Scoot would’ve had a double-double if Shaedon had hit half of his shots.
Scoot was impressive but once they started switching those screen’s instead of just goin under that’s when the jumper stopped falling and it made him slightly less dynamic. Amen & scoot have crazy high basketball IQ I’m happy with amen cuz he has something you can’t teach, size & length
I have been impressed with Amen the way he can control the offense at his own pace and how he can easily set up his teammates on offense and how he can get to the rim it was just electric man.
Amen going to have to start hitting some floaters and mid ranges because he can’t expect to absorb contact and try to lay it up over NBA bigs all the time.
Scoot is as good as advertised man he can he can hit those middeys and he can also set his teammates up as well Portland got super lucky getting the third pick man they got their next franchise point guard meaning it’s easier for them to trade Dame
Oh my is Casper!
It sucks that they both got hurt and will miss the rest of SL
It was a great game
Portland got a player with a high floor and high ceiling.
Houston got a player with a much higher ceiling and a much lower floor.
I think anyone would trade Amen for Scoot right now. After a year or two, Amen may very well be the better player, but Amen still needs to improve.
