He plays so bad and then suddenly he looks good for small stretches. I get why they’re continuously going back to him cause he has more talent than any SG on our roster sans maybe RJ. He just is so poor at being consistent with it.

I stand by my opinion that it's a lack of opportunity and not a matter of lack of talent or ability.


It that’s the case ochai agbaji is in th same boat. Same with Jamison battle. Same with aj Lawson. Same with pretty much any wing on this team that Isr getting consistent minutes.

Also, that implies that any player can be a star if they just play more and get more of the offense run through them. Rj needs a team of his own and he’ll be Michael Jordan.

Ochai in the high post is something new and should never be seen again
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.

IMO he needs consistant minutes to get going.

We'll be lucky to have a 7 point lead by the end of this quarter. Raptors really find a way to shoot themselves in the foot.

How many 1st rounders and what players would you give up to get a 37 year old Steph Curry in a Raptors uniform?

Yup.
Should’ve had at least one playmaker on the floor so they could continue to setup IQ and Ingram, the hot hand.

Make them beat us by making 2's, not 3's. We can win that way.

Can someone explain why Kerr really dislikes Kuminga?

Well, Gradey was out leading the pack. He decided to pass to the trailing big man - Mamu? Weird.

Why does Kerr not like Kuminga?

He isn’t a quick decision maker or passer. But Kerr has shown zero ability to adapt to any player who doesn’t fit the system he likes to run. This is true on the Warriors and Team USA. He is absolutely unable and unwilling to use certain players who have proved useful on other teams so there is still some hope for him I guess
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

No one cares about his defence when we’re discussing his offence.

And his assists are down, turnovers up, and his “bag” is largely unchanged.

That's **** bull about his bag, the spin aeya from d into finger rolls are new, the tighter handles on his dribble drive are new, the orchestration to call specific sets to line up his shooters or exploit miss matches with purpose are new

If you don't care about defense and can't see his offense developing over the years, that says more about you than anything about Scottie

I do care about his defence, I’m very happy with his development there. But his defence isn’t relevant when we were in the middle of a discussion about his offence. :lol:

And “his bag” hasn’t led to any meaningful uptick in production. Hes averaging the exact same points, rebounds, and assists as he has for 3 years now and his efficiency is a rounding error different than he was under year 1 Darko.

He just hasn’t developed his offence much at all. He’s a valuable player regardless but the stagnation offensively is disappointing
