@BLACKSTA361If you look back too, fit wouldn’t have worked with LaMelo regardless. Even if Scoot hit his peak, they’re both ball-dominant PGs. Same reason Warriors passed on Melo with Steph being there. Miller actually looks like a better player than Scoot too.
clickbait title and thumbnail, it's a shame channels have to resort to these kind of things to get viewers instead of, you know actually having good content.
His brilliance still shows. He's got a couple more years to grow before he gets locked into a role of either just being a solid contributor or being the best player in the team
Before the draft I was saying he was the most overrated player in the draft and got so much hate 😭 if you look at his splits and how other ignite players shooting have transitioned to the NBA it was obvious. I don’t remember a single person agreeing with me it used to make me furious it was so obvious
He's not even the Blazers' greatest tragedy. Remember Greg Oden? 1st pick overall in the 2007 NBA Draft, right before Kevin Durant. Or Sam Bowie? 2nd pick overall in the 1984 NBA Draft, right before Michael Jordan. As far as drafting goes in Portland, Scoot is more of the norm than the exception. His draft is nowhere close to being the greatest tragedy.
@@5star64 Irrelevant but let's go there. Oden was already injured when playing the NCAA Final yet, even with that red flag, they still chose him over KD, the leading scorer of the NCAA that year and, arguably the best player that year, along with Oden. But I wasn't calling Oden a bust. I was just saying that the Blazers choosing Oden over Durant is a greater tragedy than drafting Scoot. Even if Scoot ends up out of the league tomorrow, drafting Oden over Durant will remain a greater tragedy. You can't argue that. But their greatest tragedy still remains drafting Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan. Sam was an exceptional talent when healthy but, there's the rub. He already had health issues even in college. They had the chance to draft Jordan, the best player in college and the star of the US Olympic basketball team that year. What a shame.
@@savlosavage Roy's injury is a tragedy but nowhere close to being their greatest tragedy. The Blazers still managed to get several good years out of him before his knees gave out. They couldn't even salvage that out of Oden and Bowie.
@ Making a mistake in the NBA draft is not a tragedy. A human being losing his life in a senseless murder is a tragedy. Drafting the wrong player is a missed opportunity not a tragedy. It’s just basketball not life or death. Stop exaggerating.
hes 20 years old, takes time, PG struggles, he will get there blah blah- and why I'm watching the same 20 year old 16th overall Jared Mccain rise on a Rookie Ladder? Scoot tanked my Fantasy league. - generational talent my a$$
For a normal rookie what he did last season was good. But his label as a generational talent which some even said better than Wemby makes his contribution looks worse than it actually is. Especially with how good B Mills and Wemby did.
Naw don't spin scoots god awful shooting and decision making for a #3 pick. What really made him look bad is the fact miller turned out to be head and shoulders better.
@@almac9203 There are some people who said he should be no. 1 in a draft class that include Victor Wembanyama before the actual draft. Which means there are someone who said he is the better out of the 2. But okay let's forget the "better than Wemby" argument. At least a lot of people said he is that one prospect who will translate his skillset right away into the league, but seeing him struggle a lot means those judgement are wrong. Again I still believe he is good and can be great, but his label as the generational talent makes him look worse. If he didn't have that label I'm pretty sure people will see him a little better than what he receive now.
He’s still so young still he has time to turn this around. He should definitely hire Chris “Lethal Shooter” Matthews. He’d benefit with working with a defensive specialist as well.
Ignite broke Green, Scoot and Kuminga. A league where "Top" prospects showcases not caring for results and competition was doomed for failure. The result is imminent for its too prospects struggling in the pros. Lol Overtime Elite was lesser in talent but atleast there was competition with similar people trying to get in the league much like the NCAA. Kuminga, Green and Scoot are all explosive and uber athletic players who needed to improve their IQ by playing in NCAA rather than a stupid program where nba vets gets stupidly jealous to prospects not caring for competition.
I've been seeing former Blazers, doing twice as much for different teams, after being traded... Why is that??? Just a question of curiosity Scoot, might need different training and coaching, (Different organization) to develop into a dominant teammate.
Like who? The only former Blazer that is playing really well right now is Norm Powell. I think Chauncey needs to go but other than that they aren’t a bad organization.
Would the G league be considered better or worse competition than Division 1 NCAA Basketball? As odd as it seems, I believe it's worse. That being said, I think Scoot would have benefited from 1 or 2 years of college basketball
Give Scoot time to develop. Portland roster construction is horrible, injury filled with bigs whi can't shoot, finish well and don't have a post game. All the wings are slashers that don't shoot and all the forwards are tweeners stuck between position not excelling as a 3 or 4 on offense. Plus the coaching staff isnt strong enough to develop that team. Add the fact hes fighting for minutes with a combo pg in Simmons
He plays with jerami grant and anfernee Simon’s. His touches are going to be low 🤣🤣🤣 they don’t trust him yet. He will grow into a good player, it’s just going to take some time
Blazers should have kept dame and traded scoot for a star. His stock was so high after being drafted. Dame was loyal to portland for so long. If scoot just becomes a below average starter, portland really messed up
Portland wasn’t winning a ring with Dame no matter what they did. Neil Olshey had overpaid too many bad players. Trading that 3rd pick or Scoot wouldn’t have brought in an all star. And even if it did, that doesn’t mean Portland wins a title. They made the right decision. And Scoot is developing really well just slower than people expected.
I had Scoot comped to Michael Kid Gilchrist but I thought he would the one who would fix his shot and develop around that raw athletic ability especially on defense but I think Portland is the wrong place for him to develop because their entire culture is negative and will remove the drive to be successful out of every player that puts on a Blazers uniform.
Bro what? Portland had the longest playoff streak of any team until 2021. Then injuries to Dame and others sent them into tank mode where they still sit today. You talk about Portland like they’re Orlando, Detroit or Charlotte 😂
The thing is he's born rich. Usually, guys with same talent but born poor are the ones who becomes great. Scoot is fine, he does not need to work but is actually gainfully employed.
BRONNY JAMES HAS BEEN SET UP FOR SUCCESS WHAT KIND OF BS IS THIS LBJ SR SINCE KOBE BRYANT HAS RETIRED & LBJ SR HAS BECOME THE FACE OF THE NBA HAS BEEN FREE FALLING & IT WILL FOR SOMETIME I CANT WAIT TO MLB STARTS BACK AGAIN NO CAPPING
Scoot should have taken his behind to college and actuality learned how to play basketball. Trust me he would have been better off. Its the best training grown for young prospects. All that insane hype and the kid couldn't even play. Definitely has talent, %100. But he was nowhere near ready for the NBA
Chauncey is a great PG and player but a shit coach in terms of player development and formation and guidance. Scoot can still blossom with the right coach.
Scoot's a bum. The blazers have two solid young guards. Sharpe/ Simmons. There is no room for Scoot, and he should be traded for whatever the Blazers can get for him while he still has any value.
Imagine if the Lakers traded Kobe because he struggled his first 2 years 😂 you don’t trade a 20 year old point guard with ridiculous upside and that is showing signs of good development 😂
Lmao @ greatest nba tragedy ever - but it seems if he puts the work in he will be fine - 20 yr old w/ no discipline & lavking inpiulse control is a bad combo to become a great pro athlete in their sport ( idk either way if scoot is like that - ijs not a good combo 🤷
Who else remembers all of the so-called basketball geniuses and experts trashing and giving Charlotte hell for picking Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson?
I remembered being clowned because I preferred Miller over Scoot to go to the Hornets
Didn't Miller get drafted before Scoot?
@@florida1289exactly what he said.
@@florida1289That's the point. People were clowning hornets for picking Miller at 2 instead of Scoot
@BLACKSTA361If you look back too, fit wouldn’t have worked with LaMelo regardless. Even if Scoot hit his peak, they’re both ball-dominant PGs. Same reason Warriors passed on Melo with Steph being there. Miller actually looks like a better player than Scoot too.

This happens every time people put unrealistic expectations on players
That’s like comparing the average person like Elvis Presley their is only 1 Elvis Presley

Higher usage rate than bron in the G
He's a good player. But doesn't have an outside shot.
I mean he’s making improvements, he’s only 20 and still has a lot of time for growth
He will be fine. Maybe not generational, but can still be a star in this league
Meanwhile Amen Thompson dominating
Yup, he could grow 5 inches.
He just needs to be allowed to play full minutes and allowed to figure it out.
He average 14 and 5 in 28mins that’s tough for a 19yr old.
exactly, defuq is with the waved bs on the thumbnail?
He’s actually a decent player, Chauncey Billups has made that team dysfunctional this season.
Ain’t anyone on that roster putting up numbers.
Shoooting like 38% overall
@@NoName-yn5bh His efficiency is way up this season. Playin like a future all star right now
Anthony Bennett rubbing his hands like birdman now 😂

This is absurd. It is his second year and only 20 years old.
the problem is he is being measured on the same standard as wemby.
He’s still so young still he has time to turn this around. He should definitely hire Chris “Lethal Shooter” Matthews. He’d benefit with working with a defensive specialist as well.
if he wants to succeed at pg, he may actually need to lay off the weights and reduce his bulk by shedding around 20lbs so he can increase his speed
Scoots main strength is his speed..
Scoot and Cade are absolute role players. They cannot lead a franchise.
Cade and Scoot are not in the same echelon as players. 😂 & Yes, Cade has shown he's not a number one option yet. Team situation really matters.
Scoot is more like Colby White needs a few years and just a little extra time. Might get cheap at the end of his contract like White, he will improve

Ignite also broke Kai Sotto
I say Ignite gave millions to Green, Scoot and Kuminga by preparing them to be top 6 picks.
Gotta shoot 38%+ from 3.
That’s more important than ANY stat in the modern NBA.
It happens a lot when you're in a bad situation

Good video! New Sub here!
Awesome thank you!
He's looking better than most of the rookies in the 2024 draft class.
More power to your channel
I think he could still be like a better Jalen Suggs with more playmaking he just has to find his role
Scoot Henderson to the Heat
Chauncey could be the perfect coach for him. He had a slow start to his career as well
I had him as my ROTY man lol
Would the G league be considered better or worse competition than Division 1 NCAA Basketball? As odd as it seems, I believe it's worse. That being said, I think Scoot would have benefited from 1 or 2 years of college basketball
