Like, oh no some people ranked him higher than me, now I must dedicate my entire life to rooting for his downfall
I kinda get it from a Hornets fan perspective, lots of people were clowning on them right after the draft for taking Miller over him and you always want your guy to be better than the guy taken right afterwards, but still
I just don't get what Scoot, specifically, did to earn all this about him.
I mean I don't think this is some new concept to sports.
Did you see Bryce Young and CJ Stroud this year?
Luka vs Trae in their draft.
Jokic vs Embiid
Guys are going to constantly be analyzed in this day and age vs piers.
I fully expect the Reed Sheppard thread to look like this next year too because he like Scoot is polarizing.
None of those are like what's going on here though
Especially not Jokic vs Embiid, how is that in any way comparable
The twins were super polarizing this past draft, they have less than half the posts combined as just Scoot
I'm trying to find a single prospect on this board whose thread has as many posts as Scoot, and there are none in the last 8 pages that I saw
I'm saying I don't get why Scoot specifically is getting so much discourse, why is he so much more polarizing than any other player?
Cause I don't see what makes him that much more polarizing than every other player. It seems personal at this point.
Have you ever seen any sports talk show? Embiid vs Jokic is talked about weekly.
Chet vs Wemby is discussed all over the internet including general board rookie discussion.
If you are trying to zero in on why people are talking about a draft prospect on an NBA draft board that is designed to talked to about prospects maybe you don't understand the point of the message board.
Thompson Twins weren't that heavily debated prior to the draft, so not shocked they aren't heavily focused on. Now if there were multiple posters in here saying they might end up better than Wemby and should have guaranteed been the #2 pick then yeah they probably would be discussed further and more analyzed.
This draft is especially slow with Sarr, Risacher, Topic, Buzelis, Holland and Saluan not playing college basketball so 6 of the top 10 guys aren't really on high access television to watch games. Hence why they aren't talked about as much.
Castle, Reed, Dillingham are 3 most talked about guys on the board because they have played the most games that are actually watchable. Or at least that is my opinion on the subject.
Which Prospect do you think deserves talking about more on here that isn't getting the proper attention?
