Looks like Ayton and Brog are back tonight, very winnable game with their young PG out

We might have already set the record for a concussion

This seemed to devolve into a McDonald’s All-American exhibition at times, but that fourth quarter was fun.

Finally got a moment from Scoot tonight. I’m hoping he’s really getting into a groove and that Chauncey puts him back as a starter with Ant and Sharpe at 2 and 3 respectively.

I want to see those 3 starting again for a couple games. We got literally like half a game sample from that in Game 1.

Yeah I hope Scoot gets more burn than brogdon moving ahead bare minimum. Even if we don't win a ton that development time is huge

I would suggest to let him keep building his confidence and coming off the bench as its working well, perhaps midseason we can start him if he keeps up this improved level of play

Scoot starting to show signs of dominance in short runs. Would love to see his 3 ptr become reliable so haters can stfu

I have a feeling wishing for that in his first year or two is a pipe dream. He is a better 3 point shooter than he has shown by a bit probably, but acting like it's going to be extremely effective is not going to happen for now.
