What does Scoot do well?

As if on queue…

Haliburton came in shooting over 40% on over 5 threes per game. In college he averaged 43% from 3. It's not a comparison.

Ah beat me to it

 

[Propagandist]

play fast, and that's pretty much it. I would be surpised if he becomes more than a Backup PG in his career. Huge dissapointment

I don’t even see him use his speed. It’s really too bad.

I hope Scoot will be really good someday; right now he is hurting the team.

Take a look at the plus minus.

 

[illmatic99]

This lineup is not ideal.

 

[Predator]

What does Scoot do well?

Foul

 

[blazerfan11]

Is Billups too busy to be bothered?

 

[OneSport3]

Haliburton shot nearly 41% from 3 on nearly 300 attempts as a rookie.

Thanks. I already said I was wrong. In fact he has been an elite 3 point shooter his entire career at over 40%. Appreciate it though.

 

[B-Roy]

Scoot needs a ton of work, both mentally and from a skills standpoint. The physical profile is there.

 

[Chris Craig]

Is Billups too busy to be bothered?

Yes.

Busy in his own world.

 

[Paine Tablet]

That last shot sequence by Scoot was amazing. I have never seen anyone dribble like that.

 

[B-Roy]

LMAO the dare at Scoot there.

 

[B-Roy]

Holy shit Scoot.....

 

[Propagandist]

Scoot just doesn’t do anything. I’m good to be patient, but he literally hasn’t even offered a glimpse of one thing to get excited about.

 

[blazerfan11]

Scoot is 2-3 on 3-pointers in this game.

 

[Labinot41]

NBA is not G-league

 

[B-Roy]

Scoot will have 2-3 minute stretches where he looks like the worst player on the planet.

 

[blazerfan11]

The Blazers' offense totally ignoring Ayton's scoring potential again.

 

[B-Roy]

Matisse is incredible. He has almost no stats but you can feel his impact on the game.

 

[blazerfan11]

PLEASE don't let Brogdon shoot the team out of this one.

 

[Hoopguru]

Grants having a good game…

 

[blazerfan11]

Ayton is right there to be used to win this game. Instead it'll be a familiar ending.

 

[Hoopguru]

PLEASE don't let Brogdon shoot the team out of this one.

The thing is we need scoring.

 

[OneSport3]

I can see why the front office plans to keep Brogdon and Grant around for a while. This team would easily be worst in the league without them. Scoot and Shaedon just aren’t ready yet.

 

[Hoopguru]

Pacers are one if the top scoring teams.

 

[Predator]

One thing you can bank on: If Malcolm Brogdon shoots and misses a 2pt, Blazerfan11 is gonna say something about it.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I'd rather have Scoot and all his mistakes than Brogdon.

 

[B-Roy]

Matisse is incredible. Seriously.

 

[blazerfan11]

The thing is we need scoring.

Did you watch the end of the last game? Brogdan missed about 5 shots in a row, including getting blocked by Giannis with 14 seconds left in the game.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

What is Ayton doing?
