Admin capstone21 Posted October 31, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 This is probably what it prompting the Ryan Kelly signing but with Moose and Hump I think we have the backup PF covered ... lets get a veteran backup point guard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Millsap or Dwight gets in foul trouble that leaves us thin at both spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Injury stuff and legal stuff equals confusing and just what the heck is going to happen in the next four weeks? Tiago is a big part of that question as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bud would play Scott with Dwight and Millsap with Moose since he has Hump's rump on the bench. Just more available rotations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't like the NCAA where the Hawks will have to forfeit games if he plays if found 'ineligible'. (Well guilty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Well guilty) True. Have they reported anything about him having practiced, rehabbed, etc.? If not, he's probably not close to returning regardless of the supposed 4-week timeframe.

He has but Scott is more talented offensively. Moose has been playing his role well but I just don't see him as an impact player. Scott isn't a 6th man candidate but has the potential to go off offensively in any given game. Since we don't have many of those types of players I'll take what i can get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunt91 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I could have sworn I saw Mike Scott shooting around with the team before the Pacers game. The camera was on him for just a brief moment. He wasn't in a Hawks uniform just regular shorts and a Warmup Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how well Moose has been playing lately, I don't see Scott overtaking him, he might eat some of his mins away though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree but I think they are different players. Moose is playing all around good ball but his offense is knocking down wide open jumpers. But that's just about everyone on the team. Scott can at least get his shot off with a hand in his face and has some explosiveness to the rim. His numbers may not look as good as Moose this season but he's more of a threat on offense IMO.

Scott can also post up smaller players. he ca be effective if he is patient, when he hurries it's ugly. Scott did say last night he is day to day, so hopefully he is back soon.
