    Yeah... I guess.... I'm just saying that nobody has taken #7 since Roy left (if I remember correctly).

    Yes. And so was Melo. But neither of those dudes were the heir apparent.

    Hmm. I don't see it. I'm very happy we got Scoot, but right now he's a less-athletic Russell Westbrook. Let's hope he proves otherwise, but let's not let the hype train get out of control.

    (Mind you, I did compare Dame to Mo Williams when we drafted him. Here's hoping I'm similarly wrong.)

    I am confused with the narrative as of late that he is a "less athletic Westbrook" .....especially after watching those highlights. Russ might have been as athletic, but I question if he was more athletic. Regardless, I think Scoot's mid-range shot off the dribble is already better.

    I watched Westbrook play at UCLA and thought he was an insane athlete. He proved it in the NBA. I don't think, from what I've seen, that Scoot is on par athletically. Of course he's really young. But I would say that Scoot appears to have a little better foundation of basketball skills and BBIQ

    Agree. That's why I have been calling him athletic Chris Paul. There is a cerebral side to his game, and he also seems to have that passion for winning.

    I didn't know I was involved in a "narrative." Just reporting the way it looks to me. As with Darius Miles, his length helps his dunks look more spectacular than his athleticism.
