NBA - Main

Looked like little more than a tweak with the ankle. Should be fine with five days before the regular season start.

As said by the rest of you, Scottie looks great in large part because he's really just playing more assertive. He's playing meaner and he's more engaged in the halfcourt....and the Raps are making it a point to push in transition. They got a dude to really do that with quarterbacking the offense in Schroder, we know he's gonna push it, but Scottie himself, Pascal, OG...they're pushing in transition and getting easy baskets.

They ran a weave action play to get Scottie downhill and he exploited a mismatch with Muscala on him for a bucket, he's gonna have the ball in his hands a lot more this season and actions like these allow Scottie to use his size and coordination to get to the basket. The shot definitely looks cleaner too...he's looking like a guy who's taken a real leap this offseason and he's looking like a guy who's gonna thrive playing in an offense with more pace, more fluidity and getting more touches with the ball. Without Fred, he's gonna be shouldering a much bigger load as a ballhandler this season and so far the returns have been good.
