It's a pretty easy no for me. He made a massive jump last year, but I still think there's some playoff viability concerns. If we had a longer track record than one year at that level of play, I'd maybe feel a little different.

Amen Thompson Incredibly fun player to watch. Opens up a lot of interesting team building strategies in the future while complimenting our current and long term talent very well. Ideally you get him in a trade down but comfortable taking the swing at 3.

I think the weaknesses that *possibly* lower his ceiling are more so innate abilities/ physical qualities that will indeed improve but not get to the point relative to his NBA peers to open up those high end outcomes. I also just simply think his shooting form (and no, not just because it's a...

Whatever man. You post a highlight video of his best game vs the worst high major defense he played against and want to poke holes in my argument? Way to move the goal posts as well. I'm arguing top end ceiling. In the top 3 you're looking for a lead creator or #1 wing scorer traits...

He looks good here and clearly he's very talented. He's also a very good athlete with a runway. South Carolina was pretty awful defensively though. Worst in the SEC. In 19 games vs. Top 50 comp he had an EFG% of 43.2% (38.5% from 2). He's had some good sequences vs good defenders (ant black)...

Shoots like Bones Hyland. His form just lends itself to operating more as a PG/SG offensively as far as how he gets his shot. Mainly through ball screens and handoffs (likes the stop behind when teams switch those). A little bit off movement but he seems to like to square himself before he...

Yeah I just don't see an deal close to appealing enough from any of contender + Brooklyn to trade him.

I find the competition talk funny. Both the twins were top of their class and dominated high school and EYBL before going to OTE.

They go zone off of makes, man to man off misses

19:50 lol..."talked to dame...(cut)

none of that is new. All of it was in the media availability video posted by the team

Inexcusable number of mental mistakes defensively from Denver tonight.

Love Scoot. His combination of safety and upside may be tops in this draft. But there's still a large part of me that would like to see us take Amen and try a different team building strategy than the one we've watch play out the last decade

https://megaphone.link/NSM8207712129 Amen talk starts at 44:05, followed by a really good discussion on his fit with the Blazers at 54:15.

If they are in on Scoot and he's there at #3 would be the rationale imo Personally, that deal doesn't do much for me, especially if Ausar is gone.

Not the point

He's a way better athlete and passer than all these "broken jumper" wing comps. That matters....a lot

Even with all the open gym qualifiers aside, the shot looks better. Especially on the move / fading away. Still some alignment and release point issues to work through on the spot up though.
