@dellblackman4565 Ай бұрын

I understand your perspective on Scoot and from the outside looking in, just looking at the numbers and percentages, it certainly can appear this way. But, if you're a Blazer fan who knows more about Scoot than those outside of Blazer land and who has seen all of his games, etc., you know it's not nearly this bleak with Scoot. He still has all the promise and potential he had the day he was drafted, it's only taking longer to get there than the consensus had initially assumed. He's coming along and he will be fine. But you're right in that within the current context with who he is surrounded by and with the coaching he's had, his developmental curve has been impacted In a re-draft the only player I would have taken both then or now ahead of Scoot would have been one of the Thompson twins, first Amen, then Ausar. But, that didn't happen and most of us fans have accepted Scoot and have embraced him.

while i get it… you can’t really be talking bad about Scoot if you aren’t watching every game and every possession led by him… he’s taken a massive leap imo, he looks way more comfortable, turnovers are down and he has a keen eye for passing the ball into the right spots and getting his teammates involved. it might take a little bit longer for him to be the guy we all thought he was but he’s shown flashes this year.

The problem Podz has had in year 2 is not that complicated: the warriors added players at his position, and he's struggled with illness and injury for a bit. The influx of depths has affected all the young players on the team. Moses Moody is playing less, Podz is playing less, Kuminga is coming off the bench. It's not just that the warriors added Heild and Waters in the offseason, it's that veteran GP2 is finally healthy and finally playing again after being hurt for the better part of 2 years. The warriors young players are fine and on pace, nothing more than the ups and downs of being a young player.

yeah, I’ve actually seen a G league game of him he looks like a monster. Honestly, the Rockets need to find a way to get him some more minutes he’s too talented not get a chance It just sucks because they’re such a deep team. Like this team goes like 11 deep. And he needs to get better on Defense but he’s offenses game is something the Rockets need to utilize way more .

Cam is a 2/3 and is not a great defender yet. Jabari is a 4/5 and is a defender that can shoot, but has been in a slump. If he continues to struggle, Tari has earnedthose minutes. Jabari showed his game last night, but he will have to get more consistent. Once Cam learns that being a ball-stopper in the NBA is not a good trait, he will be ready to be a good bench player.

Crazy how Scoot was considered #1 pick over Wemby at some point

@daxc9332 Ай бұрын

Scoot has been looking better the past few games. His decision making around the rim (one of his weaknesses from last year) has looked better and hes been shooting better, albeit inconsistently. I think Anfernee Simons and Chauncey Billups are hindering his development. Edit: Toumani Camara is amazing by the way

@espymu Ай бұрын

Rockets are full of potential young players. Jalen, Alpy, Tara and Amen have shone brightly so far. Jabari is still a suspect though. I am still 50/50 on him. He can be a bit inconsistent. Cam and Reed are for the future. They have the potential to be good. Brooks and FVV are good seniors and they are leading the team well however I feel more minutes should be given to the young guns....Not forgetting the 2 Bigs, Landale and Adams.. This squad has a good chance of making into the playoffs this season. What do you think @Sros ?

Love how you say Dick’s defence has been “solid.” A lot of casuals in Raptors world talking about how terrible he is on that end due to too many blow by’s. But he makes up for it with great hands, court awareness and help defence. Often getting timely steals and blocks and he’s starting to take charges now. Solid puts it succinctly and that’s all you can ask for from someone who is potentially as elite as he is offensively

I think all the guys who came out of G League Ignite had their development screwed up. Scoot's biggest problem is that he can't finish around NBA bigs because he never had to do that in the G League.

Although I do realistically see Cam as a trade piece because im certain their is a team willing to take a flyer on the potential Whitmore brings as a still very young and athletic wing

Thanks for dropping a vid just in time for my breakfast. If I may give a suggestion, I found the randomly appearing captions a bit off-putting. It was hard guessing when they would appear and would cover entire sentences verbatim even if they do not seem to have more emphasis than points before or after it. You are able to talk clearly so it is easy to understand and the random caption was unnecessary. Maybe it would be better to reserve the captions for when you need to make corrections and statistics like you already do in the video. Love your work a lot and hopefully I didn’t come off as rude.
