I think he's a more explosive athlete than a guy like Moutier is.
But, you know, it never worked out for Emmanuel Moutier.
Now, I will sayโ
Yeah, there are a lot of reverse layups and stuff around the rim when you would like to see dunks or fouls drawn and all of that.
I will say, other than Jason Kidd, who's obviously in a category all of his own in the names you just mentioned,
I do think Scoot is a better passer than any of those guys.
He's a pretty instinctual passer.
Now, he's a little bit wild, and it's harder for bad jump shooters to access all the passes in their bag because they just don't open up.
But he can sling it with both hands.
He's a pretty slick pocket passer, and he throws the kind of passes...
that catch the defense on the wrong foot.
Like he will hit a shooter in the opposite corner when that guy's defender is still rotating into the paint.
Like he throws it early.
Now, sometimes he throws it too hard.
Like there's a lot of mustard on his passes and a lot of his interior passes get dropped because it's like, dude, I'm just two feet away from you.
You don't have to Randy Johnson.
He will rocket those.
But he, his, and so it's hard to sort of,
find a pattern within the wildness of his passes.
But there are some that he throws where you're like, he saw that early and he gave that guy an advantage.
