Scottie is an idiot if he declined Team USA’s invitation.

I'm almost certain this is after they worked out, played some 5v5 games and then did this 1v1 stuff with tired legs. They are all drenched in sweat. Scottie has sweat down to his ass. Either way it don't look good lol. Let's not overreact though.

Only positive I got out of that video from Barnes was he attempted a fadeaway in the beginning. Rest of it was so bad to watch, I have no confidence in his shot. Defense he uses his hands too much which will get called for fouls in season. Only makes by him were bully ball at the rim.

1on1 is fun to watch but there's a clip by tmac that kobe didn't value 1on1 practice as much as working on his game alone (i.e. footwork)

Does anyone like these live play by play guys?

Man he’s elevating really high this summer, he looks ultra athletic. There was another clip where he got up really high on a block attempt and his head was well above the rim.

Miami Pro Am announcer can be Scottie's hype man. Absolutely classic.

I agree with you, but Scottie looks bouncier.

Scottie looks healthy again. He was moving around like an old man since the beginning of last season.

I'd rather he work properly on his skills this season rather than fight for the ball on team USA. Go get a other shot with USA when your skills are more aligned with European ball.

Can we get him a new trainer though lol?

He can now work on that bounce now that he won't have to keep as much bulk playing against C's all the time.

Team USA has elite trainers and the FIBA setting is basically Euro ball lol.

THE ULTIMATE WEAPON!!!!!

This announcer is trying really hard to claim that nickname for Scottie. I'll admit it's pretty cool lol. We need to start calling him that.

Love the Scottie videos. He reminds me a bit of Boris Diaw without the shooting

You think Giannis a good one on one player? If we're going by this, guys like Lou Will would be superstars in this league

I think one on one is a solid indicator of talent. However, it’s not the end all be all. But certainly shows who’s a potential go to scorer, which I don’t think Scottie really is that type of player. Remember Demar and Kyle were terrible in the team usa one on one drill and Jimmy Butler cooked everyone. But we all know Demar and Kyle were very good 5 on 5 players.

I’m gonna guess it’s because:

-this happened when players were tired after a scrimmage
-nobody but Bagley was actually trying
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

It certainly looks like they are all gassed. S ottoe desperately needs a consistent jump shot though so lets hope the rest of the offseason we see development on that front

it's kinda funny.

Scottie was always compared to a boris diaw, draymond green type comparison

and it still looks that way
can we build a team around that type of player?
