The **** are you taking about iv never suggested that. Scottie is clearly a good nba player he’s just not worth the max or investing in as some indispensable franchise player. Of course you have to use hyperbole because you can’t use logic

Someone should compile all of your posts into one document, just from this thread even, so you can read it all at once and realize how **** stupid you sound, every game thread

Except maybe the game threads where Scottie plays well, because you disappear from those :lol:


I’ll continue to tell you how horrible you are at analyzing basketball skillsets and it’s embarrassing that you even have the balls to cal what I say stupid. If you think it’s stupid it’s because you literally don’t know how to watch baske ball. You’re probably one of the idiots who kept sayknf Scottie was holding siakam back and that he’s a better offensive player than siakam.

I think CMB is more disciplined though. Doesn’t put himself in compromising spaces when he’s at the peremiter.

Scottie is more dominating on defence for sure though when he’s locked in.

You’re both right.

The issue with Scottie is he isn’t grounded enough. Let’s his ego get involved too often.

Cmb has better natural defensive instincts and again has the lateral quicks to defend 1 on 1 which Scottie doesn’t. I guarantee he will be a better roamer as well with more experience. His defense is closer to draymond than Scottie

Scottie absolutely does have the lateral quicks to defend one on one, especially against bigger wings.

Limited handles and too low of a release point to consistently get a clean shot off.

He’s a SG in a PG’s body. He needs CMB or Poeltl screening for him on every action if he wants success lol.

Yeah his man defense is more disciplined, and I would say that it looks better than Scottie's especially when he was a rookie.


I just wish CMB was like one inch of 2 taller lol.

I swear he looks like he's 6'5.

scottie gets blown by pretty easily. Cmb looks like he can actually defend 1 on 1 similar to og. Not saying he’ll be that elite but he looks like he actually has the ability to be a lockdown 1 on 1 defender.

He looks like he’s RJ height but with a PF body lol.

I think we’d have someone truly special if he was actually 6’9 or 6’8.

Gradey has a place in this league. Probably not as a starter though. A hustle knock down shooter is still good to have. Celtics and Jazz love those types of players.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

CMB has very quick feet. Like he might have the quickest feet on the team outside of Shead and Lawson.

Scotties second year was terrible his side to side movement was insanely bad. CMB is on another level in terms of lateral quick and strength. CMB seems a more intelligent defender as well. Strictly talking about Scotties first two seasons.
