Speaking of Scoot, though, third pick in the draft, had the best half of basketball

this side of Jabari Smith in the

2020s Summer League. He is special. He is an athletic freak. He can pass like a man possessed.

He is just throwing laser beams, no looks behind the back passes. He's cutting to the rim.

He's in 21 minutes.

He let everyone know what was what. He is a star. He hit a three, a couple of good middies,

and more importantly, he finished really well at the rim, consistently beat the number four pick Aymann Thompson off the dribble. He pressured the Rockets guards and transition.

While they were collapsing,

to cut off easy buckets, he was incredible. And then, of course, you know, because I'm a Blazer fan,

and I can't have nice things, he hurt his shoulder. They thought he separated it, actually.

They thought he dislocated his fucking shoulder in Summer League in the first half.

And guess what?

That's exactly what happened to Shaden Sharp.

He tore his labrum in the first quarter of the first game in Summer League a year ago.

So whatever, it's fine.

But I can't wait to see Shaden and Scoot together because Shaden looks much better when Scoot is on the floor.

In game two, Shaden didn't look nearly as impressive, but these two are going to have an electric season.

Speaking of the Thompson Twins, hold me now because I'm very sad that I did not get to see them battle it out on the floor.

They have never been separated for more than a few days.

They've never played against each other at a real level.

And Amon and Osir were supposed to square up in this battle to split the zygote, you know what I mean?
