    +3 turnovers a game off the bench is not ideal.

    In 26 mins though. Not ideal for sure but just over 2 would be expected. He sits at 2.9 and 2.5 would be just fine. This seems like it would be a bit situational.

    I don't think Chauncey and his worst offense in the league is doing Shae or Scoot any favors...

    Hate to say it, but @Rastapopoulos might need to regurgitate his serving and force feed the balance of it to the forum.

    Too often I watch Scoot playing and I find myself thinking "This guy doesn't play a lot of basketball, or at least didn't when he was young and should have been learning the game."

    I hope we fool a team into giving us first for him. Telfair 2.0.

    Sad but yes I'd trade Scoot for Pritchard right now. Would be shocked if the Celtics would consider it.

    They wouldn’t. They’d laugh and hang up.

    Scoot at this point is just beyond bad. I don’t even think he’s worth a 2nd round pick

    PP is 26 and brought up by, probably, the greatest NBA organization of all time. At 20 PP was probably a mess on an NBA floor.

    A better comparison would be other 20 y/o that never played college ball.

    I don't think him going to the Celtics is necessarily why he's where he is, but I do think it didn't hurt. Going to college for 4 years and not relying on just being stronger or faster than everyone else had a lot to do with it.

    Scoot *really* should have gone to a real college, and honestly, still should be in college. He can't shoot for shit and looks lost on defense.

    Funny, as his defense is the strongest part of his game.

    I mean offense he's clearly in the bottom 2% of NBA players.

    Athletically yes, but the game is still too fast for him.

    Actually Scoot does have a lot of similarities to Telfair 2nd year statistically. Telfair advanced stats all much better. Scoot is better 2pt scoring, assist, and with free throws. Telfair was a much better 3pt shooter and less turnovers.
