That sums up my impression. Little Scooter plays too fast for his talent level. He should play more thoughtfully, like other rookies. An amazing percentage of his hurried passes are off a few inches, ruining whatever he is trying to do. In the rare times something elementary works, he prances, proudly smiles, and pulls at his jersey. He's a conceited high schooler, in over his head.
I watch games for free, so almost always the opposing broadcasters. Usually they start boisterous about him being a high pick, then gradually lower their expectations. Walt Frazier said with fatigue in his voice, he has a lot to learn.
Many start with the cliche that the game must be slowing down for the rookie. I wish I could tell them, it's the reverse. This error machine needs to play more slowly, not faster.
I'm sure they tried. Maybe he's not uncoachable, just hard to tame, like a wild horse. Eventually he'll be domesticated, but this year, this maniac may be the most error-prone yet self-praising rookie I've ever seen.
