Scottie looked incredible out there, looks like he might be taking that third year leap raptors fans have been waiting for.

There are 2 big changes from Scottie compared to last season.
1st of all that 3pt shot has gotten a lot better. He’s shooting it in rhythm and his form has improved. He’s 7/14 from 3 in preseason, almost entirely on catch and shoots. But if he is a solid catch and shoot guy then he’s going to be a legitimate off ball floor spacer which opens things up.
2nd is the shooting assertiveness. He’s starting to act like a 1st or 2nd option every game. 45 shots in 89 preseason minutes. That’s going to be about 17 shots a game for him and last season he shot 13.2 a game. Those extra shots from not having Fred around are going disproportionately to Scottie. He’s going to get 20+ points a game at this rate.
