@samson folk the Angry Serb bashing you guys cuz he doesnt like the fact you guys are saying davion mitchell is good and is gonna get paid 10 million a year. the Angry Serb Trolled Davion Michell on X where Davion blocked him, and he made a troll post on it saying he doesnt take it personal davion banned him cuz he was trashing davions decision making and plays.
@@samsonfolk2946 its the same perpetrator that was slandering fred vanvleet, siakam, dennis schroder, malachi flynn, ochai agbaji and now davion mitchell who is hoopculture13 who banned the content creator that spreads hate against raptors players as well as other raptors content creators. Ask ES he will know who the angry serb is. i believe Es got into it with him also. i believe he was saying he got no credit for spreading hate against the named players as well last night like he deserves some merit medal for spreading hate.
@@samsonfolk2946 he even pointed out to his friend at the game last night number 45 hates him and banned him on twitter because he made like 10 hate videos on him with over 3 hrs of trash talking the guy.
Dude, congrats on the sponsorship! And agreed on the point about wanting Scottie to sharpen his driving skills as much as his three pointer, or more even. Like Tre said, the variance of the three means that some nights, it's just not going to be there whereas a driving game is much more reliable. I still don't think it's bad that Scottie is shooting more threes but I'd like to see an uptick in his driving as well
I appreciate the analysis of Scottie's driving vs 3 development. I was contemplating the same thing watching so many pull up 3's since his return. Great content. Thanks
Samson I just want to say I like your objective take on the top 25 under 25 ESPN's list & your ranking of Scottie. I personally would not take Maxey over Scottie despite him bein a better shooter /scorer. I see him extensively in the # 1option as a Sixer& he fail mightly. He is not the better playmaker or decision maker. SB is hands down better defensively & screener & rebounder. As for Chet he is better defender & shootet but Scottie beat him in the other areas. I will feel more comfortable running the offense through SB than Chet. Chet like Wemby's physique also concerns me long term.
The thing is. Imagine if Giannis could pull up for 10 3s per game out of pnr. He might be the all time goat. This is the season for exploring the outer limits of the ever expanding universe that Scottie could become. If he can figure out the pull-ups he will be able to float gracefully to the rim like a voyager space walk. To infinity….. and beyond
if Giannis pursued his pull up 3 instead of his driving game, he would be a much worse player for sure you don't get to just add stuff on, these players chose how they developed and what they spent time doing, and Giannis is a FMVP and a prodigious driver
I commented before finishing the video. I agree he doesn’t need to average 10 3s a game. But he can develop both and should because it will also encourage his aggressiveness. The point is if he can be perceived as a threat to pull up out of pnr than defense will have to go over the screen and he will be unstoppable. Why not try to develop it and see if he can become Giannis with a pull up threat?
@@leon__nights he already is trying to develop it though, and it's the focus of his summer workouts, he's taking nearly 6 attempts per game! he's been doing both, but I also would like to see driving emphasized so he can finally start having elite seasons as a driver, considering his physical gifts and passing ability
I mean Darko and the highly acclaimed development staff seem to think this is the way to go. Darko made that comment last year about if defenses start closing out it’s over for the league( or something like that). I mean I’m just some guy on the internet and not a professional basketball coach. I will defer to Darko for this take.
@@leon__nightsScottie has also taken a leap in drives per game, I just talked to Darko two days ago about how they're working on it, it's not just the threes for Darko and the developmental staff we all disagree with coaches all the time, Nick Nurse was a championship coach and I disagreed with a lot - it's just hoops!
though RJ is/has been excelling in this role, I question how effective he remains when his USG is scaled down (with IQ's return as well as whenever we add more players via the draft) he's never been a good "role player" and I think y'all are jumping the gun here a bit. I think the issue with him has always been scalability. He can "get you buckets" but can he do all the other things necessary for a team to succeed?
As the captain of the anti-Bargnani bandwagon (so much so it pissed off a lot of people off), the two things that made me so against Bargnani (and why I don’t think he’d be good today either) was his poor defence and bad rebounding.
we're trying to get to 12k subs, so like/comment/subscribe, it helps so much! thank you!

Good show guys
Samson tier 2 friend. Tier 1 podcaster tho. We gonna get sum shorts content of tier 1 friends at the 905 game? Great pod btw. Luv these
how dare you

Doesn't Samson live in like Rexdale? So it's like 4 hours transit roundtrip to get anywhere
not too much on Rexdale, Miksal hahah
we need to do a better job of making transit accessible

Great episode guys!
I’ve been waiting to see Downhill Scotttie for 4 years and we’re finally starting to see. The question is will it sustain?
I might even put Scottie over Chet. Yes, I'm a homer. too.
is tier 2 friend higher then tier 1
tier 1 is the highest ranking, tier 2 is a step down
Also, love all your pods Samson!
J Dub is really really really good but he is basketball Twitter’s darling.

I don’t know how Masai did it, but we have 2 top 5 picks as cornerstones..
Im never doubting Masai again tbh
I'm glad you are on the better raptors podcast, the other one is so toxic lmao
@ 😂😂😂 I got you, I got us.
Heeeeeeey we doin better! Proud of you samson
Boucheron mary browns commercial is the best raptors commercial ever
As the captain of the anti-Bargnani bandwagon (so much so it pissed off a lot of people off), the two things that made me so against Bargnani (and why I don’t think he’d be good today either) was his poor defence and bad rebounding.
Please don't wish Joel Embiid's career on any young player
RJ was the 3rd leading scorer in the Olympics, I believe, to your point…
resilient!
Comment for the algo, calm down Es
Bargs didn't care nearly enough about doing big man things back in that day - he'd be a disaster today.
The fact that RJ isn’t even in top 25 under 25 is monstrous
knicks tax holding him back, they did him dirty
@@handdownmandown4567Knicks fans labeled the man a “toxic asset” that’s wild 😂
