College guys who can't shoot.

that fact he only shot 51 threes on the season makes the shooting even more of a concern. you could be a bit more confident in his shooting if he were shooting 33% on 6 or 7 attemp per. but when he's taking 2 threes a game, you have no idea if he is a legit long range shooter. at only 2 attempts per game, he's picking his spots and pretty much only taking great shots from out there.
anybody who doesn't think shooting is a concern with scoot has their head buried in the sand. and that doesn't mean he won't figure it out and become a respectable shooter, but good grief - it is absolutely a concern for him.
The point is, you don't have enough info to make any conclusion. Head in the sand? That's what workouts are for.

we have two seasons worth for Scoot - the sample isn't huge, but he's never shown to be even an average shooter from three. hence, it's a concern.
and workouts? serious? you know shooting against defense in real games is not the same as shooting in an empty gym, right?

not sure what his role is if he's a low volume 3pt shooter tbh, you can see a path in the NBA if he's a stretch combo guy otherwise he doesn't do it enough defensively or on the boards to make up for the fact that he's still not really a stretch guy at all.

There are 4 really questionable shooters near the top of this draft: Scoot, the Twins, and Anthony Black. Orlando and Detroit probably want to avoid taking on another bad shooter. Miller and Dick are the only awesome shooters. Hendricks had a very good year shooting the ball. The rest of the top 10ish guys project as solid-ish.
Depending on where these teams land in the lotto, I could see it shaking things up a bit by maybe locking Brandon Miller into the 2 spot, or seeing Gradey Dick or Taylor Hendricks rising up a few more spots than expected.

If he hits he’s like a poor man’s Sabonis.

In 2021 after Wagner goes 8th, you had Davion Mitchell, Ziaire Williams, Bouknight, Primo, Duarte, Moody, Kispert. 2023 looks to be fairly similar. There should be a bit more impact guys like Murphy and Sengun in the mid rounds. If you did a redrafted 2021, 11-30 was just nasty trash however.
This is literally the first time I've ever actually thought we had a chance to win the #1 pick (I was 7 in 1997). Smile upon us basketball gods!! Bornstellar wrote:24 hours to go! I've never been so hyped for the draft lottery before
