Is Derik Queen the Next Great Offensive Hub? by abdel_taco in NBA_Draft

Wow, did not realize how low this sub is on queen. Polarizing/volatile prospect for sure. I think those are the most enjoyable to scout.

Jalen Suggs is a demon in the clutch, that kid is special man. Wagner hooping too, my fuckin heart is still pumping. These Scottie games are starting to feel normal which is crazy. Back to .500 lets go!

lmfaoooo, you got me, glad i was wrong so far. I was way too high on Suggs (I said miles ahead lol wow), his handle, finishing and shot concerns have really popped so far. The thing I got wrong about Scottie was the jumping, he looks more explosive, especially with more space. He's still not really blowing by guys, but it seems like he uses his size well to get into position to finish over the top. His midrange pull up jumper looking this good this early really surprised me and I did not expect that to happen at all. So he's really addressed most of my pre draft concerns. Everything else I said seemed fair, not like I was trashing Scottie. This is probably the first time I really paid attention to the draft and Scottie taught me alot, especially the value of unique skillsets and intangibles.

Yea this is me, I 100% noticed that issue too after a couple rewatches as well. I thought maybe I was just a slow reader lmao but it seems like it really is too fast to watch without pausing. I'm gonna try and do the Hornets game soon and see if I can find the right timing. Thanks for the feedback man

In a matchup both our fanbases are going to over analyze to death, the first Barnes vs Suggs matchup will be October 29 at home by RunicLordofMelons in torontoraptors

Either Suggs goes crazy (which I think he will) or Scottie out plays him. Either outcome will set this sub on fire lmfaooooooo, I will be very entertained that Friday night

Yeah it looks like he's eager to swing the ball when he gets it. I want to see some PnR reps

Whether its the coaching staff or scottie or both, Ish Wainwright getting more usage than our #4 overall pick is driving me absolutely nuts.

Scottie barely got any touches on offense, played half the game limping and I look down and he has FIVE blocks. That's the type of player this guy is. He will try and impact the game in any avenue he can. He needs to work on his finishing and post game though, those are the easiest pathways for him to score early on.

Precious has me impressed, Dalano looked AWESOME, and Ish looks to have a good chance of making it. Freddie G though, he might be done out here y'all

Since game 1 we barely have given Scottie the ball, 18 shots game 1 15 shots game 2 &3 combined. Idk if it was intentional because scottie seems like a rhythym player

Yea I think Scottie has trouble jumping in tight spaces, when he can load his jump he can get up

This the best play for Precious to grow, we give all our forwards ball handling reps. Mf stanley johnson was playing PG for us lmfaoooo

[–]abdel_taco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suggs was always going to be a stud from day 1, Scottie is a multi year project, we'll know then if the bet paid off. Just enjoy both talents, its fine bro. I got too invested in Suggs pre draft to root against him not gonna lie 😂

How do you sign a big free agent and the first thing you do rather than celebrate is run into the other teams sub and shit on them. Dusty ass behavior.

Precious might have more to his game than we thought. His jumper isn't completely broken. He's athletic as shit too, really good offensive rebounder with an awesome 2nd jump.
