Scoot offseason training

[inconceivable]

I guess Dame inspired him.

Dame shoots the most difficult, too much effort threes, he makes them more often than not tho

 

[Pinwheel1]

I mean if that's the case is he or the coaches stupid? Like seriously - just don't do that.

He took 472 threes last season second on the team to Simons - while having one of the worst percentages. 10 Blazers were more efficent from three - including multiple centers (Timelord and Reath)

If Grant/Ant/Thybulle -etc shot so much and so horrible fans would be demanding they get cut from the team.

He is still learning. I am sure the coaches are saying the same things many fans in this forum are saying:

"Be more aggressive on offense."

He needs to find that "happy medium". Hopefully, that is more aggressive in attacking the basket, while shooting mostly open 3s.

Grant and Thybulle are both spot up shooters. I think that's what Shaedon was mostly doing his rookie season.

But now we have him on the ball more often and a lot more of his threes are pull ups. That's why his percentage tanked (I think).

I guess Dame inspired him.

One of the things I hated most about the Dame era and especially how Simons began emulating it. Hope Sharpe can stop doing that.

I'm fine with those shots late in the shot clock. But they aren't high percentage looks to do as soon as guys cross mid court.

I agree with this but that dynamic seem more like 2pt attempts than 3pt to me.

Here is Shaedon't catch and shoot stats


There is Scoot and Sharpe on Catch and shoot stats.

Here is isolation




Here is pullup numbers




Just for comparison, here are Shae's stats from his rookie season
Pullups



Catch and shoot



So Sharpe shot 45.5% from three on catch and shoot threes during his rookie season. That number has tanked to 31% last season. He has actually improved his pullup three% though from 25% to 31%

The kid seems to work hard at his craft. I hope he becomes what people expected him to be.

He already is what I expected him to be.

My first thought was that Derek Fisher had horrible mechanics. He shot pretty well, but it's hard to see a shooting coach with bad form. Consistent repetition's are often the fastest way to improving. Most of the skills that players have comes from muscle memory.

Then you are winning

 

[Phatguysrule]

Then you are winning

I think last season screwed that up for this group unless we get extremely lucky.

50 mins of scoot's workout with fisher et al. handle looks tight, and lefty finishes!

 

[Everything Beagle]

I’m glad he’s taking himself seriously

 

[Everything Beagle]

looks like he added 10 lbs of muscle

I hear he’s dunking again #shawnkemp4eva

 

[LayneStaley]

Maybe signing two guys that plan on taking minutes from him will piss him off and motivate him.

 

[Natebishop3]

I feel bad for Scoot. He clearly works very hard. I think he won't get his shot here.

He's had at most 30 games under his belt where he looked like a passable NBA player. He doesn't have any kind of leg to stand on when it comes to be being pissed about anything. He hasn't earned it yet.

?? Are you saying this because of Jrue and Dame?
1. Jrue can play next to him because he can guard anyone and apparently isn't a pure PG
2. Love Jrue but he is injured a fair amount.
3. Dame won't play at all this coming season, so plenty of time for Scoot to show what he can do. Dame may be coming off the bench if and when he recovers.

If you want to feel sorry for someone, feel sorry for Caleb Love.

 

[HailBlazers]

Scoot got that GOAT mentality, I'm sure he's stoked to have two incredible mentors.

Yep. I’m sure he loves being 3rd on the depth chart

Caleb love has already taken 5 more shots on 35% efficiency while you were making this post.

 

[Foxx]

Scoot and Caleb Love get to learn from 3 hof guards. Y’all beyond crazy feelin pity on that

 

[SharpesTriumph]

I don't think these players view it that way. They all have the confidence to believe they're the best player and will be starting. Now eventually if everyone is healthy Billups will need to manage somebodies ego. But these guys don't assume they're going to be a backup.

The cynicism in this forum is so annoying. Usually the same individuals who bring this energy too.

So Dame is playing this year?

You have been pretty consistently cynical about Joe Cronin

Unlikely

Scoot vs Dame for PG

Sharpe vs Jrue for SG

Scoot and Sharpe need to prove the can be better than old post injury Dame and old declining Jrue

Exactly, if he is not playing this year, then I see no way Scoot is 3rd on the depth chart. Not too early to discuss this upcoming year, but way too soon to worry about the following one.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Behind who? Jrue and Damian Lillard's Exploding Achilles (DLEA)?

Scoot will start at least 42 games this season.

Exactly! They have (honestly) a low bar to hurdle over. If they can't do that, then they should probably be traded. This is their prove-it year.

I think if Jrue goes down, the Conductor will start Deni at pg
