Don’t relive the decision, it only leads to regret

If you want the Thompson twins the correct way is to trade down

Yes.

Scoot was incredible in the G League. He’ll be fine. NBA point guards almost always take longer to develop. We can’t really judge him for awhile.

No. They can’t shoot.

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.

From what I’ve seen on both sides 100% yes.

its too early to judge Scoot, give the kid a chance. Just like we waited with Shaedon, you gotta give him a couple years before you start labeling him anything.

You also have to remember that the main reason Dame asked out was because we drafted Scoot, most signs pointed to him staying had we not drafted his replacement. I was on the “trade down for someone else train” but that was when he still had Dame. Ausar wouldve been a great option stand a lone but he did get picked earlier than i think a lot of people had him. There was talks of targeting Wendell Carter to trade for #6 but we wouldve missed Ausar had we did that.

other than Chet, Wemby and Lively I don’t see how any of the other rookies that wouldve had an immediate impact with Dame still here.

somebody listens to bill simmons a bit too much😂

This has the chance of being an absolutely generational draft. Wemby / Scoot / Ausar / Miller / Keyonte / Amen / Hawkins / Camara / Sasser / Lively / Coulibaly. All have insane potential

And that’s not even including Black, Clowney, Dick, either .

It is silly to project his entire career based on a dozen games. It was equally silly to talk about him as a top 3 candidate for ROY. To be honest, I got caught up in the irrational enthusiasm phase as well. It’s time for all of us to get past it.

What we really needed was another Dame or Brandon Roy. No such player was available, so we put our money on an unscratched lotto ticket. Was that better than trading the pick for a vet who wouldn’t have moved the needle? I would argue it was. Did we gamble on the right lotto ticket? I have no idea and neither does anybody else.

Rant over.

You suck and this post sucks

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe go…
