think given his current trajectory, prime AD scores around 25-26 on high efficiency. The only way I see him competing for scoring titles is if we change coaches and significantly up our pace. FYI, that's roughly on par with Dirk, a little up from Duncan, significantly south of Robinson, similar to Hakeem, way worse than Shaq, way worse than Malone. But his early career numbers put him in that class, and barring suprises or significant injuries, I expect he ends up around the middle of that class scoring wise. Of those players, he scores the most like Robinson.
