I wonder if we could get a team to give us a 1st round pick for Scoot. We traded Telfair after his 2nd season and got Brandon Roy out of the deal.
I really like the way you think here. Any possibility that we could trade him to the Bulls for #10? Outside of Chicago, I don't see many teams that would be willing to trade a pick for Scoot.
We've destroyed any chance of that by playing him mostly behind and with Ant. We're going to have to give him the keys if we hope to salvage him.
That's easy to say in hindsight, but how many people predicted it before the draft? There was talk of him maybe becoming a Gobert-level defender some day, but even that didn't go so far as hoping for a rapid adjustment.
My only point is that I'd prefer if all players had a couple of years. I generally expect players with college experience to be more polished.
He hasn't lost the ability. I don't think the franchise has done a very good job of developing either Scoot or Sharpe. In fact, I think they've done a terrible job helping them adjust.
Either we need to figure out how the team is failing these guys or the team needs to figure out how to avoid guys like these. Either way, getting mad at the player isn't going to help.
Every night, Scoot watches that video alone in his darkened room and a single tear slides down his cheek
Maybe they’re just not good. You know it happens sometimes. I was huge on shaedon Sharpe too but the guy is just garbage mentally and soft. Unfortunately it happens
Maybe. With the way this has been handled, I don't know that one way or the other. We have done exactly what I said we shouldn't do with them and what has happened is exactly what I thought might happen if we did this with them...
