Yeah, Scottie's having himself a season but tbf this team only really been playing like this the last few games, after the trades and all the new players starting to gel. But now we're getting a preview of Masai n Bobby's vision
that pass at 2:10 is why he is a jumper or real scoring game away from being a superstar. If he can bend the defense as a scorer and have teams sending help his processing speed is so special for his size he is gonna pick teams apart. I wish he was on the warriors playing next to steph or any elite guard who can create advantages for him in his early years he currently is a way better offensive draymond. Raptors need to find him a guard.
I'll be honest, when the raptors traded away Siakam and Anunoby to build around Scottie Barnes, I was skeptical and thought they had bet on the wrong horse. Whenever Toronto played my Celtics, I never remember SB standing out in any way. I always viewed Siakam as their most talented forward. Looking at that stat line and these clips has me thinking I was wrong. Maybe Scottie just needed the keys to the car to show what he can do. He certainly has the size and athletic ability to play well. Looking at some of the passes in this clip makes it clear he has the skill level and floor vision too. How's his outside shot? I haven't looked but in today's game that can make or break a player. In any case, more good stuff. Well done.
Yea Scottie has taken a leap this szn and a bigger one since the trades. He hasn’t killed the Cs historically but he had one good one against us this year. Outside shot isn’t gr8 yet he shoots about 35% from 3 and 43% from the midrange. Glad you enjoyed
It's only the beginning of his outside shooting. Remember, he was called a zero level scorer on draft night. He has come a long way in 2 1/2 years. Imagine another 2 years of development. I'm not saying he's gonna be, but go look at his stats. They are very similar to jokic on his third year. Still a long way to go, but the path his there. Plus defense 😬
yeah lots of promise for barnes - they are building the right personel to put around him -he can honestly do everything - which makes it a blessing and also challenging to decide what players to put around him, he's a lockdown defender, great playmaker, great rebounder. I think mostly the raps needed shooting and scoring to play along side him which you see they got with trading for IQ and RJ
He's honestly a true Point Guard. People just say 'point forward' because of his size. But his skills and the way he plays are legitimately like a point guard, not a forward who initiates sometimes.
Personally I think he is a point forward. He doesn't have the handles of a point guard to properly run things from the perimeter consistently but he does have the height and strength to run it from high or low post, top of the key and with straight downhill movement. No point guard can do what Scottie can do with his back to the defender and the basket especially in the paint. It's a net positive Imo.
@@mihsko6687 you guys are both right imo and it just signifies how versatile Scottie is. I do agree that his handle is what keeps him from actual PG status. Still erratic in that area sometimes but the vision and understanding of the game as a passer is great
A few lean years ahead but the Raps have some nice pieces. Grady Dick has begun to settle in as well. A few high IQ up-and-comers on TO. Appreciate your passion and analysis brother.

Very nass. After Scottie was drafted, there was some talk about his Magic Johnson qualities. Sounded crazy then, not so crazy now.
pretty sure he said he watched game tape of magic in an interview

These new-look Raptors are fun to watch. Lots of fast break points. It’s good usage of incorporating the mouse cursor into the analysis.

Preciate you!
Amazing video, brother. If you post more raptors videos like this, your channel will pop.
Love the video bro, would love to see more of Scottie's scoring which you talked about later in the video
Great video! Scottie has a big future as the face of this franchise
Yes he does

This gotta be the fastest rebuild ever
Love the analysis. Really informative and interesting.
Thank you !

I was gonna title the video that honestly but he is an actual forward so that’s why lmao. But yes he is very point guard esque

Plays almost all his minutes at guard, and is listed as a G-F. At FSU he was exclusively a guard. He's a point guard whose forward esque. @@niknba
