    Could have been worse; seems like the Cavs slacked off a little.

    Billups wants him to be our #1 and he’s not that type of player.

    I wish I saw something in Scoot that made me think he was going to turn it around, but...
    He can't shoot.
    He's a bad penetrator with a loose handle
    He doesn't seem to have good court vision
    He's a lot less athletic than advertized
    He's not a good defender
    The only reason he's getting minutes is because he was a hyped #3 pick (and Skylar Mays is an even worse PG)

    It's weird how Scoot looks bad individually but lineups with him in them always seem to have a postive point differential

    Why does Scoot look like he actively DOES NOT WANT THE BALL

    It's cool. You gave up 10 minutes in. You don't get to cheer for him when he does.

    I mean, Scoot is just a turnover waiting to happen

    Even in SL. It's like he makes one mistake and then loses all his confidence.

    Scoot's bad turnovers become contagious. The opponent gets the fumble virus.

    Have the Blazers heard of boxing out?

    Scoots thought process:

    1. Bring ball up.
    2. Pass to the nearest player.
    3. PLEASE DONT PASS THE BALL BACK TO ME

    Good thing we didn’t prematurely trade Ant because both Shaedon and Scoot have both looked their ages. Ant will clearly be our best player when he comes back.

    Ayton is 4-5. Just get him the ball. It's not that difficult.

    When Simons comes back, should Scoot spend time in the G-League? He needs to get his confidence back
