@@ezypeazyy that's actually a really good point, confidence in your own shot and the confidence of the training staff are some of the most important factors for shooters, it doesn't get talk about often. also willingness to take shot at a higher volume is more valuable to a team than efficiency because it affects how teams will cover you a lot more. we both hoping for the best about him, i just don't want everyone to over sell it.

To anyone saying scoot is the future cornerstone. He will be important, but sharp is going to be our next superstar. Scott will be the russ and sharp will be the Durant. The kid just has it. He is going to be great. How great is get to be seen. I sat shae's floor is Brandon Ingram (which would be low) and his ceiling is as high as Durant. Remember, kobe didn't show greatness on the floor his first year, and sharp barley played in his second year but already made a huge jump

I think as of now his comp would be a Rudy Gobert type an elite defender and rebounder but not a good shooter outside of the post. The thing is he has good form and is still so young that if it develops he becomes more of a lethal weapon. But what I hope the most and dont see is the next Meyers Leannord or Zach Collins type but lets just hope for the best and for good health.

@@KOrnhOliO1 I was interested in the comments in the press conference about how the Blazers were pleased and surprised that Clingan has a nice outside shot, that he was never asked to do within the UConn system. That has been some of the criticism with this pick, but if he can be an occasional reliable 35% 3 point shooter, then this pick goes beyond good into a steal, and gets back to when he was projected as the number 1 pick. I like that the Blazers are getting big again.
