    I think he can develop off the bench until the game slows down for him..for me winning is building the right culture. Scoot will benefit from watching a vet run an offense in my view. He'll still get his minutes but do we need to dig 20 pt holes in the meantime?

    Ayton and Thybulle are completely worthless

    Thybulle hasn’t even been good defensively

    I don't care if Scoot misses shots. I just want to see some confidence. I want to see him take it at Russ.

    Here's the way I'm thinking..... if we're going to be THIS bad, why the hell are we wasting minutes on veterans like Grant/Brogdon? Trade them and get some value.

    It’s very unfamiliar looking having people play off our PG because he isn’t a threat to score. So used to watching teams pick up Dame at half court.

    Finally seeing Scoot being aggressive. That's all I want.

    Ugh, I missed Scoot's first two points. How did he score them and increase his score by an infinite percentage over the first half?

    Thybulle is fine if his feet are set.

    We didn’t draft Scoot #3 so he could come off the bench.

    I'm gonna admit that I didn't watch the Suns much. What did they do to utilize Ayton? He's completely out of our system.

    So does Billups see Scoot as a Shooting Guard who can't shoot...or...?
