i honestly don't know why players go to pro runs other than the rare time to "stretch their legs", so to speak. they're almost always playing below nba competition and nobody really tries, so it's like a glorified pickup game. there's little structure and it's mostly all 10 players taking their turns to go 1v1 against their defender.
personally i think players would be much better off using those days to work individually on their skills, but that's just me. like you pointed out scottie was clearly playing below his ability (at like 30%?) so i don't know how that benefits him in any way.
I disagree. I played a lot of basketball growing up and there's only so much individual training you can do.
Those pick up games (even if below competition) actually do a lot of good for you in my opinion because you try things you normally wouldn't, especially the things you are trying to master. Those are the times you do them and get comfortable and gain confidence which are key. Scottie for example needs to get more comfortable with his 3 point shot and launching it quicker (not only by himself but within an offense). He did that here. Theres a reason why our whole team is here from young guys to vets. Scrimmages help to get better.
