:question: So Dickie V is saying he's the 3rd best swingman in the country

 

[etmVol]

Past play may not have warranted such a high preseason pick, but hopefully he will play up to his potential and have an AA caliber season.

:whatever:

 

[Special Ed]

It's only Dick Vitale's opinion. Vitale lost his relevance at least 10 years ago.

 

[Vol Mania 21]

dickie v has obviously gone nuts in his old age

 

[Glutton]

Who is that?

And his glasses, obviously

has the potential to be 3rd team AA.

Yeah, I think Scotty is going to have a great season, hes really working hard for the NBA.

 

[BasketvolsFan]

If only he could live up to this rating.

 

[Vol Mania 21]

has the potential to be 3rd team AA.

but does he live up to his potential is the thing

He clearly hasn't so far. Hopefully this season will be different.:clapping:

 

[VOLNBAMA]

but does he live up to his potential is the thing

i doubt it but most pre-season lists are based on potential. Has to improve his dribbling before anything else.

scotty is goin to have a breakout year... imo

i agree with you but it may not be totally apparent in the scoring category.... i think you will see him make better decisions and play with more desire and fire... but i think with the addition of harris, the improvement of williams in the paint and tatum on the outside and a deep bench you won't see his scoring numbers go up dramatically maybe 15 or 16 ppg

Scotty has shown us what he can be a dynamic basketball player, he just doesn't do it consistently.

Consistency comes with experience and practice :good!:

Maturity as well, except in DeMarcus Cousins' case.

I lol'd that's true though

 

[lylsmorr]

If Hop averages 16 PPG, we go to the Final Four.

Agreed.
