I know that it’s early. I just have this nagging feeling that Scoot isn’t it. In the games he played he was ok. I didn’t see anything that was spectacular. Am I underrating Scoot?

    Yes. Amen Thompson will be better than scoot. Both will be great. I still believe in scoot. But amen will be better. He’s basically 6’7” scoot so I really don’t know how any scout talked themselves into the 6’2” PG just cause he was super hyped. His G League stats were not even impressive. Not great efficiency. Not great shot selection. Not great assist-to-turnover ratio. But he challenged Wemby that one game and had some decent highlight dunks. Honestly pretty disappointed in Schmitz for buying into the Scoot hype when he clearly drafted solely based off of ceiling when he took Sharpe.

    I really expected him to do that again and take the player with the highest ceiling in the draft in back to back years, but then we chose the safe pick in scoot. We bought the hype. Again, he’ll be fine, maybe even an all star. But amen will be better and his ceiling is wayyyy higher.

    I was praying CHA would draft scoot so that our FO could draft Amen. I knew if scoot was there, they wouldn’t pass on him. Bummer.

    Imagine 6’7” freak athlete Amen Thompson and 6’6” freak athlete Shaedon Sharpe terrorizing teams and the rim for a decade.
