Scott is a quick and tenacious guard that has played a big part in the recent success of Booker T Washington. Has changed games off the bench with hustle and defensive intensity. Often picks up full court and makes the opposition work just to bring it up the court. While also ending up with his share of steals too. Shouldn’t be slept on as a shooter either. Type of guard who sacrifices a bit of personal production, in order to ensure the team is winning. Which has paid off with one ring for Scott and potentially another this season.

lit up the scoreboard with some impressive scoring displays, tallying 24 points, 26 points, and a weekend high of 34 points. As an opportunistic scorer with a strong basketball IQ, Scott proved to be explosive with the ball in his hands while also displaying patience and poise as a playmaker. His versatility was evident as he showcased shot-making ability from all three levels of the court while letting the game come to him, making him a potent threat in crunch time. Scott’s hot streak in the second-half stretched the lead to the point of no return. Ankle-breaking handles and elusive crossovers, he put defenders on skates, even dropped a few to the floor. Scott consistently left defenders grasping at air as he maneuvered his way to the basket. His ability to navigate traffic and finish with finesse, particularly with his dominant right hand, made him a constant scoring threat. With a combination of shifty moves, shaky crossover, killer in-and-out, good hip swivels, and pounds the ball with a purpose as he penetrates low. Scott proved to be a nightmare for opposing defenses to contain all weekend.
