You know a moderator isn't REALLY supposed also to be a troll, right? Maybe give up one or the other.
I suspect that no matter whatever Scoot does, some posters will always take the side of he's a "bust". In this case, it's no different. It's not worth the effort to engage in conversations with someone who is trolling. Especially given the odd choice for a name.
Seems to me we've got some always on the side that he'll be a bust and some always on the side that he's going to be a star. Both seem pre-mature to me.
Yep. But when one side (he's a bust) is done just to ruffle feathers, it's annoying. And utterly pointless.
He's a very young point guard. He hasn't been that bad. I didn't expect anything from him. I was shocked when people were complaining that he was going to push Dame out. Like, what 19 year old PG has ever been close to as good as Dame? The expectations for Scoot were incredibly unrealistic.
Language, spoken or written was one of THE most effective ways to raise one's stature....until the last 30 years. As one who learned the value of writing and speaking with both knowledge and intellect since the beginning of my education, I find the lack of concern for these abilities to be quite annoying. No, that is not accurate. I find it offensive. BTW, it's grammar. (This was my opinion towards the trend, not at you personally)
Some people think it’s like ‘cutting edge’ to claim a young player a bust early. I remember people that claimed CJ was an absolute scrub his first two years in the league and he had 4 years in college.
Some people's expectations were for him to be above- average starter quality from the jump; clearly those were incredibly unrealistic. Some people's expectations were for him to be a rotation-level player. Those are not unrealistic, even for a 19-year-old point guard. Those people have also been disappointed.
I had no clue we had so many professors on this board. Its nearing time I provide some of you a lesson on emotional intelligence!
