Summer League Thread Part 3: Aug 11 GS @8pm TSN 4

All the hot takes here from 1 half of a summer league game

We know it’s summer league so the stats don’t matter.

It’s the eye test

You can’t even make a legit take by the eye test right now. We all knew Scottie is raw and will need development. Shot is already showing growth

And he’s been parked in the corner and barely had the ball. The team is showcasing the scrubs for the 905 and seeing what the other guys can do. You really can’t judge Scottie off of that half

[Inevitable]

The FO need to get their head out of the sands and realize just length and defensive potential are not the only thing to build a team. You need some freaking players who can shoot and create offense.

Norm’s dynamic offense is going to be missed IMO

Masai chasing all these Giannis clones when he is one of a kind and can't be duplicated.

We really took a project @ the 4th pick looool

Not gonna lie…This is a bit terrifying after watching Suggs this afternoon

At this point Suggs is a far superior basketball player, Its that simple. The hope is that Barnes can pass him 2-3 years down the road but its a pretty big risk (one i didnt think we needed to take persoanlly)

Yeah I said that mostly based on what I saw out of Suggs this afternoon. I know Scottie has insane potential but Suggs is already one of my favorite players to watch in the league

[DonDoolie]

We aren't using Barnes right on offense. He's had a mismatch the whole second quarter but no one gave him the ball. **** players need to know they are **** and give the ball up

[Yeezus_]

Barnes looked fantastic in the second half of game one and I knew he was the right pick

Then I watched Suggs play and he was fantastic and I knew we drafted poorly

Now I watched Barnes play another half and I’m certain he’s a bust

Making these conclusions after two SL games, nice rationale.

[will]

Stop dwelling on Suggs you weirdos… we have Barnes

Those same cats still dwelling on that first broad from high school.

Or its likely they are still in highschool.

I can’t be the only guy who hates Doris right?

[NBA48mins]

Dang moses moody micd up sounds like a leader like barnes

[tdotrep2]

Scottie Barnes reminds me of Dennis Rodman more than Draymond Green. With Draymond everything goes through him He controls his team's offense as well as defense.

i mean, they making him sit in the corner will banton or johnson run at the rim and throw up a shot.

[Jcity08]

Yeah this board has no lack of overreactions and dumb takes.

[State of Kawhii]

bring dat 0-6 Malachi lol

[Mikistan]

Say bully ball again Doris

[OakleyDokely]

For the record, future hall of famer Suggs is 15-35 from the floor in summer league.

[Fast_Feets]

Banton's point guard skills just super soft. His passess are so fluffy and without purpose. Weak point guard skills. We really gonna regret not taking Jericho Sims

[simple_jack]

i dont know why people are so down on barnes right now. i honestly thought scottie looked good in the offensive touches he had. got to the rim twice and drew fouls both times. Had a nice pass after an offensive rebound. Made a corner3.

It’s Raptors fans in general. They are so bipolar and over-reactionary. Also, the Suggs fans are poking their head back out to say “I told you so”. If Barnes goes for 16 points next game, they’ll slither back under their bed.

Nah man. I want Barnes to do well. I really do. I think he’ll be good for our team and he’s a vocal guy. But I don’t think he’s the type of player you take top 4 in a loaded draft

[RapsAndJays21]

20 point Scottie half coming.

And by the end of the next half your gonna start praying to him.

Barnes could not play less like Dennis Rodman

GS is a good team, a fight was expected.
