Yes. We can’t just hand the keys over to a 19 year old. Luckily, Simons is going to be a good test for Scoot to overcome. If Simons continues with the usual 25+ppg and 6apg without Dame throughout an entire season, it’s going to be hard for Scoot to suddenly just overtake him. The only way for Scoot to suddenly start over Simons is if Scoot is vastly better on defense or he is a superior PG. I don’t expect that in year 1, but I could expect it beginning in year 2.

There’s just as much to be excited about in Ant as there is in Scoot. As the #1 PG, he was putting up Deaaron Fox kind of numbers. 25/3/6 on, say, .45/.42/.90 at an additional two years at $25m/yr is quite a bargain of a contract. Let’s make Scoot earn that starting spot, then we’ll flip Ant for assets or a forward or big who can help Scoot right away.

Paolo was 19 and started every game (72) he played and got 34 minutes per game.
That's what should be happening with Scoot.
Simons is not a good point guard. Scoot is.
Simons battle for my minutes has to be with Sharpe, not Scoot.

Scoot is easily a better ball handler and facilitator.

While I agree, I think the starting lineup will be Scoot/Ant/Sharpe/Grant/?

PERFECT opportunity for Ant to elevate his trade value.

So you’re saying you’re fine not maximizing Ant’s value to trade?

I’d say maximizing Ant’s value is more important than making sure Scoot starts asap. It’s not like 50 games coming off the bench to start his career is going to affect his development, especially when Scoot will also be playing 30mpg already.
 
I've finally figured out why I so high on Scoot. Simply put, he is a student of the game. He eats, sleeps, breathes basketball. He understands the business side of the game, the taking care of your body part, the need to watch film, and you can see it in his game.

Dude, he isn't a student... he's an addict. The guy is in love with basketball.

It's the same opportunity for Scoot to elevate his trade value. Everyone can elevate their trade value because fuck everyone, everyone is a trade asset. Perpetual roster turnover just because!!!

I think Ant is going to play great. I think he’s going to average similar numbers to last year’s games without Dame.

I think Ant averages 25/3/6 on ~.45/.40/.90 next year. He’s going to have a market if he averages close to that 11 game stretch but over a bigger sample size. Now we’re looking at any team who doesn’t have a legit AS-level PG. Toronto would be a team desperate for him. BOS, BRK, LAC, LAL, ORL, WAS, SAS are all teams that could also be interested in Ant if he produces at an AS level out the gate imo.

Who cares this season? They’re trying to lose.

Can't imagine why. If it comes to it in the second half, so be it, but you start the season building mindset and culture. I can assure you that the players and coach have no intention of tanking this year.
 
Scoot is playing against Victor on NBAtv right now and another one right after that one.
 
Just got done watching scoot against Victor team first game of there last season. Offense I was surprised due to not just his scoring but how he set up players up to score. Now let tell what I didn't like was his defense really look lost on that end but again his first game of last year. So what I be watching for in summer league how much progress he made at that end of the court.

If Wembanyama can't hold his ground against stronger/stouter post scorers, it could look like this:
