he just needs to get better hands. its a long off season and thats all he needs to work on along with bulking up. John bryant had to loose a bunch of weight in order to play and thompson should gain at least 20. he is a good replacement for john, but the hands and weight need to get better.

Although I'd like to see Scott get bigger and stronger, I think that his primary focus should be stamina and conditioning. As I understand it, KK wants to do more of a run-and-gun type offense (ghosts of Westhead and LMU?) and a 3/4 court defense, if that is true, he is going to be running a lot and he is going to be expected to get a lot of offensive rebounds. Didn't he have a history of some injuries, too? I seem to remember that he had problems with his foot. This makes conditioning even more important. I do agree, his hands need to get softer like John's, and he needs to be ready to get the feeds on the run in the up-tempo full court offense. -b
