Just as he did in the G league(sub-30% from three), Scoot continues to struggle mightily with his shot
Suggs had him in jail
it’s genuinely concerning how awful he looks. i can’t think of a single redeeming quality on the basketball court that he’s displayed in his first two games.
He looked rough out there. He’ll improve with time but man idk if he’ll be able to overcome Chauncey’s awful coaching. No sets being run, nothing. Scoots supposed to be a playmaker, but the way our offense is being run, which is just random, has him finding himself driving to the rim with no one else in sight. Nobody moves and it’s bullshit. Chauncey has zero clue what he’s doing and you have to wonder if it’ll affect Scoots development in the future.
Brandon Miller was crucified all summer for a couple of bad summer league games but not a peep about Scoot looking like a glorified Emmanuel Mudiay so far
He has been terrible and if this was Brandon Miller, it would be at the top of the sub
He looks lost out there
He needs to work on his finishing angles, he times his jumps weird attacking the basket, leading to missed bunnies. I’m sure he won’t be that bad moving forward, but for someone who was as hyped as he was, his finishing leaves a lot to be desired. I do think he played good D on Paolo down the stretch, and he had some nice passes, but he struggled with finishing and got ripped quite a few times.
I’m definitely one of those not on the hype train at all, but I will say he hopefully won’t be this bad. Definitely makes those shitting on Miller look foolish tho.
They said he was gonna gun for ROTY lmfaooo
There’s levels to this
Lol y’all were clowning on Miller and bro has been far better than Scoot.
And ppl were mad Dame wanted out lol
Jalen Suggs is that dude on defense
His shot is actually the least of my worries. It looks mechanically solid. He can’t get to the rim right now and that was supposed to be his thing
I thought he’d be better this year but he’s 19 🤷🏻♂️
He really doesn’t look like the athlete as advertised. I expected struggles but I don’t see the Westbrook rim pressure or Rose vertical bounce he was hyped on. So many missed bunnies bc of lack of size/lift
He has long arms but not crazy athleticism
Tbf he was goikg against Suggs who will be all defensive team
