I thought as an nba community it would already be know that it takes point guards a longer time than other positions to adjust to the NBA. Glad to see scoot flashing the star potential that was evident on his g leauge inite tape more often recently. If he can have a similar shooting development to deaaron fox he’s going to become a really scary player

[@johnmarkson1998]

with the way defense has been most of us are expecting at least 15 points a game even 2 3 games in.

[@BrooklynBalla]

Especially PG’s with no high level college experience.

Yup, his rookie comp is very similar to Fox. Nearly identical. I don't think any Blazer fan would complain if that was his trajectory.

[@JacobKraemer414]

I was so high on scoot when he got drafted. He started out rough but I’m so glad he is playing better and is having resurgance. Can’t wait to see were he is at in a few years.

[@pierceliu9914]

Portland is still not using him right. He’s not an off ball guard. You’re rebuilding so give him all the touches and minutes and let him develop

[@gregbors8364]

They’re rebuilding but they also have Ant Simons who’s only 24 and also needs the ball in his hands. I expect that one of them will be traded in the next two seasons

[@walktheworld]

@@gregbors8364 I hope it's Ant that gets traded because he's not a point guard. When he plays point the offense stagnates and most of his assists come from passing out when he's doubled. Similar to CJ. But when Scoot plays point the offense looks a lot more active. Now that his shooting is improving, I'm not worried about any of the other things so astutely pointed out in this video because he is improving so rapidly. I remember how bad Dame's finishing was in his first year. Now look at him.

[@gregbors8364]

@@walktheworld I assume Ant will be traded but not until next season at least

[@walktheworld]

@@gregbors8364 Cronin has shown he won't be pressured into making a rushed decision, so you may be right. With the new CBA kicking in next year, good players who are not on max contracts such as Ant will probably be desirable because three max players (as on the Suns) will not be possible anymore.

thanks for the upload, I was this close to dropping him in my fantasy league lol

[@yaboykev536]

I'm a Pistons fan and want to remind everyone Cade Cunningham was a abysmal the first month or so of his career too. Due to him missing all of last season due to injury this is essentially his 2nd season. Right now he's at 22, 7 and 4 on 45/34/85 shooting splits. All development isn't linear. Some of these guys just take some time. I mean look at Scoot's coach. After being given up on by multiple teams in his first 5 years or so Chauncey Billups eventually developed into arguably the best player on our 2004 title team. It's jarring because Scoot came in with so much fanfare, but just be patient.

[@easyyeye]

In da middle like Oreo cream

[@jackmoody235]

the launching before there is an actual finishing opportunity is what Ja does so well and its what makes him so difficult to stop. Scoot doesn't have the hangtime or at least he hasn't figured out how to use it.

He doesn’t have ja hangtime, but it’s above average

[@chrisschaeffer9661]

Good journalism. No Hot Take BS like most. As a Blazer Fan since 79 I wouldn't Trade Scoot for Any Player in the NBA. I've been watching Forever and know Greatness when I sew it. So many of these Hot Take are gonna Eat there Words. They'll be on his jock soon.

[@lilscrappy50cent20]

I truly think we made the right decision getting scoot! didnt look so good in the beginning but hes starting to prove the doubters wrong! scoot will be one of the best guards in the league by next year!

[@pewpew9193]

People need to not get too high or too low on Rookies. Some guys develop really slow (Giannis) & then you have the rare guys that come into the NBA at near All-Star level (LeBron, Luka). The majority of players are going to fall into the middle of this & we won't be able to get a good read on their trajectory for a couple years. As far as Scoot goes, we can see a few things about his game already. He can play out of control, isn't a good shooter & can't reliably create seperation. What he does have is explosiveness & playmaking. That's the foundation he has to build off of.

[@Bluebirdfalling]

Lenth and strenth plus passing. Yes, he has gotten much better.

[@bradymote490]

[@coreyshafarman8918]

I definitely think the hardest thing to do as a rookie in the NBA is to be a teenage PG. It was unfair for anyone to expect him to hit the ground running and be an effective player immediately

[@SuperStewie83]

I thought calling him a bust a month into his first season was very premature. It takes most point guards several years before figuring out the NBA game. Good to see he’s improving

[@TrueTrueTrue22]

Just saw him play in Denver, bro shot like 1-11 going into the third, he passed well and played good defense but he was just not hitting shots, could’ve won them the game.

[@jbackart2345]

All this video don’t matter when he goes 3/16 on the same day. it’s the same scoot Henderson for now

[@SophiaGailecruz-pr8oo]

No question on his offensive skills the problem is in his defense. He is undersized and often targeted/exploited by bigger guards.

[@thuggwaffle8825]

He looked incredibly nervous the first 25 games or so. He’s definitely looking way better now. I think he will be great eventually

[@phona4529]

Nobody’s talking about it but the eye exam seems to be part of the improvement as well

Pg is the position with the biggest learning curve and i will say his style is still quite raw. Lets look at scoot when he is done his rookie contract then judge if he is a bust or a star or what

He’s definitely not a bust. This video alone shows that

[@baseboardmatt]

It’s the glasses. Dude literally became a different player when he went rec specs.

[@keithanderson2148]

Watched him live vs the bucks, if he gets his ball handling in control he will be a problem. Blew by dame and got a reverse dunk and had 3-4 rim runs that easily wouldve gotten called and-1 if he wasnt a rookie. Hes got a soft touch it was great to see him warming up with floaters and then immediately check in the game and hit one.

[@kennybowens4983]

He’s a child playing the hardest position in the league I wish ppl would chill and enjoy the ride lol

[@itzmarvinplays1605]

Everybody should know that small guards take longer to develop, and don’t forget that Jamal Murray also averaged 10 points and 2 rebounds per game and now he’s a superstar, there’s a reason scoot was 3rd overall pick because he was also a generational talent, once he gets his groove he’s gonna be a superstar trust me on that!

[@EthanWilkes]

scoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot iykyk

[@Chili65]

Trae and Luka has kind of skewed how guards are supposed to develop. Both of them were anomalies and now everyone thinks that guards must be like them or theyre bust but in reality, guards take the longest to fully adjust to the league.

[@EllinoItalos]

People expect a fully developed all-star right out of the box. That will happen occasionally, but less and less in this era of guys entering the league after no college or just 1 year of it.

He reminds me of young Westbrook. Both super athlethic rim runners. He just gotta take his time and work on his game in off-season.

Last time rookie to get that much attention from defenses was when Luka was a rookie.
