Totally fine, for now. They're accumulating tape for in-depth film sessions.

I've tried to advocate for Scottie these past several seasons but he really does worry me...
He just looks awkward af on offence now, like he literally doesn't know what to do with the ball. He's gotta get out more in transition & around the post area for his awkward but oddly effective post game.
I just dunno what happened to the guy who in the first couple of seasons we used to say he had a high bball IQ & that seemed to really read the game well. Now everything feels so forced and out of rhythm. I'm not sure what they do with him especially when I think CMB is going to do some really impressive things defensively this season.
Some people say they'd trade him for Giannis (obv) buuut I'd prob just trade him for any legit all-star because I'm feeling less confident he's going to elevate back to an all-star level.

If santander starts to hit that’ll be clutch. Let’s hope the bats wake up after that Gimenez bomb.

Starters have some spacing issues that might not be solved with better bball IQ. His last drive that half had like 3 Raptors in the paint already.
What I'm starting to question is having him and Poeltl signed until 2030. I like them well enough individually but the offense might always look awkward unless 1 of them can shoot.
