This shit is getting out of hand. Seems like everyone with an avenue to complain is piling on this kid. makes me want to see him succeed even more.
Just IMHO … no sauces … Ant would welcome a trade over the summer. Sharpe will be significantly better than Ant at SG … and Sharpe should NOT be a SF. Does anyone think that’s off base? Ant knows where the franchise is looking for leadership at PG — Scoot. He has “it.” Moving forward, Ant is too young to embrace winning 6th man of the year. Like any young vet who has grown and earned it, he wants to compete in the playoffs and the Blazers are just not there. I’m planting my flag on this hill. Trading Ant in the summer of 2025 is one year too late.
This seems a very fair-minded comment in that thread: Got to say, I have not seen him jump that high. Just last game he missed a layup that somebody of Anfernee's athleticism would have easily dunked.
95% of the league falls into this category. I mean we have seen Sharpe hit his head on the backboard.
The core injury has had a crazy impact on Scoot’s athleticism: He went from DRose to Jamaal Tinsley I find it odd that seemingly every guard has had an ab injury within the last few seasons. Who are the trainers? Yeah, they need to go.
7 assists as well and he's a rookie leading the NBA in blocks I'll admit that I didn't believe, for a second, he'd be this good, this fast
18-14-5 with 2 steals and a block. 12 shots and none were three's; and you know he played solid defense
Scoot went court to court tonight and skied for a layup/finger roll at the rim but his inability to switch to his left saw it get blocked by Thomas Bryant.
For me, I fully thought he'd be this good. It's not about his talent. I still have worries about his ability to stay in the league for 8-10 years. I guess we'll see.
While it's too early to write Scoot off I wouldn't be surprised if we draft another PG with our top pick.
