    Looks like Scoot still can't shoot

    I’ll trust he’s going to figure it out, but the debut has been underwhelming.

    His solution to everything is to just sprint headfirst through people.

    Shaedon is amazing. Smooth game. He needs to play as much as possible.

    Sorry you wasted your money and time. I wouldn't pay to watch this team live.

    Who would take Grant, I just don’t see it. What a horrible signing.

    Here is a sad truth:

    Scoot looks better tat SG than PG right now.

    So far, Scoot has played like he should've been drafted in the 3rd round instead of the 3rd spot.

    Has Billups taken away Scoot's mid-range game? I don't understand what's going on with the shot selection.
    We saw Scoot dribble towards the paint and drill mid-ranges in summer league. I can't remember many or any in the regular season.
    It's also a way to set up a lob. Which, what happened to lobs?

    Why isn't he taking any mid-range shots?

    This lineup on the floor plays harder than the guys in the bench.

    He loses the ball to simple pressure and can’t make simple passes against NBA defenses.
