    Good Scoot game after a very shaky start. Need some consistency now.

    Can we please shut Ant down for the year and force feed Scoot minutes??

    Yeah, unfortunately... Now we're just hoping to nab the next Giannis or Jokic late, or hit Fantasy Land lotto results...

    Very frustrating approach to this season for sure because we desperately a true #1 option.

    But some recent picks in the 8-14 range who have been very good prospects;

    - Dereck Lively
    - Jalen Williams
    - Jalen Duren
    - Dyson Daniels
    - Franz Wagner
    -Tyrese Halliburton

    It's possible to find impact players in this range who have all star potential. Scouting is paramount and we need the player to outplay their draft position.

    Never forget POR has an overall top pick, Ayton. Growth > draft spot. Sga wasn’t top 10 and he is in his 7th season I think. No ROY for him and he is a franchise player without a doubt.

    I say they play whoever they want in the next two games. I think we'll lose those anyway. Then they should shut down Ant, Deni and Tou. Deni and Tou are obviously getting starters minutes next season and as fun as they are to watch, taking them out will do nothing to their development and insure losses. You leave Jerami and Deandre out.

    Rotation: Scoot, Shaedon, Tisse, Kris, Clingan, Dalano, Rupert, Bari, Reath, Minaya

    That should put us in the 8th spot for the lotto. Trade Ant and Jerami in the off season... hopefully somehow Deandre, Rob and Tisse as well. Fill their roster spots with young players with up side via, trade, draft and free agency. Then we can actually start our future next season, most likely with a playoff push.

    Yeah, good call and with guys like Bryce and Minaya in the rotation you would think some nights one of those guys and even Cissoko will get a lot of minutes and other nights it will be another of the two way guys that gets 20+.
