He just didn't need to reach on Morris, which is what led to the blowby. Morris is not going to beat you cleanly or stepback for 3 too often. Scottie seems like he is just unclear on positioning and scouting, but he's also being given a lot of assignments. In two years we won't even remember him as a struggling man to man defender.

Came across this video clip of 1982-83 ROY Terry Cummings (23/10/3). Not sure if if he's been mentioned as a comp for Scottie, but coming in as a 6'9 220, 21 year old top-2 pick the similarities are interesting. Barnes is more explosive but both he's a physical forward who had a simple mid-range game and from the looks of it knew how to get into the opponents head....found the similarities kind of eerie really.

Fair comparison.

Another guy that's never been mentioned as a comparison for Scottie and who I believe is very similar is Bernard King:

It'll be funny how the player comparisons change over the years.

Bernard King is a great comp.

Imagine a rookie with those broad set of skills...we're lucky to be able to see how he develops game to game over the next 3 years.

Another one that someone had posted early on in the season, was Marques Johnson. Johnson was a 5x All Star who averaged 20/7/3.5 over a career. Looks like a neck injury derailed his career.

I think the most important thing Scottie needs to work on in the off season is his pace.

You can limit the lack of burst hurting you by mastering your pace, I really hope he watches a bunch of Luka tape in the off season.

Now String, young blood what you know bout the 80's? Boy, I hear the disrespeck you puttin on around me in them streets but I know, if you saw me in them streets in them days, it'd be CLEAR why they call me DOWNTOWN Clay Davis.

But now I'm a servant of the people, right hand to God and the other on my kids. I love Baltimore and would give my life (and I have!) but I can't do it alone. I'd like to invite you to a fundraising gala so you can hear all about the amazing work we've done and how your money as a donor is going to the right place.

I don't take offense at this boy cus I remember being a greenhorn too, but you gotta simmer down. I got friends in high places... and the low. I ain' sayin' you weak in the spine but I find it funny you only sayin' this when you know I got my good name to be accountable for, on account of these primaries around the corner.

And, let me tell you something, these primaries, they're not cheap fella', they're bleeding me dry! And if you don't have me in the big house well... let me just say it's good for the young proprietor of... what's it called? B and B enterprises? To have friends in high places, well it's good to have someone giving a good word for you when others take a keen eye at your affairs, I can preach to that. But String, I can't do it alone. I know I know, you're mad at me, but I'm a better friend than a foe, and as a friend I need your help so we can make our shared interests come to fruition.

So what you say, young man? Tell ya what, don't worry about paying full price for the tickets of this fundraising gala, take a 10% discount as a gesture of good will. For $3000, I doubt you'd get a better plate of crab legs and steak! Surf n turf, young fella! My meemaws family recipe!

Absolutely, even if we loss both play-in games at home, I still think we had a great season. The most important thing about this season is developing our young guys, especially Barnes and he looks like he could be a 1A as early as next season.
