    I wonder if Russ just seemed more athletic because when he was younger he (for the most part) only knew one speed and that was full speed ahead. Scoot seems to have a change of speed, which we remember from Andre Miller, can be pretty effective. He could lull you to sleep. Those dunks from Scoot from the dotted line, in traffic, were impressive.

    I like that comparison, especially with the midrange.
    Hopefully he really ends up as a more athletic Paul (who doesn't get injured)

    Scoot in the wild today at Raising Canes, wearing his own jersey. Probably wearing it to bed too.

    hahahaha I thought the guys looked a tad young to have joined this forum back in 2008.

    It appears Dame liked Scoot's IG post from Wed, day before draft. . I don't think he'd do that if he's pissed

    Maybe we are like the Spurs of point guards. They go Robinson-Duncan we go Dame-Scoot. I know it’s way too soon but this guy gives me the vibe he doesn’t think Portland is just some shithole in the middle of nowhere. It’s always nice to have players that actually like the city.

    What do we think the chances are of trading Scoot this summer? Now that he’s in Portland wearing a jersey, are we truly committed to keeping him?

    Saw an advertisement that the team is selling his jersey so I highly doubt they’d trade him.

    I mean if Jaylen Brown or.Bridges became available for Scoot the Blazers probably consider it. But that seems very unlikely, so I'd say we keep Scoot. Sharpe is probably least likely to be traded on the team and I'd put Scoot next.

    Looks like a video from Scoot official account.

    He has a close relationship with Steph, especially trying to follow some of his offcourt charity. Steph mentions they have a very similar mindset and values. Great to hear.

    We lucked out on getting Scoot. I like the Robinson Duncan Spurs analogy. Yeah the twin towers were awkward at times but if worked great as Robinson aged and they got two titles. Scoot and Dame could be similar.
