    Can Thomas contact will also be interesting. We saw how Clarkson/Sexton/Poole had near zero value. Used to be empty stat 20ppg scorers always had some demand. Perhaps no longer.

    Could there be a better teammate for Scoot to learn from and play with than Jrue? I don't think so.

    I watched the whole thing and got a good workout.

    He seems pretty spot on with his development techniques. Dude’s clients include Leflop, Wade, Maxie, Paul, CJ, Mitchell, etc.

    I watched several of his workouts with Scoot and he's got him working on his handles going both left and right. I can see how Scoot needed to learn to finish with both hands. Thee videeos can be boring because it's all repetition but so far, Scoot is a better midrange shooter than Jrue in the workouts.Scoot is also quite a bit faster than Jrue.

    Scoot is stronger but it seems Jrue has more finesse and patience. He just comes off smoother than Scoot at this point but no question Scoot can be explosive.

    Almost as if maybe the players ahead of him might be better than him too. Strange.

    Exactly. He was arguably our best player the last few years.

    We still REALLY need to be in talent acquisition mode.
