2764921, I think people are sleeping on Scoot a bit.

I realize Victor is Victor, and the chances he doesn't go #1 are very thin... but Scoot's the sort of dude I'd take #1 in a lot of drafts, including in 2022. He was notably better than Jalen Green in the G-League... and was a full year behind Jalen Green when he took the G-League court. Putting up that level efficiency against *the G-League* when you're supposed to be a high school senior is... just bonkers.

There are very few prospects from the last few years that I'd have taken over Scoot in a draft.

Maybe Scoot flops this year or something, who knows, a lot can go down in the next twelve months... but I've no reason to believe he's going to be anything but awesome in the G-League next year as an 18-year-old, which makes me think he's a multi-year All-Star The Dude On A Winning Team type guard.
