    All of you naysayers need to Chill! Dude is 19 and plays the most complex position on the team. He will be fine, before the ankle injury he was making positive strides. Do you think the G league is anywhere near the big league as far as competition/ talent goes? Name a point guard that came in at 19 and lit up the association the first month of games?

    I will continue to watch him figure it out and learn how to run a team. Will he be a super star? The hope is yes but those type of accomplishments take time unless your name is Lebron or Magic.

    Enjoy the ride and have fun watching the development!

    Phoenix had All-Star Kevin Johnson playing point. Nash was a bench guy to start his career. The Suns didn't lose on purpose, draft Nash at #3, trade KJ, then tell everyone this kid is the future of the franchise.

    What the Blazers did is really beside the point. We have Scoot. I was hoping Charlotte would take him. But once they didn't we pretty much had to.

    8 and 5 in 30 mpg, Nash's 3rd season.

    Nash got his butt kicked by the cheating Lakers in the playoffs. We need Scoot to 1-up Steve Nash. However long it takes... championship

    And Nash turned 24 years old halfway through his 3rd season. Scoot will turn 20 halfway though his first season.

    I’ve said this before but Scoot has until Feb 2026 to be the same age that Dame was vs the Lakers in his debut.

    Even 10-5-3 would have been pretty decent and something to build upon. 8-4-2 on 5 games though really isn't that bad beings his minutes were severely restricted due to fouls. In 5 games he has 23 assists with 20 TO's. He has 20 PF's and has fouled out once with 5 fouls two other games. A total -43 so far while playing.
    To put it lightly he's had a rough start. He can be much better and we all hope to see it.

    Too small a sample size to make judgments on Scoot. He won't be a bust. New coach, new teammates, new competition takes time to get used to for a PG, esp 19 y/o

    That was pretty much my point. It’s 5 games and he was in foul trouble most of it.

    well, 6 days ago, the Blazers said 2-3 weeks so it might still be 1-2 weeks before they can even re-evaluate

    I also wonder about Brogdon's hamstring

    Dame will eat him for lunch on Sunday if he's coming straight off injury without any prep or practice beforehand.
