It's a valid criticism about the 4 > 25 USG players, but I do think that Scottie's USG has particularly been bloated in the tanking years relative to what he would typically provide in a winning environment. He's probably dropping down to low 20s with this roster.

Scottie’s 3pt stroke is broken

He’s never gonna be a reliable shooter. Hope he doesn’t attempt more than a single 3 pointer per game.

Spending years of trying to develop PG Scottie when we needed PF Scottie working on his mid range/low post game was a disaster. It was always obvious where Scottie needed to play to be a dominant player except for this delusional franchise.

Let's hope we less 3 point chucking and more going to the rim domination.

It is not about the length...it is about how you use it...at least that is what I have heard from other people...definitely not something I would ever say referring to myself. :lol:

I hope management pitches the idea of him being a 6th man type player like Manu and even taking a hometown discount.

6th man pigeon holes players into lower future earnings, no one is doing that unless we're talking about the Raps being a contender

Yup, I come here almost everyday. It’s just difficult to engage sometimes because of what you’ve observed. Just a lot of unsupported, agenda driven hot takes from posters who lack humility in any sort of debate.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

Really unfortunate, i used to lurk around here alot more and participate but it has been a steady decline the last 5 years i find. I dont think its just here though, i find alot of forums or gaming communities to be alot more negative and no real discussions being had

Scottie chose a college team intending to play him off the bench so he could play the point. He's obsessed with it. I don't know how much you can fault the team for that.

In this case I think it's like saying everyone was wrong. There's no spot on the court he can dominate offensively. And he has never dominated offensively leading up to the NBA. He can get better and minimize the areas/shot attempts where he hurts the team.

Masai wanted a Giannis. It never worked out here. Doesn't mean that Scottie developing a lot of different skills was a bad idea. It just makes him way more versatile and difficult to gameplan (and difficult to build around).
