Need to get him the ball in the deep post more, I hate these games where he’s just playing as a catch and shoot threat.
In the post he can go at absolutely anyone

And the point of this post is exactly what?

It has nothing to do with focusing on PS, it’s just that Scotty is not assertive enough. When PS gets the ball in the paint he works hard, but when SB gets it his first instinct is to pass. SB has the size and the speed to dominate one-on-one’s but for whatever reason he just wants to pass.

I honestly really like the version of Scottie averaging something like 18/10/6. He’s like Draymond with a 3-point shot and ability to hit clutch shots and the team looks great aside from the Magic game.
He’s not quite as offensively dynamic as Pascal (yet), and that’s okay, he’s in year 3. The team is going to give him the ball plenty.

Truly believe Scottie won’t be able to get to that next level with Siakam on the roster
they just play to similarly positionally and if you have poeltl with them too that lane is clogged

I feel like he’s not being maximized, but he’s still really effective in this role. Reminds me a lot of his rookie season. I wish it was a bit more give and take between him and Pascal though, cause he’s definitely able to do more than he is now

While I would like for his usage rate to increase, if it means we’re getting wins with Pascal getting more touches I don’t think Scottie is too worried.

Darko’s offense has the ball in the PG hands a lot as well as high post initiation through Poeltl. Between that and working in more Siakam post touches, it’s disappointing that Scottie is back to being a “connector” and often just hovering around the 3 pt line which was a big frustration last year. With that said Scottie himself absolutely has to be more assertive too despite not being empowered or put in the best positions to succeed. He has gotten very passive compared to that Sixers game for example where he came out with 12 instant points on Oubre

If you think that means he’s been playing bad, you haven’t been watching

“Scottie won’t reach that next level with FVV as PG” “Scottie won’t reach that next level with Pascal on the team” “Scottie won’t reach that next level with Dennis as PG” “Scottie won’t reach that next level with OG driving”
Why not instead of focusing on everyone else, maybe Scottie just has to be more assertive
