He can’t shoot or drive. There’s no fixing that. Luckily he’s still a great passer and borderline elite defender. Just gotta hope he can embrace a 3rd option role on offence.

It’s insanity his form hasn’t ever changed. Like maybe try something else?

But to me the bigger issue is the shot selection. If you go watch his shots tonight, most are out of the flow of the offence or early in the clock. It’s like he pre determines when he gets the ball he’s going to put up a shot
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Maybe it's the trainer, it's probably him.

Well we can all agree on someone who is getting cut. No hot take here. Don't think Sarr is making this team.

i mean, Scottie brings a lot to the game, but shooting, and scoring isn't one of them.....
so for 50M is quite overpaid

He kinda shoots on the way down, all his shots were front rim. In college he was a ball in hand shot creator. His game doesn't seem to be suited to being a role player.

These refs did not let us play very physically this last quarter. Giving that foul to decide the game is reallly bad.

I wouldn’t make any conclusions like this off preseason


Holy **** guys it’s his fifth year borderline insanity with you guys. Kevin Durand just put up an easy 20 as near 40 year old with injury history… wanna know why? Because he can. All of Scottie’s failures in his ability to score and be efficient are just because he can’t there’s no **** excuses. these discussions would make sense if this was his 2nd or 3rd season who has had no freedom to shine.. Not as a fifth year vet who was already handed the keys and failed


what players of any age do in preseason is not worth overreacting about. reeelax and wait for the regular season for your hot takes
