Just as he did in the G league(sub-30% from three), Scoot continues to struggle mightily with his shot
His shot is actually the least of my worries. It looks mechanically solid. He can’t get to the rim right now and that was supposed to be his thing
New jalen green just dropped
Funnily enough, Green’s G-league stats were better than Scoot’s.
He’s a star. He just is. He just has IT.
That was pretty much the Scoot analysis over the summer.
It’s pretty clear based off early results that the g league isn’t even as competitive as college and scoot was below avg in efficiency in the g league. I have no idea what the hell portland was thinking.
Nah he was just locked up in the Suggitentiary
I thought he’d be better this year but he’s 19 🤷🏻♂️
He really doesn’t look like the athlete as advertised. I expected struggles but I don’t see the Westbrook rim pressure or Rose vertical bounce he was hyped on. So many missed bunnies bc of lack of size/lift
He has long arms but not crazy athleticism
Also, why the heck is Ayton getting so few shots less first 2 games? I know he came to the team very late, but it shouldn’t be that hard to just feed him the rock.
Tbf he was goikg against Suggs who will be all defensive team
It’s only been two games, so it is still early. But it is difficult not to be alarmed by what we’re watching. He looks so bad it is borderline unprecedented. And even worse – Scoot was supposed to be “the most NBA ready” of any player in the draft.
Even if Scoot improves 50% by the end of the season this will still be an unmitigated disaster. Scoot may end up as a cautionary tale. There have been warnings that going from h.s. to g league does not provide that structure young players need to properly develop And if Cronin chased a first ballot Hall of Famer out of town for this, he will never work in basketball again.
Blazers really chose Bledsoe 2.0 over Dame lmaooo
“i aint here trying to win with scoot henderson”
It’s his second nba game. Give the kid a break, let him find his rhythm
Watching Scoot in the G league , he would often get cut off on his drives. There was a lot of talk in the nba draft sub that he’s more of a Bledsoe level athlete; and that was often a median outcome ascribed to him… Baron Davis ceiling, Bledsoe median-ish outcome… If the Hornets thought he would be in Ja Morant’s ballpark, they would have drafted him
I was told scoot was going to have generational athleticism and quickness that was going to make him better than other blue chip prospects in his age range
Blazers really picked this guy over Dame
