Hate to change the subject, but Scoop as a leader...

[44cuse]

...just became a lot more important.

Personally, I am pretty happy to have Scoop on this team right now.

Senior.
Levity.
Leadership.
Maturity.

It's gonna make a difference this year. Certainly tonight...but definitely in hostile gyms.

So long as it doesn't come out that Scoop was banging Laurie (or is it Lori?) Fine I agree that he can be a huge asset to this year's team.

The less we hear scoops name during a game, the better we're going to be. Not that it means he isn't doing a great job, but he needs to be the spoon that mixes, not the frosting on the cake.

That was the whole point. Scoop has to get it done on the court, but what he does off of it will be potentially more valuable.

Meh, not really talking about off the court, I mean during the game, he just needs to be in control and blend in. The more a PG stands out, the more he is the offense, rather than controlling/supporting the offense. I'd take a quiet 8 and 8 than a 16-shot 15 pts and 4 assists.

But I agree with what you are saying, regardless. He seems to have grown up.

I could have done a better one.

Seniority.
Charisma.
Optimism.
Opportunist.
Perserverance.

You're right. That's a better list. Good stuff.

I don't feel Scoop is not a second scoring isolation(key word) option though, even as a PG.

Hes more of a CJ Melo threat that sneaks in and gets a basket + the guy who can hit a big three late in the game.

Dion and KJo are the two guys we can ride, and Brandon is best when hes the third scorer not the second. Without that third isolation threat we absolutely need Brandon and Scoop in there.
If Scoop shows me he can beat a good defensive PG off the dribble 80 percent of the time no matter who it is, then I will change, eat crow, and be the first to say Scoop did what I didn't think he could. I feel that could conflict with Scoop or MCW's minutes though.
But right now Scoop is more of a cut kinda guard who gets his when his matchup defender takes his guard down.
