How would you feel about scottie if his offence doesn’t improve next season?
in the playoffs scottie looked like the player we’ve all been hoping he’d become and i felt much stronger in my belief that he’s capable of being a great scorer if he just asserts himself more rather than playing passive.
now some of scottie’s playoff performance was definitely an outlier, like i don’t expect him to shoot 38% from 3, but the main things i expect/want to see from him is again asserting himself into the offence, more driving with aggression, an average/slightly below average 3pt shot, better ball handling, and the ball in his hands more in general.
scottie reaching a new level offensively is important in terms of raising the ceiling of this team and giving us more to build off of, it’s not just a matter of 20+ ppg being a nice number. whether he improves or not he’s still a top 15 player in this league, if it really was just a fluke and next season he’s still the same player he won’t be in the hot seat for me but it’ll definitely be disappointing. thoughts?
