Could Scott be a Fred Hoiberg typle of player? I know he probably wont be as good, but i was just sitting here thinking about it. Scott can shoot(Like Fred could) and he seems to drive and dish pretty well from what i've seen in the Cap City league. Scott also has some height(I think he is 6'3) and i think he will run well in the up-tempo system. I also hear that Coach Hoiberg is in love with Scotty's game. I'm just wondering if Hoiberg is going to mold Scott into something speical. I think Fred may see a little bit of himself in Scott when he was younger. Maybe i'm crazy, but that would be amazing. :smile:
 
Watching Scott in that scrimmage before last year's Iowa game, you can see that he loves the uptempo thing. He was always looking to push the ball up the court the second it got to him. I think he can thrive in this sort of style (and he ought to end up with some open threes, which is always nice).

You could see a little bit of that in him last year when he started to create for himself later in the year. I don't think Scottie has near the strength and athleticism that Freddie had that really pushed him to the next level.

Hopefully Fred can help with this.
 
No, Fred was a phenomenal athlete that could dunk in traffic.
Haluska was close but still came up short. He could take over a game
SC may well end up being a very good player but Hoiberg was like
Ejim with a lights out jumper.

I need to know what this official definition of athletic is. IMO you can be athletic in many different ways.

SC is incredibly underrated. Look at the last part of the season when he was somewhat healthy. He was very good. He was sick for half of the season and that is why most do not consider him to be one of "the" guys. People want to automatically throw DP into the tarting line up. I say not so fast my friend. If DP decides he doesn't want to play defense or doesn't want to hustle at times, SC will be the starter. He may be anyway. In no way am I saying either of those things could happen with DP, I am just saying he isn't walking into the gym and automatically taking Scotties spot. Scotty is really our only returning and proven pure shooter. I think he needs to play quite a bit if he doesn't start.

Probably see a lot of 3 guard line-ups. I wouldn't doubt if we roll out 4 guards in some situations. Maybe we could make people adjust to our unique style for once.

With only 1 SF on the roster and Chris is predicting him to start at the 4
it's very likely we'll see a 3 guard lineup most of the time. SC needs to be
on the floor, he's the shooter that the defense has to respect.
 
Scott is a good player. Honestly I would take him over Brian Peterson. Scott looks for a shot while Brian looked to pass more than I liked. They both remind me of each other. Good smart guys that we've had.
 
Me too. Scholarship player, at 2 schools, vs. a walk-on. Not even close.
 
I'm very grateful to Scotty for his contributions and think he's been solid, but I just can't see the comparison. Sometimes I wonder if Fred's NBA career has affected how people remember his college career. Fred was such an all-around player in college who could take advantage of you in so many different ways. Sure, he had Julo and Loren to keep everyone honest, and maybe we have a couple of those in these new guys, but Fred was just so smart and opportunistic. In the pros, he was asked to be much more of a role player, and he did it well. To me, Scotty's college game is more like Fred's pro career. And I'd certainly be happy with that. That said, there's no reason to believe Fred can't help him improve. Just not sure he'll ever get Scott to his level.

I see what you're saying. SC definitely has potential, and I can see him doing well. You did say he probably won't be as good as Fred, which is completely true. He needs to be a leader and needs to be averaging 13+ pts/game.

i agree that sc is not at hoiberg's level, but sc is far from just a one trick pony. I thought he was the most aggressive player last year at being able to create dribble penetration. he is always looking to get in the mix of things and slash at the d. this did lead to a lot of turnovers, but he was definitely still a threat driving with his array of pullups and runners and his ability to drive and dish to brackins or dendy last year for the dunk. sc has a pretty sweet all around game for a guy so small and skinny. i model my own game after sc.
