Definitely not. He’s a really cool dude but the reason he had a good season is because he’s on the Mavs. Perfect fit for him. Trade him to another team and he’ll look a lot worse

Bilal Coulibaly should go top 10 in a redraft alone for his potential

[@YourWorstNightmare3333]

He doesn’t understand basketball

[@antiontaylor262]

GG Jackson like several said. With Ja & Bain out, he literally played like a first option on many nights. All of his hype coming out of highschool proved to be correct, even after his weak college season. For his rookie season showing, I think he's a top 5 pick easily.

[@terrellfromig]

Right now Scoot is viewed negatively but his upside is still so high and he showed in the second half of the season that he can be great

[@killerwolfkills_5906]

Na he asss 😂

[@emilfrederiksen.1622]

Its just lower than people thought it would be

[@obi3924]

Not hating, but I’m not convinced that he has all star upside anymore. When your number 1 skill that’s supposed to translate to the NBA is finishing at the rim, and then you come in and aren’t good at that, it’s usually not a good sign. He could probably be a quality starting guard one day

[@Dipset415]

[@Therealjimcramer]

So many casual fans in the comments section. Rookie point guards have the toughest job in the league. Scoot will be fine

[@sahilshaji5709]

Why would the magic pick ausar who cannot shoot 3s well, when they clearly needed spacing in the playoffs?

[@emilfrederiksen.1622]

Good wing depth piece and more defense you can't say no to that.

[@sainikjr]

This guy has odd takes at times. I agree

[@CahlilWesson]

ithink he didnt want him to slide too low

[@YourWorstNightmare3333]

Because he has no clue about basketball. Most likely just a highlights merchant and advanced stat nerd.

[@shutyourmouthinc]

Way too low

[@romanhasler6164]

If you look what we saw you wouldnt take henderson on 4.

@@luisquinteros7492 He will be 24 next season and he was not that good the 2nd half of last season. I think he can be a very good role player and in most drafts he would be higher but this is one of the most talented classes in recent memory

@@bkelly625 he’s going to prove you wrong this year

[@MrBubblecake]

Brandon Podziemski’s name is pronounced (pod-zim-ski) And if you’re asking how I know that, it’s because my mom’s second husbands name is Wiczalkowski (Wiz-zol-cow-ski) and her maiden name is Grudzinski (Grud-zin-ski) so I know a thing or two about polish names lol

[@THEEJoeSmith]

Scoot was SUPER disappointing since for a PG his frame is already filled out but MAN he couldn’t shoot or finish for shit

[@nitoshadow]

As a mavs fan why tf would we draft a guard? It doesn’t makes sense Bad take

[@SinaSoh]

I agree with you. However if Lively would have been taken like in this redraft (unfortunately) Wallace would be my choice, maybe Jarrace Walker. Dwight and maxi would have still been centers 1 & 2 and that would have been a bummer.

[@nitoshadow]

@@SinaSoh needed anything but a guard They coulda traded the pic for a big Or traded up or down but it was no need for a guard

right lol Mavs have arguably the best guard rotation in the league

Man these takes just keep getting worse and worse. The worse Thompson twin goes 3 picks higher and JJJ goes 9? I think it’s time to go back to the day job.

[@angeldust7777]

Yeah it's trash 💩💩💩

[@starbug45]

As a Mavs fan Walker and Hendricks were the dream picks going into draft. Guess it's true , you can't allways get what you want but if you try you get what ya need.

[@perfectcell2663]

Scoot over ausar is ludicrous. Scoot was one of the worst players in the league. Podziemski is not a better pick than ausar and he’s way too high.

[@313drepeso313]

Wouldn't say Scoot was the worst rookie last year, but everything else you were spot on.

[@MotpyrCNesia]

For me Podz and Thompson bros is future role players and these guys can turn into something special in the next 5 years. 1. Wemby 2. Miller 3. Jaime 4. Bilal 5. Ricky Council IV (undrafted)

[@nitoshadow]

Hate wen ppl do these and don’t do the whole draft or atleast the fulll 2st round

[@truthnotfeelings]

Scoot at 4 is crazy

[@Ff1balla7]

how

[@Dipset415]

Facts he should be behind pods frfr

[@mikeysbusy]

Scoot potential is 5x better than podz ngl…podz has a higher floor and could be a Donte type of player

[@truthnotfeelings]

@@mikeysbusy I’m glad you’re supporting the boy and yes Podz has a higher Floor because he’s already doing high level things as a rookie (defence and 3s) But who was the last 6’2 guard to win a championship as a top 3 on the team player who couldn’t shoot? Tony Parker and he had 2 top 75 all time players on his team and the arguable the goat coach. The likelihood of Scoot being a future all star , very high. But unless he fixes his 3 ball , that will likely be it. Oh and Ja isn’t a great shooter but you know what Ja is , a great finisher. Scoot struggled to finish in the g league and nba

[@ted_shelton]

No way in hell I’m letting scoot be that high in a redraft. When Lively, Jaime, and Brandon still on the board.

This list is ridiculous. Dereck Lively should be ranked #3 or #4. What a bum take!

[@sungodnigga15]

Lol Lively is dependent on Luka and Kyrie. Without them, he cannot create his own offense

[@shutyourmouthinc]

​@@sungodnigga15 why would that matter for a center? PPG is not more important than winning impact. The stats actually suggested the team is below average without Lively, in fact they sucked in the playoffs and regular season when Lively went off the floor even when Luka and Kyrie were playing. So really it's Lively anchoring the defense and providing a lob threat/screener is what got the team to the finals. People so obsessed with players creating their own shot they forget it's a team game

[@Ash38122]

I wanna believe in Scoot but he was just too ass for me in his rookie season

[@shutyourmouthinc]

​@@Shortballa11 He's a center. You want a center who's elite in the pick and roll. He's also the most impactful defender on a finals team. This is like not taking a point guard because he relies on big men to set his screens. It's sad that fans nowadays care more about getting your own shot than playing winning team basketball, which Derek Lively arguably does better than any other rookie in his class.
