Good luck

Scoot Henderson is kicking ass Scoring-wise. Way better than his teammates (except one).
I don't know why, when Scoot was making every 3-pointer in the first half, Deni Avdija and the team were looking for anyone else to take 3-pointers.
Why are Camara and Clingan taking 3-pointers instead of Scoot?
4 attempts per game for Clingan at 16.7%, and 4.7 attempts for Camara at 28.6%. WHY?
This Scoot we're seeing in the Playoffs is a perfect partner for Deni Avdija. Avdija draws a lot of the defense to himself.
(Scoot would be great with Dame too.)
But after the defense collapses they have to get Scoot the ball when he's open. Make the extra pass sometimes!
The first guy that catches it doesn't have to shoot.

One other guy, Robert Williams III, is getting it done at a high level. Shout out to the Timelord!

Grant with a 4.7 PER. So glad we are paying him all that money. He is sure earning it.
