If he could hit a three it would be better.

Ironically, until this recent drought, he shot the 3 better for his career than Shaedon. Even with this slump, Shaedon's only .003 better than Scoot.

He shot 35% last year. He was 42.3% over his first four games this year and that included a game where he was 0-3.

Then everything fell apart for him in every facet of the game.

There is no question that the Hamstring injury affects your jump shot.
Maybe he can work through this and get a rhythm again?

I swear Scoot’s been in a slump since his Ignite days

Except his 3-point shooting was bordering on excellent for two weeks and then fell off a cliff. He dropped 20 percentage points in like seven games, and he wasn't just taking one or two 3s per game when he was shooting better than 43%.

Scoot's shots not broken. It looks fundamentally as it should. He just doesn't seem to believe he can make open shots anymore and I'm at a loss as to what brought that on.

The key part of that statement was “For two weeks”. Really it was 5 games and yes that makes perfect sense.

Scoot breaks out of his slump today.

or not.

Surely you meant Amen Thompson

There’s no in between - he’s either CP3-like or he’s Armon Johnson.

So far he's more like Tauran Green or Armon Johnson.

The main problem with Scoot isn't shooting or limited athleticism. Some of that can be corrected but it's his overall decision making which negatively impacts his play. Hamstring or not, I've never been a fan of the G-League mentality that his game embodies (Jalen Green is similar). That was probably the main reason I had Amen over him.

As such, I think it needs to be drilled into his head that he is not a superstar PG and should stop trying to chase that image. It'd actually make him better.

What he can be is Jrue Holiday, provided he focus on playmaking and defense while learning to settle for opportunistic scoring. If he prioritizes that, his decision making will suddenly improve and his worth will be far more valuable to the team.

Then, it's just a matter of re-adjusting to the things we saw last season, with a 35% 3pt shot (inconsistent but still decent) and the ability to slow down while driving to the rim not unlike Deni (who he worked out with)

that’s not even a question
