take Blazers Edge clickbait lightly. They just wrote a gigantic horse dookie article, detailing every bad performance from the entire Denver Nuggets roster. It sent their mean "Blazer fan" comment section into a frenzy of long winded trash talking memos about a far superior ballclub.
Im sure he attended a few games in LA this summer. His comment doesn't really surprise me, as I think it's obvious Scoot has a lot of improvement needed in his game. His disappointment is probably based on expectations of Scoot and that he was so hyped. We will soon find out just how much he's improved.
"But Avdija can also guard a lot of fours, so the Blazers could explore trading [Jerami] Grant so that Sharpe joins the starting unit. Both guys are capable perimeter shooters who’ll space the floor" Yes because we all want to go smaller than we have in the past. Sharpe will start regardless, it does not have to be at SF.
Sharpe should start no matter what. Even if it means rolling out Simons at PG and having Scoot come off the bench.
I'm sorry but this is such a horseshit take. He proved that he can shoot last season. So what, he went and watched a few pickup games? Big fucking whoop.
Now that, sir, is some seriously quality, if i dare say, top tier, posting, even if it was just one sentence!
I am. I watched exactly what he is saying last year but that's the problem I have with his take. I know he isn't the only one who watched these issues. I know Scoot has people working with him very hard on all of them. I also know It might be 2-3 more years before we see the quality we are looking for from Scoot. Now the defense statement seems weird though. Scoot is too athletic to not be able to play defense. These things take a bunch of time and Scoot has not had the minutes yet to say the thing he said about him.
I can understand that to a point? The fact remains he was desperately in need of a bunch of work. Lets hope we see some improvement.
Its his drive. Many players needing improvement dont work like him. He seems to have Dame like drive and that is what keeps me from being concerned. Now if he stays healthy and we don't see improvement over the season? I may get concerned. But as of now i see him doing everything he can. I believe he will improve and i think Shae will benefit from it big time.
I did not realize they played a whole lot of defense in those pick-up games due to injury concerns. I am sure some do, but I doubt they all do.
