    Foul trouble has once again taken us out of the game.

    Considering how aggressive and young this team is, the foul trouble is going to come with it.

    Ant looks like he did in that stretch two seasons ago after Dame went down.

    I don't miss Derrick Jones Jr, at all...

    Guy was making $1.5m before us and $2.7 after us, but Olshey thought he was worth $9.5?!?

    Why does Scoots handle always look so lax/casual. Like he never has full control of the ball.

    Everyone thought Darius Garland would be a bust, but he turned it around.

    But we WISH Scoot were putting up the kind of numbers Garland was putting up when he was an awful rookie.

    it’s gonna take him a few years IMO. He’s gonna be a good player, not sure about great.

    but it’s clear he’s the worst player on the team getting regular minutes right now

    Scoot's shooting is just rotten to the core. It really couldn't be any worse.

    Feel like you can tell if it’s going in based on the way it leaves his hands. The mechanics on his bricks look broken.

    I think he’ll fix it eventually, don’t think it will be this season though.

    This team continues to just hang around despite being short-handed and not playing that great; which I consider a compliment.

    Not gonna lie, the thought of Amen with Ant and Sharpe sounds awesome if Amen materializes. I think Scoot will be good but it's going to be at the cost of having to bench one of those guys.

    Great take Scoot!

    Scoot has setup 3 consecutive wide open 3's. Blazers unable to make any of them.

    Scoot should do nothing but shooting this summer.
