    Here’s Scoot next to guys that are listed at 6’3.

    So, this brings up the question:

    Can Scoot and Dame play together? Scoot’s offensive game is PG oriented, while Dame can play off the ball.

    Defensively Scoot can match up with many 2’s.

    What were Adam Silver's measurements at the combine? 6'3" barefoot or in shoes?

    Scoot definitely shorter than Coach. Really doesn't matter so long as he plays lights out!

    From the highlights I have seen Scoot is prone to passing first and midrange stuff. He attacks very aggressively. He really reminds me of Westbrook. They can make it work easily. Ant and CJs games are based around shooting. Period. I would imagine Scoot’s defense is already at Dame’s level (at least) and probably exceeds it easily with experience.

    The team said he measured at 6’2.5 inches barefoot. In shoes he’s around 6’3.5.

    If he switched to Hokas he could be 6'6.

    However far the distance between the ground and the top of his head, his very long wingspan is easily long enough to guard 2's, and maybe 3's.

    I guess "legit" has a different meaning than I thought

    There used to be a Blazer fan on Oregonlive that made a shit ton of money touring the country for years in a Kiss tribute band. Went to his house to pick up Blazer tickets one time. Really nice guy but I can't remember his moniker or name.

    6'4"? Somewhere Neil Olshey is envisioning that he landed his SF of the future.

    I don't know whether that background is level, but Chauncey's head is up into the pinwheel, and Scoot's appears to be below it.
