Scoot is in the one without a shirt. He's standing next to Ja Morant.

Terquavion Smith starting out with 2 easy games. He’s the guy I’m oozing over and will watch a ton.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Mojave is a scoring version of a Dyson Daniels type player/athlete. Dont think he has Daniel's ceiling but similar type athletic profile, Mojave probably looks to score more and is a better shooter than Daniels.

Has pro experience already with 2 seasons in Australia's NBL, now with Ignite.

Probably is a late lottery pick at best.

So far, Nick Smith & Jett Howard (Bulls pick) have my interest.

If you’re talking about Scoot I think it’s unfair to assume he can’t adjust to a specific team concept. Matter of fact I think that applies to any player perceived as ball dominant. Guys at this level are ballers, and I think one would fit just fine alongside PB and FW.


Wasn't directed at any single player; just an open question.

Wemby & Scoot are no brainers. But if we're 3 & below...what direction do you go?

And I agree, ballers adjust. Hell, look at ball-dominant Cole trying his best to play off Paolo & Franz. I guess if he can do it, any one can, lol.

I got you.

Dude I have no idea. It’s so early Ive read and watched a lot of scoot and victor content and I like Nick Smiths game. These Grady Dick videos have me sold. :lol:

If he keeps it up he will be true contender for #1 pick and i will have nothing against drafting him like i had against drafting #4Barnes, #4Green or even Cade #1.
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !

We'll see.when the sample size is big enough. If he has turned it around then we'll done him.

But I'd have enough concerns with his form and the variety of his misses to have some doubt.

Tankathon is back on.
It's a bit frustration. Instead of players coming back we lost Paolo and WCJ.
We just can't compete with the players we have. That win vs Phoenix seems so long ago.

We're 5th in the tankathon and the Bulls are 6th currently. They need to win at a better clip for me to be comfortable with landing their top 4 protected pick...

Bulls and 6 other teams have identical record, it's usless to watch (at least, yet ).
Among 7 teams with identical record you have Warriors, Nets, Heat...
