How many times did Scoop do any of this not coming off the pick and roll?  Seems like 90% of his drives were off a pick set up by Fab, most of which Scoop blew off the screen and took it between defenders. 
 
I also don't understand how you can state that Triche doesn't have the toughness and MCW does.  First off, we haven't seen MCW do that in regular minutes in a BE season, and his thin body has to be a worry if you think he's going to be an attack first PG.  He sure as heck isn't built like a Chris Paul.  Secondly, Triche is.  He's far stronger than MCW at this point.  He's so big that he got way too many charges called against him - half of which were bullshit. 
 
What is comes down to is that I think you and are pretty set in our opinions - which is fine.  I never liked Scoop.  Even when he was winning games, his style of play irked the  out of me. Even in one of his highlight videos posted on youtube, I found fault with him not finding open guys (not just Triche) that would have led to easier buckets.  The only thing I ever truly appreciated about Scoop is the fact that he could finish at the rim, without ever playing over the rim.  If he got within a couple feet, he was going to make the layup.  That was a true talent. 
 
I hope MCW is everything you think he will be. I personally am hoping he is that pass first PG you've been selling that is stout enough to do everything expected of him and make it through his soph season without an injury.  And I hope Brandon gets his chance to show off everything that he can do.
