    50 mins of scoot's workout with fisher et al. handle looks tight, and lefty finishes!

    I’m glad he’s taking himself seriously

    Maybe signing two guys that plan on taking minutes from him will piss him off and motivate him.

    I feel bad for Scoot. He clearly works very hard. I think he won't get his shot here.

    He's had at most 30 games under his belt where he looked like a passable NBA player. He doesn't have any kind of leg to stand on when it comes to be being pissed about anything. He hasn't earned it yet.

    ?? Are you saying this because of Jrue and Dame?
    1. Jrue can play next to him because he can guard anyone and apparently isn't a pure PG
    2. Love Jrue but he is injured a fair amount.
    3. Dame won't play at all this coming season, so plenty of time for Scoot to show what he can do. Dame may be coming off the bench if and when he recovers.

    If you want to feel sorry for someone, feel sorry for Caleb Love.

    Scoot got that GOAT mentality, I'm sure he's stoked to have two incredible mentors.

    Yep. I’m sure he loves being 3rd on the depth chart

    I don't think these players view it that way. They all have the confidence to believe they're the best player and will be starting. Now eventually if everyone is healthy Billups will need to manage somebodies ego. But these guys don't assume they're going to be a backup.

    The cynicism in this forum is so annoying. Usually the same individuals who bring this energy too.

    You have been pretty consistently cynical about Joe Cronin :dunno:

    Unlikely

    Scoot vs Dame for PG

    Sharpe vs Jrue for SG

    Scoot and Sharpe need to prove the can be better than old post injury Dame and old declining Jrue

    Exactly, if he is not playing this year, then I see no way Scoot is 3rd on the depth chart. Not too early to discuss this upcoming year, but way too soon to worry about the following one.

    Behind who? Jrue and Damian Lillard's Exploding Achilles (DLEA)?

    Scoot will start at least 42 games this season.

    Exactly! They have (honestly) a low bar to hurdle over. If they can't do that, then they should probably be traded. This is their prove-it year.

    I think if Jrue goes down, the Conductor will start Deni at pg
