    Love the breakdown, as always! I’ve been team start Scoot, trade Ant before the season started. Thrilled to see him proving himself

    I'm just so very grateful that you take the time to do these. This level of coverage is literally unmatched. Happy to have more context for what specific things to look for when it comes to Scoot's growth.
    One thing Lamar often points out on the broadcast is just how often Scoot makes the simple pass. I wonder Sam if you agree to some extent with Lamar on Scoot's ability to keep things moving, and if so, how much value that brings.

    It's actually kinda wild how bad of a screener Ayton is. Probably not ideal when you're a team who's two best young prospects are guards lol

      Some nights Aytons screens look fine and some nights they’re like awful. I think Aytons effort overall varies depending on how many shot attempts he’s getting on offense.

    The 27:00 "play him with a lot of non-shooters" is funny because almost all of our roster would be considered non-shooters.

    as a trailblazers fan i will always ride with scoot, it seemed like the athleticism disappeared for a while, im so happy to see him start to succeed and hope it is a sign of things to come.

    44% from 3 for the month of January, really hoping he can keep up that kind of production. It will help the spacing immensely, which will also make his life easier.

    Fascinating and fantastic breakdown. Really appreciate the objective attention paid to young players and teams. For Scoot finishing at the rim is definitely the ultimate make or break skill. I hope the Blazers aren’t stuck drafting another guard because of best available, so Scoot can continue to get the chance to develop.

    You should really consider renaming ‘Recommendation Corner’ to “The Rec Center” just to keep it more in tune with the b-ball theme

    Shocker, it takes a few seasons for young guards (especially teenagers) to get acclimated to the NBA. He went 2nd overall for a reason boys, long term projection.

      Professional scouts are better at their job than amateur scouts. Unfortunately the amateurs are more loud and have no disincentive to cry "Bust!" early

  • @josh1581

    Last year when he Nashed under the basket (especially from the right wing) it was a jump pass and pick six. Every time. Feels like he did that 50 times.

  • @bkelly625

    Baron Davis 2.0? 🤔 He was picked 3rd overall and also had a bad rookie year very similar player also in terms of playstyle, size and athleticism

    • @thuggwaffle8825

      Fair comparison. Both had crazy wingspan and are scrappy players.

  • @metal--babble346

    give all credit to Coach Billups. Please ignore the first half of the season, when Scoot got benched to pad Anfernee Simons stats.

    Surprised to hear Matas is a poor defender. Bulls fans were saying it was the side of the ball he was better at earlier in the season. Is it simply a lack of physical strength, or bad process?

    • @GameTheoryPodcastwSamVecenie
      @GameTheoryPodcastwSamVecenie  16 дней назад +2

      Think that he's probably better on defense now becuase he's been that bad on offense.
      And yeah, the physical strength is a huge issue on defnese.

    These DA screens omg. Just pick a spot and actually get into ur guy he constantly tries to switch the side of the screen and chickens out of contact. And its this very wishy washy action that will get him the illegal screens hes trying to avoid

    • @jojoprocess2820
      @jojoprocess2820 17 дней назад +2

      Not saying amen wasn't a better choice, but hes one of the worst shooting wings I've ever seen which I think does heavily limit his ceiling. Like his 90th percentile shooting outcome would be becoming an average shooter.
      Scoots ceiling if he somehow puts it together and refines his game is higher imo, although its also much less likely that he ever becomes a more impactful player than amen
