if he shoots 39% from 3 then we no doubt made the right decision and he’s gonna be a star. I’ll be happy with 34/35%
Clean up his turnovers and finish at the rim...he's been pretty bad at finishing in the paint. The kid needs to work on everything...catch and shoot 3s...passing ...his left hand, etc.
A successful season for me would be if he can stay on the floor. That means less turnovers and less fouls. This hurt the team more than his shotmaking, putting us in foul trouble early or just throwing away a possession. Those would be considered prerequisites I guess. 1) Have another season shooting 80%+ from the ft line, on more attempts. His shot is still so much of a work in progress that he could average 38% from 3 this season and then back to 32% next season. He shot 81.9% last season on 3.3fta. Another 80%+ from ft season on maybe 6fta would give me more confidence in his shot coming around eventually. 2) 7apg. That would be a modest increase from his production last season of 5.4apg. A modest increase would also have to be accompanied by last to’s as well. 3) 44-45% fg. He had last season to feel out the game, we need to see an improvement with his finishing ability. That would be a successful season to me. I’ll look at his 3pt% and ppg average with more critique at the end of his third season when his extension talks come up.
My expectations are improvement. Shoot better Turn the ball over less Defend better His per 36 numbers are 17/7 with 4 TOs a game. I think if he can average around there in 30-32 minutes, play better defense, increase his 3pt % to 33-34%, and increase his rim finishing and cut his TOs to around 3 in year 2 then I would be happy
NGL, that one he caught/shot in the air from the corner got me a little excited. I mean, who shoots alley-oop 3's?
Those were smooth!!! Man he just looks ripped too!!! I hope Shae be working like Scoot. If so, we have nothing to be concerned about.
Super excited about Scoot's potential but there is one important number during that 12 game run to end the season that is missing from this graphic and that is 5.25. Scoot had 5.25 turnovers per game over his last dozen games last season.
Nothing. Eric has clearly never heard of or read the story of never cry wolf. is there anything worse than making false claims like this? I mean it totally undermines any valid complaint some may have regarding actual racist behavior against some? A mod ought to delete those false claims Eric tosses out like candy without thought.
I'm probably the most anti-racist person on the board, going back to 60s radicalism. What I wrote, accurate in every word so much that I would often yell at him while watching games, is adultist. He made many mistakes in each game which get you benched in high school games. And I mean mistake after mistake, not just a couple per game. He often ruined 3-4 consecutive offensive plays before Billups ran a play to take it out of his hands. We would go way down with him in, then recover with him out, then...he's back in to get experience. After a lot of yelling from Billups, he made fewer mistakes late in the season...partly because the defenses let up on us knowing they'd blow us out anyway, partly because Billups eased up on requirements for him, and partly because months of coaching penetrated his over-quick skull, so Little Scooter slowed his play to think about what he was about to do. Amazing what being a grown-up can do for you.
