He's not ready for a big increase in usage. He doesn't have the shot to set things up or the handles yet. And that is perfectly fine.
I am not sure why people are pushing for him to lead the offence at game 16 of the season, instead of him just slowly improving and developing that way.

Not to say that we should not find a way to get him involved on a few more possessions a game or that the way he is used is tweaked. That is fine. But I just don't understand the logic of those that think forcing somebody into a role they are not ready for as being good for development... never has been.

Wow, we can here practically every word Nurse says.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

Scott has not been better either... Nurse been telling to take it to the basket but he looked scared as hell

His hands are pretty bad. He struggles to beat his man and picks up the ball a lot and gets stuck.


Nurse needs to stop telint Scottie to take it basket and actually run plays for him like post ups instead of asking him to drive from the 3 point line.

Yeah, I was just saying earlier that Scottie has loads of trouble getting right to the rim on his forays into the paint. It's a mix of lack of explosion off the dribble and his high dribble and uprightness.

I am allowed to change my opinion of Siakam as his performance dictates. :lol: :lol:

He was hitting a variety of hook, spin, hesi, half layup and floats to start the season inside at an unsustainable rate but I think his hand injury is a factor for his touch and dribble right now
