    I expect him to be an A+ connective piece. I think he's closer to 6-9 in shoes. I believe that's what Danny was alluding to.

    By that time we'll have seen enough of Scoot that it won't be a hard decision (either way).

    Looks like Scoot’s highlight dunk for the Ignite. Not saying they’re similar, but I feel like a lot of people fell in love with a handful of Scoot dunks and then went on to throw out lavish praise and expectations that he hasn’t lived up to remotely.

    I asked for a barefoot measurement not someone making a claim. Maybe you're aware that it's common for players/teams to add 1 to 2 inches to a players actual barefoot height? You can look at the predraft barefoot measurements and compare those to the listed heights to see that this is true. Deni didn't attend an NBA predraft which is why I was (& am) interested in an actual measurement... tape doesn't lie.

    He’s also got injury issues. The best ability is availability

    A source with the team is better than no source at all...

    lol would be absolutely hilarious if we drafted Dylan Harper when we have scoot

    two short ball dominant guards. What could go wrong?

    Again, Marang is not with the team. As far as I'm concerned he's just a guy saying stuff and I've got plenty of those sorts of dubious sources here already

    Harper is listed as 6’6 on Tankathon. I’ve never seen him so I have no idea what is true, but I consider that tall for a PG if accurate.

    I noticed that when he's on the post-game show (on K2) he's spinning a different yarn than he does on his show(s).

    Last I paid attention he was listed at 6’4. Been a while though so maybe he grew.

    I'm sure that when actual measurements are done he will come out as 6'3 or 6'4 barefoot. I recall his father was always listed at 6'6, but that was when everyone was allowed to lie about height.

    The Blazers have some work to do. There are currently 8 teams that are still winless and some of them are 0-3. The Flagg influence is strong.

    Flagg is still only 17, gets 22 points against Morgan St.


    Ace Bailey (25) and Dylan Harper (20) combine for 45 against St Johns.


    Flagg is a 'do-it-all' forward who has a smoothness to him.
    Harper reminds me a lot of Brunson in his ability to create shots without a lot of explosiveness.
    Bailey has advanced ability to make shots from the perimeter and on turnarounds with a very high release point.

    I wouldn't be disappointed with any of these guys.
