With the 4th Pick, the Raptors select Scottie Barnes! Part 2

[LoveMyRaps]

Barnes is gonna be a rich mans Giannis.

Yup.

[Basketball_Jones]

J Kidd has coached Luka and Giannis. He knows what he’s talking about even if he’s a subpar coach

[720]

The two best rookies in the top 8 so far. (Cade still injured) We all know Barnes’ assist, steal and block numbers will go up eventually but man oh man both guys have been impressive.

They gotta hand him more responsibilities if he keeps this up 10-15 games in.

He’s getting these stats off pure hustle and will lol. His assists should be way higher than it is.

[vulture]

There is no doubt he’s been the team’s best player for 3 games now. Just look at the off/on metrics.

The team just needs pascal to return to make the playoffs this year.

He would have gotten double digit assists game one if the team wasnt building a brick house.

Did Kidd say something about Barnes?

Said he’s a star in the making, if not already a star

Did Kidd say something about Barnes?

"He's really really good," said Kidd, who was listed among the top 75 players in NBA history earlier in the week. "He causes a problem on both ends of the floor and he knows how to play the game and he's gonna be a star in this league if he's not already a star. He loves to play the game. Watching him on tape you would think that he's been in a league three or four years. So it's very impressive what he's done early on in his career."

Mobley is such a stud. Way better than I what I thought he'd be in his rookie year. Same with Scottie.

[Yeezus_]

Generational talent, not many guys his size can do what he does. Giannis/Durant/Simmons/James/Doncic and a few others, but Barnes looks so poised and control of everything he does, there isn't telling what his ceiling will be. What scouts and others projected him to be 4 years from now, he's that right now. Could be a testament to his work ethic and character. Watching him handle the ball, find dimes like Jason Kidd and just grab rebounds like Shawn Marion is enough for me to say this dude will give every team problems. He never looks "rattled" looks ready to move onto the next play. What's amazing about him is his food speed and how far his strides are which I under the Giannis comparisons. what guy's are use to defending, Barnes amplifies that because he covers so much ground on the floor, so in one dribble Barnes is already in position to score.

Barnes is hitting long range shots comfortably....it's a runaway for ROY because no one will come close to Barnes. I'm a big Duarte fan and hes a great shooter/scorer, but Barnes does it all and clearly is impactful not only on both ends but he brings a unique energy being one of the most complex basketball talents we've seen in a while. Barnes seems like the easiest player to build around in this draft because he addresses so many needs. Now he's shooting? Health is the only thing that can get in Barnes way.

Mobley has been a monster in his first 3 games too. Even has the defensive stats to show.

[WigginsNation]

Barnes will be more impactful and a better overall pro than Mobley IMO simply because he’s with us. Our development team will do wonders with his skillset

Mobley will probably win it tbh. Barnes's usage will nose dive once Pascal is back.

[Madhouse]

Nurse was right that he has got to drive more to the basket and be more aggressive. When he does he usually scores.

The assists, steals and blocks will come in time.

He needs more help from his team mates. Over 80% of his field goals unassisted. Gotta help the rook out.

I need to watch him more, but Mobley still seems to float a lot. Just more passive than Scottie is.

[XTC]

The team is +26 with Barnes on the floor

Such a night and day difference when hes on the floor. I was pro Scottie, but even I didn't expect this.

Of all the possible offseason trades swirling around Siakam this year, the talk of the Cavs giving up their pick for win-now moves was the most enticing.

Still wonder if a Siakam + FVV for their garbage + Mobley would have done it. They obviously don't do it now, but wonder what Masai was dangling as he obviously talked with all of these teams.

[Arman_tanzarian]

Mobley looking like a young KG out there.

[WuTang_CMB]

Aside from Barnes amazing physique and skill, he also is way ahead of his draft class and really knows how to play. That to me been most impressive.
