The PG is one of the hardest positions to learn in the NBA. He is slowly adapting and adjusting his game. He is athletically gifted and has great size for a PG.

[@wordtomymuvva5063]

Great size? Ig I feel like bigger pgs are starting to strive

[@David-nh2dn]

Yeah and the center position both take time

[@nicholasreeve7452]

He’s got long arms, huge hands, and he’s built, as a rookie he’s already stronger than most guards- not only that but he’s really slithery and agile, so defensively he’s a pest and he has a really high motor. Physically he’s around the same height as guys like Dame and Curry but he has a completely different athletic profile and as a defender he can capably switch much better, he rebounds well and catches some surprise blocks on closeouts learning from Thybulle and Sharpe (two pogo sticks who excel in that area as guards.)

[@faubourglincoln]

I disagree. It’s the easiest position for a rookie. Look at Doncic, he was fat, slow and too big for the position, despite all of that, he had a very good 1st season in the NBA.

[@myles4K]

doesn’t explain his shooting inconsistencies just because he’s PG but he’s still young will improve he needs to become more efficient in all of his 20 point games he’s taken 20+ FGA which is very bad and isnt winning basketball, these are things that are going to improve though and hes already a top playmaker

[@syd8477]

I couldn't be more happy to see this young man has finally find his groove. Go Scoot, don't let those 'Bust' talks get through you!

[@j-us-t_be-in-g]

He has good shot mechanics...maybe he just needs to tweak it a little. His feel for the game is there. It's more about feel of the game and his teammates like he mentioned. The speed of the NBA is different than the G-League. In addition, he has been injured, which led to him missing some games, so he has had to get re-acclimated with the speeds of the game. You can tell Scoot wants to be a student of the game by the way he approaches it if people watch carefully.

[@Raider2Pac]

Such harsh judging of struggling first year players seems like a new thing. Bro I feel is an extremely hard worker with unique athletic gifts, think he'll be just fine. Thanks for making this video 💯

[@chrisschaeffer9661]

It's is. It's Hot Takes, flavor of the week short sightedness. This whole new sports can't be trusted because they are too Knee Jerk and are Weong more than Right. Peace

[@JamaalDaGreatest]

It’s definitely not a new thing. It’s been a thing for the past 25+ years. Players are criticized harsher now though thanks to social media. People expect rookies to come in and be great right off the bat and hold them to such high expectations, not realizing that even 15 years ago most players played more than one season in college. Guys had a chance to grow stronger and bigger and thus produce better a couple years ago, now they no longer have that luxury and people don’t realize that these guys are 18/19 years old and haven’t had the adequate time to actually adjust and grow stronger and acclimate to the style of play and pace. Back when players spent years in college, they were coming in more NBA ready because they were playing other players who would go on to join the league who had developed more I know Scoot played in the g league but that might as well have been college, he didn’t even play a full season. Yes some players have no problem adjusting, but one year removed from high school isn’t long enough for most guys to actually develop their game and adjust enough to the league. It’s insane the expectations we place on these guys.

[@DJchestr]

Glad he's getting there. He's got a great mindset.

[@jamesportee1102]

Give the boy some time people, you can see him improving ... Fans dont realize how lucky we got with Dame, how he was impactful and game changing right away, and the fact he was 22 as a rookie. Its not fair to expect that to be the standard.

[@fern6498]

With how the big mans right now is very good in orchestrating the offense, smaller point guards need to be all star level to become relevant

[@Gator656]

Scoot is really just beng rushed in my opinion when or if he adjusts he'll be crazy ❤

[@JosePlata]

25 pts (L) and 22/11/7 (W) in back to back games vs Spurs. I like to see his numbers for the past 10 games.

[@jruiz3936]

Last 10 games averages 29.0 minutes 15.8 points 41 percent from the field 43 percent from three 91 percent from the line 5.5 assists 3.0 rebounds And 3 double doubles

[@JosePlata]

@@jruiz3936 THANK YOU.

[@obuzbiayniedzwiedz658]

Maybe not silencing, but he is showing flashes of great play

[@chrisschaeffer9661]

He's got it. Games slowing down for him and he's only 19. He just needs reps!! Might have to Trade Simons for Scoot ti develope. We need help in the middle. Especially on D

[@TheRealSuperYonin]

Simons is not the pg we need i agree on trading him...

[@Dyce2k]

Rough start.. he got hurt at the beginning of the year 🤦🏾‍♂️ why does no one factor that in

[@JohnCampbellARM]

No one really got a good idea of how good Shaedon Sharpe could be until the last 10 games of his rookie season . Scoot is already beginning to show how good a player he can be and we're just a third of the way into his rookie season. What stands out to me is how next level some of his passes are. Not just next level. Next galaxy. And that's what I want from a point guard. Assists. Passing the ball which shows that he takes advantage of the his teammates scoring positions during the game. And of course, scoring, which he's beginning to do during this month of December with two double doubles and almost a third. I liked the pick, but felt that he needed to come off the bench until he was truly NBA game speed ready. Again, using Shaedon Sharpes rookie year history as an example. Brogdon has been a good PG to learn from and now Scoot appears to be arriving at NBA game speed level. I'm really looking forward to seeing how he continues to elevate his game.and help the rest of the Blazers games.

[@user-jh8id3lf8x]

He getting better ❤

[@SaucyPterodactyl]

he reminds me of kyrie with those crazy finishes

[@monkeymoo87]

As a smaller guard, he's live or die by his jumper

[@KernalPancakes]

Scoot has had a lot asked from him just being 19. I've seen every game and watched him very closely. He's gonna be a star one day and there's no question in my mind.

[@otepdotnet]

he needs to be more aggressive and keep attacking the rim it will boost his confidence, Ja and Westbrook started as an aggressive guard and midrange shot will develop in time.

[@mathewerenberger7275]

He just needed some goggles who knew

[@VxnSmith]

feel like he needs to develop his left hand dribbling and finishing then he will be unstoppable

[@weeman6970]

I heard the xinjiang flying tigers desperately in need of a PG

[@SikoMC]

scoot is a great guy and seems to have a lot of love for the sport! it's so sad if media drags young "kids" down telling they're a bust after just a few games.. pre draft hype just sucks.. even tho he went "only" 3rd he was hyped up as clear cut #1 pick in any year without a wemby or maybe a bron in his class.. thats how much he got hyped up! and it's really not scoot's fault if media sets crazy expectation and afterwards media feels disapointed.. just let him arrive in the league and i'm sure he will be great in a few years !

[@TheHaha1124]

Yeah they give people two games max and want to call top picks bust

[@robertheron7017]

Can't believe people are so easy to right him of not even half way through the season

[@CC-ix8nn]

He’s scores like 22 points on 22 shots that’s not good at all

[@BarnzTT]

Took years for Billups to find his game.

[@SonnyK248]

Looking at Ant and Sharpe you could argue that they don't even need Scoot. But if Scoot also becomes that player he was tipped to become then that team is going to be a big problem for the league.

[@erichong4786]

I don't think he's silencing his critics cause he ain't a shooter like Ja.

[@chrisschaeffer9661]

Shooter? Great choice of words . I hope the Irony is not missed on you.

[@williamnelson2450]

@@chrisschaeffer9661right what is dude yapping ab?

[@thedatajanitor9537]

He's certainly not a bust but he was certainly overhyped. The league is hard as shit no matter how talented you are. Look at Wemby. Just another skilled Bol Bol.

[@Ddogg312]

Hes a true pg, he doesnt fit with combo guards, either him or ants gotta go

[@0xBULLgogi]

Eh. Can't make me change my mind, this dude is Emmanuel Mudiay 2.0

[@ringwormsherm]

If you look at a lot of star players today, they are never insanely good right away. That can go for any sport. Except for rare breeds like Luka that just pop off instantly. I think by seasons end Scoot will be averaging 15 and 6 or 7 and that is very respectable for a 19 year old PG

[@angriestbird3578]

I could care less about what he did over a month. Let’s just judge him after the seasons over.

[@wolffofcinema3448]

Yeah, hyping up 13 ppg in the month of Dec kinda proves the haters right, but I’m still holding out hope he does become as good as advertised.

After 1 game🤡🤡🤡

[@iberrypa]

He still has potential and has been improving slightly each game but he is struggling to finish from everywhere on the floor. Most advanced metrics say he has been the worst player in the league on offense to play over 500 minutes. If he had been drafted late first round he doesn't even see the floor. He is also pretty bad on defense and struggles off ball. I am a blazer fan and was happy when he fell past Charlotte but him going from historically terrible to just bad isn't going to silence critics. I wanted us to trade the #3 pick for Zion but that was probably just ESPN rumors and never possible. Blazers have a funky roster with decent rotation vets and a bunch of young players who are terrible according to advanced metrics. I kind of hope blazers do a complete reshuffle and move everyone they can but Ant for other pieces since the jump started re-build doesn't work if Scoot is mediocre. With a Mitchell, Lavine or Siakam they could become a good defensive team with an ok offense but that seems really hard to pull off with the current contracts and no free agents ever picking Portland.

[@younggoose7315]

Man shut up and let him develop

[@eltrain8694]

For someone who types that much, to not see how Scoot is progressing is wild. Screw advanced metrics when it comes to 19 year old rookie. Hype or not. He's looked waaay more comfortable this last month...especially in last night's game. C'mon man...

[@kmf1392]

You must not have been watching the last 10 or so games. With that comment, you definitely did not watch his last game.

[@Dsneedy]

This is one if the worst takes I’ve ever heard 😂😂😂

[@iberrypa]

In the last 5 games Scoot has shot 33 of 88 or 37.5%. On the season he is shooting 36.6% so I guess its progress. He also has 22 turnovers or 4.4 per game which would be the highest rate in the league.

[@nickgatello5336]

im glad dame left bcoz scoot is trash
