It feels relevant that the Nuggets starters are out.

Had a whole bunch of negative Scottie comps based off what he's done so far offensively outside of transition lead ahead passes. Love the defensive energy though.

no one wants to admit this but prime Simmons was more impactful than Scottie.

Doesn’t appear to really be an on ball player. He’s had a few games here and there where he looked spectacular on ball though can’t lie. But at this point experimental time is running thin. He’s much better suited bombing away threes off ball.

It'll be matchup dependent, but yes he should. He is what he is defensively but he's still a good offensive player and an excellent back up center.
