Scotty Hopson

[BigOrangePassion1]

He was an overrated prospect and has struggled with consistency and other parts of his game. Its time to drop the unrealistic expectations. He will never be a great player but he is a valuable part of the team

I disagree with that. Those rankings are based on talent, which Hopson has loads of. That's why it's so disappointing that he hasn't been able to play to his talent level.

He has all the talent necessary to be great. It appears to be mental toughness with Hopson that is in question.

Other than His athletic ability I dont see this great talent.

He has the potential to be an elite scorer. He can shoot, he can drive. He has the potential to be an excellent defender. He is an amazing athlete. He has excellent quickness for his size.

Unfortunately, he plays like a pansy and is lazy, so it cancels out the potential.

he is athletic and long. Those are essentially THE NBA pre-reqs.

He is athletic as hell and has great length.

It's never been a talent issue with him.

The fact he's a mental midget at times is the issue.

He can shoot? I havent noticed

You have to be able to do more than that to be great at the college or pro level.

Judging by your posts on this board, this isn't surprising.

Oh ok. I noticed they are staying at the Wynn. Not too shabby.

Not too shabby at all. Stayed at the Encore last year which is right next door and thoroughly enjoyed it.

How does it compare to the Wynn? I heard it is like the Wynn on steroids, if that's possible.

Hes actually a well below average jump shooter. But hey leave it to you to say hes good.

Haven't stayed in the Wynn but it's my understanding the difference is minimal. All of the Encore's rooms are suites which is great. It's aimed at your bigger players as well. Regardless, I doubt you could go wrong with either.

You're the same person that stated that Chris Lofton was more talented than Hopson, correct?

Trying to logically reason with BOPassion is akin to trying to fish for trout in a cow pasture.

No he isn't and he's fantastic with the tough teardrops and floaters. He

You think hes is not a good jump shooter? Wonder how hes lead the team in scoring? Hes has all the ability needed to be great, he just needs to be more aggressive and consistent.

His bad jump shooting saved us from being swept by Florida. Good thing it sucked so much, or else we would have lost.
