    I think the apprehension is coming from a stacked defense. Even if he's getting past his guy, there are others sagging behind him. He's playing better. He's been on a steady incline from the first game so I'm not too mad. He's improved every game.

    Yea Grant and Brogdon need to be the first to go. We need to do everything in our power to develop Shaedon and Scoot, and anything in the way needs to go. That includes Billups IMO if he's ultimately not a good fit.

    I get the feeling that after Scoot has ONE big game, a lot of pressure will be off his shoulders and he will settle down a lot.

    True seems like teams aren't respecting our shooting (why tf would they?) and it's affecting our spacing overall.

    Still he should be getting penetration/ dump offs to DA just by beating his man off the dribble more. I dont care about his shooting/finishing right now, I want to see him make good plays and get to his spot with quality scoring chances.

    Camara was the main acquisition from the nurkic trade, ayton was filler.

    I will not be surprised if you see him having issues again as a rookie, inconsistency is the norm. But, there are flashes

    Nice theory, but other PF collect rebounds at a much higher rate than Grant.

    Dude his comments the other day about Scoot's play speed blew my mind!! Like how about help build some confidence in our #3 pick. Just weird ass leadership saying something like that.

    Gotta say, the Raptors really overvalue their players. I don't see that Siakam is all that

    Chauncey gets an F- for usage of Ayton on offense and overusage of Grant.

    Gonna go back and watch the video of Scoot's first quarter in Summer League to prove I didn't dream it

    Jeremi Grant's best rebound was with him with his ass on the floor.

    I know we called CJ "Me-J"...

    I think we need to start typing it as "JeraME"

    That’s Scoot Henderson. Penetrate and pass.

    Grant opts to not pass to Ayton who had his guy sealed off so he can chuck a wild floater with two defenders on him.
