I'd love to see how the Scottie/Shead PnR would work. Have somebody else create for him.

He needs to take them, there is just no chance he's useful in the half court if he can't shoot at all in our offense


He needs to be cutting more or space to the corners then. Him from 35ft is an awful shot, and his defender just gets to block off PnRs on the perimeter by heavily playing off him


Agreed, he's not great from the corners either but it's the area he's most competent from.

While y’all are busy complaining about Scottie, he’s busy leading them on a comeback. Haha.

Doesn’t look like it. He hasn’t touched the floor.

As much as you or I may deviate from consensus, it's fine for fans to maintain faith in a player's upside.

It isn't either/or with young players. They can dial-in a role suited to their skill set without shunting future growth.


There’s a difference if it’s completely devoid of any awareness of the players limitations

Well yeah, some folks need a reality check

This is going to upset a lot of you, but I think this team fails if it takes the ball out of Scottie’s hands. We know he can’t score but he’s our best facilitator and it’s not close.

By starting the transition opportunities with great kick ahead passes. And he got a bunch of boards. Played some good D. Got the team into efficient offence.

True, can't get the All Star Game MVP if you're banged up.

Ingram still has a lot of rust physically. He has no burst or lift yet. Not in game shape.
