Henderson said his parents named him Scoot as a baby, because he scooted across the floor real fast
 
No more Tim Frazier or Shabazz Napier when Dame rests...this is going to give us a monster bench leader...we got a Manu Ginobli

When we have drafted for fit we have been totally boned.

I am not saying that Scoot wasn't the right pick and we'll see if there are trades. I just want him to be able to maximize his game wherever he is. I don't want Shaedon held back, if we keep Scoot I don't want to see him held back and if we keep Dame I want to win now.

Those wants don't really fit together. Fit matters. You definitely don't draft for fit this high but when constructing the roster we head into the season with we better be considering fit a lot more than we have since LaMarcus left.

What don't you like about his game? He is Russell Westbrook reborn which I think is fantastic.

G league is not the NBA just does not pass the eye test. There is reason he went three. If he was that good he would have gone 2. I would have picked one of the twins over him

I've got to disagree with you. This dude has such great burst, handle, passing and finishing... his athleticism should translate to big time defense. He's going to be an all star guard in this league.

If the Spider was not in this draft, he would have went 1. Hornets have LaMelo Ball so really not surprised they took Miller. He has gotten all the praises has Henderson and has done well against NBA caliber players and international players also. I think he will be a very good player tbh.

Bruh it was known for months he might go 2 and pretty much didnt get picked 2nd because of fit. thats it. it was literally just because of the team fit. That should never be a knock on a player who is in the mix for top 3. Like wut?

What Mike Schmitz has in store for 23?

My guess is a trade for more immediate help.

However, if that doesn't materialize, I've been more and more warming up to Jacquez unless someone really drops. I think Jacquez is going to be a player that comes in and helps very quickly, might never be a star but will make your team better with skill, toughness and intangibles. Not the guy I liked for the longest time, but the more I watched and read others I respect talk about him, the more I think he's the type of guy who's on every good team.

High School isn’t the NBA either and LeBron turned out ok. Twins played in G league too so I don’t get your argument.
 
The idea that anybody doubts our evaluation of prospects is hilarious now that we have Schmitz. How all of our talent will fit together will be interesting but the fact is we just got a great basketball player.
 
So... Orlando now has three big PGs who can't shoot? My guess is that Jalen Suggs will be on the move soon.

I don't think the twins even played in the GLeague they played in some lower league than that.

I'm no expert, but I agree with some guy who said if you have two guys who can't shoot, you take the more athletic and taller one. Amen. Hope I am wrong or that Scoot is still going to give us good return in a trade.
 
Shocked Walker and Whitmore are both still on the board
