    Of course we're not ready to discuss "that." He's 19 years old and IT'S PRESEASON OF HIS ROOKIE YEAR. Let's discuss whether a 19 year old rookie is a bust after, let's say, his third season.

    FFS. Is this real life?

    That's a very rational, reasoned, respectful response. However, this OP doesn't merit a rational, reasoned, respectful response.

    Reset flame throwers to incinerate!

    Or if you are a Dune series fan, set the Lasgun to full discharge.

    Complete incineration in the path of the Lasbeam.

    If a bust thread never happened, did the actual season ever happen?

    Scoot is the worst Blazers point guard of my lifetime.

    You can’t fool me. Nolan Smith wasn’t a point guard.

    Dont underestimate players from Georgia!!!! If you really start to watch over basketball recruiting "hotspots" you'll notice Georgia produces a sort of tough player who deals with adversity well, its similar to Texas.. N what often happens is the competition is very stiff every year in a state like Georgia and so often times 4-star quality players get buried and appear as "late-bloomers" when they were pretty good all along, just its tough to stand out amongst solid competition sometimes...

    N so the first time I ever saw Scoota.. N his name was Scoota back then not Scoot..N he musta been like 15 but he was throwing down dunks trying to rip the rim off like he thought he was Julius Randle or something, n u could tell he gets downhill with ease I can remember thinking "Oh he's from Georgia this kid is gonna be good, he's strong n tough n absorbs contact n a menace going downhill, n he's good with those dropoff passes as hes going downhill, so he actually looks like a PG!"

    n so it was unsurprising when the G-league signed him, because he profiles exactly as the type of guard who can handle older competition cuz hes got such physical prowess.. especially given reports hed grown to 6'3 or taller

    Now I havent followed Isaac Okoro's career on the Cavaliers much but theres a reason a player like that goes from being projected outside of the top50 players in his highschool class to the 5th pick in the draft as a one-and-done, and part of its --- is that Georgia toughness..

    N for the record I'm from New York.. Im not territorially biased, its just more of a matter of recruiting hotspots, like how the Bahamas has a very small population but several NBA players, but with places like Georgia and Texas theres a lot of competition to sift thru.

    I think this thread title is wrong. It should read Scoota Bust!

    Always nostalgic for those Nolan Smith and Luke Babbitt drafts.
