    Banton kinda feels like Wade Baldwin IV...minus the smugness that Wade had.

    Ouch.
    I was thinking Terry Cruise in The Longest Yard. “All that buff was for nothing.”

    Sometimes when you know, you know. Scoot’s jumper looks like it REGRESSED

    I guess it's good that there's a ton of good point guards in this draft.

    I kinda question if he actually worked on it.

    He just made a cross court pass that was stolen, and it's like he thinks he's playing against scrubs who don't see him telegraph his passes.

    It's embarrassing how much he gives away turnovers *still*.

    Don't even see how Scoot could be a backup for a playoff team? Banton who the Celtics cut is clearly better.

    I think we're well past the point of needing to compare him to Dame or talk about how he fills that role.

    At this point I'm concerned Scoot may never become a rotational player.

    Why did Mo Harkless change his name?

    Yeah, I’ll let it breathe before I completely write him off. But from my glimpses it looks like he hasn’t put any work in.

    Some players make it as far as they do because they just dominated against lower level players.

    My take so far is his shot selection still sucks, his mechanics are still clunky and his passes are still lazy

    Our rookie 7-2 center, in his first game, shot way better from the floor and the 3-point line than Scoot Henderson, who has a full NBA season under his belt. Henderson is a bust. Period. This is the kind of game he should have been able to dominate, but instead he looked even worse than he did last year.

    well at least he made one. it's preseason so i refuse to conclude much of anything. I do think POR has some nice young pieces. I would rather see Banton, Toumani etc on the court than Grant
