Guards often look like shit in their rookie seasons. Just as Trae Young and Darius Garland. He’ll (probably) be fine.

You’re surprised teams were high on him now that you’ve seem him play in the league? Well, gee some front office should hire you to scout then.

Compared to Chet and Wemby yeah they are making all the rookies look bad, but FRP are generally a crapshoot. You never know how a teenager/20-something is going to adapt to NBA game and NBA life.

You draft for potential and hope your coaching staff knows how to develop talent. Scoot was probably a step or two faster than everyone in highschool. Now everyone is about the same speed, so hes got to figure outhow to adapt his game.

Just had his best game, maybe he will be better starting now. But yeah if he averages hold up, this is bust territory. Tho ofc still only a rookie and all

Thanks Magic

He hasn’t looked like a star or anything, but he hasn’t looked like a bust by any means.

Is this your first time watching rookies play?
