Luka was younger than rookie Scottie outplaying the dude who got us a ring.

Scottie gotta earn that throne.

The thing I love most about that video is that it shows off just how quick of a learner Scottie is. At the beginning of the video, Scottie tries a move, but doesn't quite do it right. So the trainer stops him and demonstrates again. And you can see Scottie concentrating on what he's saying, and taking it in. He then proceeds to do that little hesitation cross move perfectly a bunch of times in a row.

I've thought that Pascal's developmental trajectory would be one that would be almost impossible for anyone to match, and yet here we might have another player who's capable of it - but starting from a higher baseline.

Pascal & Scottie need to learn that rip through harden/demar move.
Easy buckets to get to the line, which both have length and strength to finish sometimes to get and1s.

Cade is on the pistons summer league roster. Kind of a weird decision

Barnes needs to watch more kawhi. Train his handles and footwork like someone who has the same height/strength/wingspan. Not a guy who dribbles like a point guard with a 6 ft wingspan. Kawhi has got it down to an exact science. Watching the raps warriors reg season overtime win just reminds me of how dominant and lethal KL is as a player.

Kawhi has crazy good footwork and moves with purpose. Power dribbles and man just watch him the footwork and shift to get by defenders

The idea that Masai would trade Scottie for Durant is preposterous.

i'd be absolutely shocked if he played. saddiq bey and isaiah stewart are on the roster as well which is just as weird. bey was in summer league last year and looked out of place.

my guess is they are there just to practice with the young guys and then be cheerleaders for the games.

Am I crazy? In my head most 2nd year guys play regardless of how much better they are. I'm not surprised to Cade out there - are we not expecting Scottie to play?
