it makes sense for winning minutes and games in the short term, but probably doesn't make the most sense for the future

it's a very one note approach right now
But, extremely nice to see Scottie harnessing his, in my opinion, elite touch (which could be identified by his post hook/push shot proficiency in year 1) and finding something to combat defenses fav coverage against him

ultimately, he's getting reps in on a vital counter that he will need his whole career, and it has the potential -- if he gets good enough at it -- for it to become a vessel for playmaking from the middle

currently, the double frequency is really low, and the most aggressive teams will get is with a dig
And that means that Scottie isn't playmaking from here very often - but, the hope is that he's laying down groundwork right now for the future

lately Scottie hasn't really used this as a counter, moreso as the bulk of his shot diet, and that's going to come with a dip in efficiency unless you're Kevin Durant
right now he's trying to convince the NBA that this is a shot to be feared

this is really important, because the most effective defense against Scottie has always been the switch and sticking a bigger body on him and leaning on his relative lack of creative handle and burst from a standstill
even though he's shooting 43% against bigs, still good dev

a lot of these possessions aren't coming by way of post touches, but when Scottie is initiating from ATB and has to beat a switch, that's why there's such a high frequency of shots over bigs
