    Your little convo about ish smith has nothing to do with me. I couldn’t careless about that nonsense

    It’s a red flag that’s he’s shooting in the 20s in his circumstances with the green light. context matters. It doesn’t torpedoe the theory. If he can’t shoot as a ball dominant guard he’ll be weeded out sooner rather than later. And just be the next Simmons/russ who don’t have success in the modern era

    I’m going to continue saying, Scoot shot 32.4% for the year

    The G-League’s 50-game schedule is split into a 18-game Showcase in Nov-Dec and a 32-game “regular season” starting Dec 27. They reset team records and stats between the two.

    Don't throw us in the briar patch of making a mistake in drafting an MVP & 9 time all NBA player like Russ Westbrook - @YOLO will eventually pull up the briars and spray them with round up

    We’ll get a better idea of where’s he at when he’s either forced to shoot or hesitates soon. At 2 attempts per game that’s definitely something to note for someone putting up a lot of shots

    Yeah losers like Westbrick. That’s been proven already.

    Oh wait you’re the same one who advocated lets throw everything for John collins. Makes sense now.

    DD doesn’t want us to possibly draft someone who kicks KPJ out of the starting one spot? Color me surprised. :rolleyes:

    What makes you think Wemby is gonna be a good player? What have you seen from him that stands out. All I see is an injury waiting to happen and an inefficient chucker. Like we have plenty of those..

    We should trade the number 1 pick if we get it. If all the other gms think he's gonna be special. Imagine what we could get for it.

    His height and skill he is Ralph Sampson part 2, he might have injuries though so if the Rox decided to trade the number 1 pick for a haul, I could get behind that too.

    Yeah, but for the moment, we have GMs and Scouts counting all Scoot’s G-League games…

    and, then, we have this thread, which is only counting Dec 27th games and after.

    Yes and one of the main points is whether or not his shot can progress

    From 32.4%.

    Why are you talking about the “20s”

    It doesn’t matter. You can take both splits and it’s bad whether you go with one or or the other.and like i said at 2 attempts per game it’s a definite weakness. And clearly we’ll see real soon where he’s at

    You are 100% wrong. Brando Miller is a generational player and we’ll have a real coach next year and Harden back.

    Stats across the full 50-game schedule is not a “split”.

    He shot 32.4% for the year.

    Considering the sample size for showcase and regular season is a big discrepancy I’d say he’s closer to the latter 30% if even that.

    I guess it depends what you mean by Bridges being a #1 option. I'm not sure he's the best player on a championship team type of guy and despite his great play the team was mediocre after the trade. The Nets are also in a tough situation where they won't have cap space and won't have their own picks.

    They might bite at the chance to get their own picks and be able to develop their own guys than be stuck at that mediocre level for the next 5 years.
