We either trot him out with Jak/Siakam which leaves absolutely zero spacing making his post up game 10x harder than it needs to be, or he's out there with 4 players from the worst bench in the entire league. The fact that he's still doing what he does, is quite frankly a miracle to me.
I want us to finally put a team around him with some shooters and see how his efficiency improves when his teammates are actual scoring threats. His post game seems to be feast or famine, he either looks like a prime hakeem/shaq with the hook/bully ball, or he looks like Kris Humphries just lobbing up horribly uncoordinated shots. I notice the latter usually happen when there isn't a lot of spacing, and instead of kicking it out, he tries to force it.
His inefficiency in TS% comes down to FT’s.
He’s wildly efficient from the 3 and from the floor. What boosts the TS% the most is your ability to draw FT’s.
That’s probably the only concerning thing about Scottie’s game this year. His touches and usage has gone up but his FTr’s have remained the same as last year. He’s missing 3-6 easy points a night by not being able to draw fouls.
Needs to study some Banchero tape because they both basically play the same way and have the same body. There’s no reason why Banchero can draw 7 FT’s a night but Scottie can barely get 4.
his isolation numbers also stink. I think he is 13th percentile one isolation perimeter plays and 8th percentile in isolation post plays.
Dont think he'll be an isolation give it to me when it matters kind of guy, that's why i see him defer to guys like Gary and Dennis at end of shot clock late clock scenarios.
I think he can be, but not at the present time. He still doesn't seem to realize how strong he is, even with bigger guys on him he's not leveraging his strong base to back them down. He oddly seems to try and match Siakams game with foot work and spinning, but he's not nearly as fast as Siakam is, so he ends up just putting up bad shots.
Get him to strengthen up more and realize how big he is, and I think he can feast like a baby Shaq by just bullying guys into bad position, but instead of a dunk, maybe a fade/hook shot.
The crazy thing about Scottie is that he's playing really well and putting up really good numbers, despite using virtually none of his strengths regularly.
