Scoring

Mike Scott can provide a team with pure offense, and he’s more than capable of doing so in a hurry. The 26-year-old can make jump shots, score in the post, and get to the rim for athletic layups and explosive dunks.

Scott’s style of play would provide any team with a versatile and dynamic scoring option off the bench.

Last season, Scott averaged 18.6 points per 36 minutes for Atlanta. He did so shooting 47.9 percent from the field and 78 percent from the free throw line. Scott can also get very hot from deep, as highlighted by his Game 5 performance against the Indiana Pacers, where he had 17 points including making five of his six 3-point attempts.
