Two benchmarks I'm specifically looking for this year: TOV% below 14% (nearly 20% last year) 60%+ FG% 0-3 ft from rim (barely 50% last year) I think these are reasonable, still leave quite a bit of room for improvement, and would show that he's been working on the biggest, most significant issues we saw from him last year.
Sure those were just highlights, but nonetheless there were quite a few exceptional highlights. If he can continue to improve from 3 so that the defenders have to close out on him, attacking the basket will be a lot easier. It seemed like the explosive plays came more towards the end of the season.
expectations? How about Nike buying out Scoot's Puma contract, and replacing the Ja Morant commercials with O.D.D.
A/TO FG% needs to get above 40% this year 3Pt needs to get mid thirties No reason a baller like him who's had his own gym, trainers, etc cannot improve his shot. If you are going to be A GUARD in the NBA, especially now days, you better have a shot. He has to improve big time, imo.
I don’t think there’s anything he can improve on. I’ve done my own research (watched YT videos) and the guy never misses.
My real growth I target with both Shae and scoot is around year 4-5+ such as w Ant, whom was another young guard that we developed into a borderline/poor man’s star simply by being patient. We just have to be realistic until then and we can be excited for those peak years.. brick by brick
Stop doing stupid things, like passing into the stands, dribbling off his foot, and passing to a teammate who has to leap 4 feet to catch it, and loses the opportunity to shoot. He often played like a 10-year-old. 5th grade, not as good as an average 7th grader. He was Raymond Felton. The useless Ignite coaches had taught him nothing. Stop going crazy congratulating himself with a wide-open mouth and yanking his chest jersey, when he finally does some trivial thing right. Think like an adult, a professional, not a child.
trade Scoot for this guy named FDC (future draft capital). It's an effective term for Blazer podcasters. They get head nods from companions and thumbs up in the chat room.
