Please welcome our newest all-star addition that perfectly fits the below 6'3" height threshold!

You could at least wait for the pick to be made and determine it's not being traded. But hey, you got to be first, so there's that I guess.

I hope to God they don't screw this up

How about that, another tiny guard, this one without a shot.

What are the odds that Portland keeps him?

Anyway I think all those talks about tiny height and no shot are a bit overstated. Dude is a baller and he doesn't seem to be afraid to work hard. Wish him to show what kind of dog he actually is in the Blazers uniform.

Pretty good I think. It's easier to find a proper trade for Ant than Scoot at the moment.

Wow y’all are bearish on Scoot lmao. I for one feel like we got the steal of the draft. Brandon miller will not last imo

Scoot shot a similar percentage, though a much lower volume, as Miller from the NBA three point line just a FYI. He has a good mid-range game. He's also possibly closer to 6'4 in shoes, which is a positive.

I can't believe he fell to three.

There’s something about Scott’s drive that makes it very easy for me to get behind this pick. The guard logjam will have to be resolved, but Scott seems to have that energy and will to be good that I love seeing in young players.

Curry+Thompson = Spash Brothers

Scoot + Sharpe = Slam Brothers? Flight Bros? Jump Bros?
Hmm... maybe something else.
Ideas?

Matador brothers?

I like it, I hope we keep Scoot.

"Flash brothers"? Let's not change that much.

Dwarf brothers is a possibility though.
Anyway, it's going to be fun watching how that Dame-Scoot-Sharpe combo will work out at the beginning of the next season.

Scoot would go #1 in many drafts. We got a good one!
Train under Dame for a bit, then let him tear up the league.

This guy's gonna wreck. I know Dame feels the urgency, but I say just roll it out and enjoy the show.

I hope he proves me wrong.

Time will tell.

No brainer pick. Sometimes folks can overthink things and get overly concerned about things like size but one thing is sure this kid is straight baller and you want to collect those type of guys.

Clipsz 4 Life · Post #19 » by **Tim Lehrbach** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 12:54 am

Why haven't we talked about how Scoot is gonna make Dame's life so much easier? Try doubling our man at half court now... 4-on-3 featuring Scoot, anyone?
