Two benchmarks I'm specifically looking for this year:
  • TOV% below 14% (nearly 20% last year)
  • 60%+ FG% 0-3 ft from rim (barely 50% last year)

I think these are reasonable, still leave quite a bit of room for improvement, and would show that he's been working on the biggest, most significant issues we saw from him last year.

He'll have to start getting calls near the hoop.
 
Sure those were just highlights, but nonetheless there were quite a few exceptional highlights. If he can continue to improve from 3 so that the defenders have to close out on him, attacking the basket will be a lot easier. It seemed like the explosive plays came more towards the end of the season.
 
expectations? How about Nike buying out Scoot's Puma contract, and replacing the Ja Morant commercials with O.D.D.
 
A/TO
FG% needs to get above 40% this year
3Pt needs to get mid thirties

No reason a baller like him who's had his own gym, trainers, etc cannot improve his shot. If you are going to be A GUARD in the NBA, especially now days, you better have a shot. He has to improve big time, imo.

In platy we trust. I cosign.
 
My real growth I target with both Shae and scoot is around year 4-5+ such as w Ant, whom was another young guard that we developed into a borderline/poor man’s star simply by being patient.

We just have to be realistic until then and we can be excited for those peak years.. brick by brick

Agreed. Look at Chauncey’s career too.
 
Stop doing stupid things, like passing into the stands, dribbling off his foot, and passing to a teammate who has to leap 4 feet to catch it, and loses the opportunity to shoot. He often played like a 10-year-old. 5th grade, not as good as an average 7th grader. He was Raymond Felton. The useless Ignite coaches had taught him nothing.

Stop going crazy congratulating himself with a wide-open mouth and yanking his chest jersey, when he finally does some trivial thing right. Think like an adult, a professional, not a child.

17/7 eoy on 43/39/80 territory. Obvious improvement and plenty highlights. Crow was enjoyed

if he shoots 39% from 3 then we no doubt made the right decision and he’s gonna be a star.
I’ll be happy with 34/35%
 
Clean up his turnovers and finish at the rim...he's been pretty bad at finishing in the paint. The kid needs to work on everything...catch and shoot 3s...passing ...his left hand, etc.
 
A successful season for me would be if he can stay on the floor. That means less turnovers and less fouls. This hurt the team more than his shotmaking, putting us in foul trouble early or just throwing away a possession. Those would be considered prerequisites I guess.

1) Have another season shooting 80%+ from the ft line, on more attempts. His shot is still so much of a work in progress that he could average 38% from 3 this season and then back to 32% next season. He shot 81.9% last season on 3.3fta. Another 80%+ from ft season on maybe 6fta would give me more confidence in his shot coming around eventually.

2) 7apg. That would be a modest increase from his production last season of 5.4apg. A modest increase would also have to be accompanied by last to’s as well.

3) 44-45% fg. He had last season to feel out the game, we need to see an improvement with his finishing ability.

That would be a successful season to me. I’ll look at his 3pt% and ppg average with more critique at the end of his third season when his extension talks come up.
 
My expectations are improvement.
Shoot better
Turn the ball over less
Defend better

His per 36 numbers are 17/7 with 4 TOs a game. I think if he can average around there in 30-32 minutes, play better defense, increase his 3pt % to 33-34%, and increase his rim finishing and cut his TOs to around 3 in year 2 then I would be happy

NGL, that one he caught/shot in the air from the corner got me a little excited. I mean, who shoots alley-oop 3's?

Those were smooth!!!
Man he just looks ripped too!!!
I hope Shae be working like Scoot. If so, we have nothing to be concerned about.
