    Been saying it from day 1 he just needs playing time without concern of being yanked. Game will eventually slow down. His skills are above average except shooting but form is there. Really felt like Billups needed to let Scoot have the keys from day one and live with whatever happened.

    Scoots having as good of a game as you can reasonably hope for but even still I don’t see any star potential.

    There’s a player in there somewhere, but the expectation of a star is too lofty imo…

    I think he’s shown enough that I’m convinced he has star potential. Explosive downhill, good court vision, once game slows down he’ll be electric

    Blazers weave-o-matic system is glitching. Zion power dunk forces a Billups timeout.

    Saying this for years
    Scoot's 4Q has been a mess. After 3 really good quarters (2 exceptional), he's looked flustered badly in the fourth.

    Trading for Larry Nance changed the destiny of Portland. The Blazers can't ever make the playoffs ever again, because Chicago will steal Cronin's draft pick.

    Just wanted to say that i appreciate how hard Ayton plays every night even though he is playing with a bunch of rookies, there is no chance of playoffs and he is not playing for a new contract.

    The whole team kind of seems that way. Play really well for stretches and then all of a sudden can't figure out how to run an offense at all.

    Ayton is a real core piece moving forward...he's starting to really click with Scoot
