Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 35909, member: 569"] Scoop was a first year starting PG last season for a team that any one of us could have told you before the season started would struggle offensively to create shots. We had problems with our outside shooting (which is why JB gave James chance after chance over CJ), Fab and Baye were non factors offensively, Kris and Brandon struggled to be effective drivers/creators, Rick was efficient but limited, Dion was erratic and shot very poorly from deep, James was great twuice and not good enough the rest of the time and CJ was a great garbage man and crafty slasher. Thats the team that Scoop was running it wasn't a great offensive team and struggled to find shots in the half court. He didn't have a automatic post up guy in AO or lights out shooters in Wes and Andy. Teams didn't have to respect our perimeter guys shots nor did they really have to colapse on any of our bigs. All things considered I think Scoop had a pretty good 1st season as a starting PG and believe me he had me yelling at the TV more than any of the other players. I thought he tried to do way too much at key moments but at least he tried. Say what you want but Brandon and Kris often passed up shots in those important moments while Scoop was at least un afraid to fail. I don't think he will be in taht same situation this season. I expect Brandon and Kris to be more assertive, I expect CJ and Dion to be able to creat good shots for themselves and others when we need that sort of thing. I expect Kris, Scoop, Brandon and Dion to all shoot it better from the perimeter. I think Baye and Fab will improve although I have no idea if they will provide a viable inside threat. I expect Scoop ti imporve but also the pieces around him to perform better and make him look better while doing so. [/QUOTE]
