Exclusive All Things Scoot (1 Viewer)

I can't wait to see him in a Blazers jersey. Dude looks like the real deal even in those practice clips...

 

[theprunetang]

I'm really hoping for a Chris Paul-like renaissance.

Athletic Chris Paul has been my ceiling projection from the beginning. In fact, I have written it enough times that I only had to write "athletic" and my phone suggested "Chris" as the next word.

This kinda feels like low key shade at our other guards and I love it.

 

[Cugel]

I trust this man immensely.

Scoot also loves to push the pace. It's going to be like we had Josh Hart as a PG in that respect.

Thank God! So tired of slow paced ISO ball. lets PUSH IT young fellas!

I'm definitely reading too much into it, but in those summer league interviews, the interviewer started a line of questions to Shaedon with something like, "Dame being one of the best leaders in the league," and Sharpe didn't respond to that part, acknowledge it, or even blink.

yeah, at least we don't have to hear Brooke ask after every game "how does it feel to have the privilege to play with Dame?"

Or show us their T-Wat highlights. Eesh

That was my initial thought as well when he said "true point guard."

Athletic Chris Paul is a lofty expectation. I’d love for that to be his eventual ceiling.

Ceiling projection, not expectation. That is my upside hope after watching his game, like if everything goes right.

 

[TBpup]

Whining about not wanting to trade a #3 pick for a guy who never plays? Gee....I can't understand why.

 

[theprunetang]

I'm here for the drama. With our own Shitshow going on, I have to get joy through schadenfreude.

I'm REALLY enjoying the hell out of this off season so far. We lucked into Scoot, I've wanted Dame moved and a rebuild and that is happening, and we look to have a bright future with Scoot and Shae - let's Rock'n Roll!!!!

Let's go!

 

[BankTeller]

I’d love to continue to try to win games starting this point. We are going to have plenty of picks and assets from:
1) a Dame trade
2) a Simons trade
3) a Grant trade
I don’t see a reason to try and lose games for these next two upcoming drafts. Bring in expiring backup PGs every year. This year, bring in Wright. Eventually, I’d love to have Jrue Holiday as an expiring one day. Solid vets that can teach Scoot something new every season.

 

[Natebishop3]

The Ducks should invite him down for a game

this worries me a little bit

obviouly Mudiay is the worst case scenario for Scoot but last year they were both playing in the GLeague and they had the same stats PER36

Here's why it shouldn't worry you: Scoot was one of the youngest players in the G-League. Mudiay's 27 years old with 6 years in the NBA.

Done in an entertaining manner. Really gets to the part about smaller PG's leading their teams to the CF's as the best player on their team. That was and has been my point about Dame for years. Great player, but it's a historical anomaly to achieve that highest level of success. Hopefully, Scoot is a great PG that has and equal or better player on his team. IMO, that is the only way he achieves that level of success as well.

So Shaedon's been traded in this scenario?

We don’t need scoot to be our best player though. I want him to embrace his pure point guard. Let Shae be HIM.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Well, Sharpe was only a #7, whereas Scoot was a #3, so clearly Scoot will be the superior player.

 

[cheesehoff]

You get the point.

Summer League domination doesn't mean anything, so getting excited about summer league performance is rather meaningless.

Yep. Two perfect examples: Qyntel Woods and Batum.

Having you best player as your pg is not a recipe for success. He needs to make everyone else great

Actually was taken off-world to play against the baddies in Space Jam III.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ironically, wouldn't that MAKE him your best player? Paradox!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ah, the difference between not sufficient and not necessary. But the ol' Qyntel Woods example (that gets trotted out almost as much as the mistaken Bo Outlaw one) is misleading because he was a second year player, a la Keegan Murray this year (or poor old Trendon Watford last year).

Yes
