Someone needs to shut up and enjoy the development of a star.
He’s actually PLAYING
It's almost like if you give him runway he can take off...
I think you also give guys like Scoot and Shaedon room enough to screw up and still know they'll have minutes in that game and future games to grow as long as overall they're trending upward. I expect this to be a good stretch for Scoot and there still to be some bad ones too but i think the bad stretches will just get fewer and further between the good ones.
Nah, he's been getting good minutes at the one lately. He has more confidence.
When our dipshit coach lets him
This is the key point. Scoot plays better when he's the lead ball handler and fully in control of making decisions. Playing him off the ball is a disaster.
It's both. He's had both lately. It's no surprise his play has improved.
Not trying to single you out, this is more of a general comment/rant. The lanes are actually same. It’s called giving him a runway to just go out there and play. Let’s see if he can ball. Whether he starts or comes off the bench is fine, he needs to be the primary playmaker. Does that mean he has to be #1 scorer, no, but he should be the guy setting up the plays and directing the team. Wins/losses don’t matter, what does is learning and he is learning more recently. Problem is the vets like having the ball too, only 1 ball though. The vets didn’t play well, but they are all high volume guys which does not work, especially when they are all fighting for touches. The vets are not the future for the team. It’s about time the team focuses on the young guys and build from there. The NBA has plenty of vets that the team and go and add to the team later. At this point I want to see all the young guys get a chance. Sharpe is getting his and so is Toumani. Scoot could be turning the corner and so deserves his spot. Others should also get some, but Joe will have to clear some room for the other young guys. I don’t want to do what they the last few seasons and have vets come down with “mysterious injury” to justify tanking. Plus it also means they are still on the team when they should have been moved. I don’t see a point in losing by 20+ and seeing the vets play a ton and dominate the ball. We have seen plenty of that over the last few seasons. I can stomach loses when the team is developing, but not this fence straddling two time line thing they are doing.
No, this has been my argument all along. The more responsibility the young guys are given the sooner they'll do better or fail. Keeping middling vets in their way will slow that down.
