    Starting to see the prophecy come to fruition, now Scoot/Shae need to get Ayton the rock more!

    that stat guy the broadcast has it terrible.

    lol..."potential assists"...yeah, that's about as useless a gauge as there is....but let's spend 30 seconds babbling about it then saying Scoot is averaging 5 assists...when he's averaging 3

    Scoot is playing better tonight though. Still shooting poorly from the arc

    The first step is confidence.

    The second step is repeatable shooting form.

    He needs to work on his shot form. But I like that he's not scared to shoot them. Only way to find a rhythm is to shoot when you're open. He should every time he's open without worrying about his last shot.

    Ayton isn’t even part of Billups’ offense, let alone an important part.

    Seems like this is the first game we've had a lead in the second half

    There are hints of organized offense in this game. It's not much, but it's progress

    Ayton is playing well, they need to get him the ball in the post more!

    But most of them would only take 1-2 per game.

    We're using Ayton like we used Joel Pryzbilla. I don't get it.

    DA is pretty good. He'd be better with someone that could set him up consistently.

    Ayton just has so much untapped potential. There's got to be a coach that could do for him what Isiah Thomas did for Jermaine O'Neal

    He’d be murder with the right offensive mindset.
