This is funny because it's the complete opposite. Good process, bad results.

Also with the no look passes, he already understands the value of misdirection and not telegraphing what he is about to do, which isnt always perfect but he's far ahead than most.

This franchise (and fans) are definitely hype about Scottie...
Never seen them put this much focus on any of rooks, nevermind the big minutes and even fairly good usage but where they have this mini-feature, that's clearly very well put together - they know they have a special young player.
He just has an aura, a certain level of play, understanding of the game where you know he's gonna be good. People are thinking they see flashes of Magic, Pippen, a little Giannis like when he steamrolls to the rim, trying to add some Kawhi mid and post --- like when people used to think Embiid was looking something like Hakeem and now he's a MVP caliber player himself. I'm not saying he'll reach the levels of Embiid but like him more n more those "flashes" become the norm and they get more advanced as he learns more about the game and he starts becoming more n more efficient and that kid becomes a star --- as I think most of us recognize, it's not if, it's when Scottie becomes one.
For me it's both super exciting because I think we might have a true franchise changing talent BUT the selfish part is almost like please tell him to take it easy
It's almost a game to game basis where literally either us as fans OR even commentators themselves saying "I didn't know he could do that". We all thought it would be like it was with OG or Pascal where it was like 2-3 years down the line before you really see any returns but no out the gate! This is kid is ballin, showing a higher level of bball IQ than most vets, making immediate impact (I'd argue HE won us the BOS game with what he did defensively to Tatum AND Brown) and he's a LEGIT candidate for ROY....
I'm not saying he's Magic or even Pippen but playing in that style or anything near that just helps teams win games (period) and that's where I'm excited because this kid is a pup...in 4-5 years good lawd, I'm confident he can be the spearhead of 50+W team but I just wish I could have my cake n eat it too. Where Scottie shows us these amazing flashes all season then somehow we shut him down or others in the starting line up again and just see if we can get him that other young star and this franchise be golden. OG's great but imo he's not quite the elite level of scorer you'd want to ideally pair and Pascal/Achuiwa will give you great production as your runners and cutters but just want one dude that just gets buckets when the lights are brightest type of player (*ahem maybe Hardy) and then I could see a scenario given all those pieces with Scottie....the whole franchise would be set for take off the following season and from there on out.... we try going NOW, I don't think we hit the same heights.

Then pre draft we look at Suggs and Moody who were supposed to be more nba ready and they've contributed zero's.
masai knew all along.

He has a ridiculously long wingspan and strong body, he plays like an old school C with the ability to handle lik a PG.

But this was a hypothetical for the humbled Suggs Crowd.
If you think the current best perimeter player in the league(2nd in DPOY/triple double threat) able to cover 1-through-4/5 would not help us dramatically/put us in contention then I do not think you fully understand Scottie's impact right now.
Anyway, ultimately the league belongs to players like Scottie and Ben Simmons: I am just glad we have one of them.
Proof is in the pudding. Simmons is a fake all-star. Last time any of our core played with an MVP caliber player they won a championship.

OOPS I meant so say "best perimeter DEFENDER in the league!"
