    If you have to explain to people they need to be patient with a kid who just turned 20 and has like 45 games under his belt….. I think it’s wasting your time. How could you have unrealistic expectations?

    But even IF he was averaging a triple double, this place would still be hating on him. …….Russ on Line 1

    The Clips have 4 guys that can take over a game. That is really hard to match.

    Yeah you don’t hear as much smack being talked about them on here as you did right after the Harden trade. Shit takes time to marinate man. They are going to be tuff come April!

    Some of the comments about scoot are things I would expect in year two or three. Not halfway through year one.

    I would like to see his assists up and scoring down, but he's been playing off the ball more in the past few weeks. I want to see him run the offense.

    I think we can all agree that even if Scoot has a massive growth spurt this offseason he will never be our center of the future.

    And if you have a massive growth spurt, you can stand in for Bill Walton as his celebrity double!

    At least he impacts the game when he isn’t scoring.

    Something CJ… and Jerami Grant… struggle(d) to do.

    Hopefully KL is healthy, because otherwise, they will be a lot more beatable. (I like watching KL play basketball).

    So Basketball Reference has Simons as 6-3 and 181 lbs.
    Now Scoot is listed as 6-3 and 202 lbs.
    One thing I'm not sure about is that Simons and Scoot are the same height? I have always thought Simons was an inch or two taller? Maybe it's the hair?
    No @SlyPokerDog neither will be playing center.
