    Trap him hard and intelligently, force him to pass out of double team.
    It is his Achilles heel. Dame is not a good decision-maker/passer in this scenario.

    Scoot is going to impact from day one. This is not a normal 19 year old. Even his turnovers are ones you live with.

    Scoot is playing against Victor on NBAtv right now and another one right after that one.

    Just got done watching scoot against Victor team first game of there last season. Offense I was surprised due to not just his scoring but how he set up players up to score. Now let tell what I didn't like was his defense really look lost on that end but again his first game of last year. So what I be watching for in summer league how much progress he made at that end of the court.

    If Wembanyama can't hold his ground against stronger/stouter post scorers, it could look like this:

    Scoot also loves to push the pace. It's going to be like we had Josh Hart as a PG in that respect.

    I'm really hoping for a Chris Paul-like renaissance.

    I can't wait to see him in a Blazers jersey. Dude looks like the real deal even in those practice clips...

    Athletic Chris Paul has been my ceiling projection from the beginning. In fact, I have written it enough times that I only had to write "athletic" and my phone suggested "Chris" as the next word.

    This kinda feels like low key shade at our other guards and I love it.

    I'm definitely reading too much into it, but in those summer league interviews, the interviewer started a line of questions to Shaedon with something like, "Dame being one of the best leaders in the league," and Sharpe didn't respond to that part, acknowledge it, or even blink.

    yeah, at least we don't have to hear Brooke ask after every game "how does it feel to have the privilege to play with Dame?"

    That was my initial thought as well when he said "true point guard."

    Athletic Chris Paul is a lofty expectation. I’d love for that to be his eventual ceiling.
