Simply put, hes playing the game the right way. Having RJ, BI, IQ who can take the scoring burden off him is doing wonders for his game... he's playing like Scottie Barnes, and he's thriving. PER36 hes averaging 22/8/6/1.5/2... I'm loving his approach, and his defense has been fantastic.

People need to realize Scottie is naturally passive and a pass first player, which is why this pairing with BI, IQ, and RJ just works. Scottie is molding into an elite #2, who can anchor a defense. He's a complete unicorn this season, and management needs to keep surrounding him with the right pieces.

Hes been playing like an allstar, and if he keeps this up hes making an allstar, making the all defensive team, and depending on the team record he may even be All NBA. His play, demeanor, and attitude has been night and day compared to last year.

fwiw, I think this is starting to normalize with him. It was a lot worse. There's no way Scottie is among the worst paint presence in the league. It probably had to do with Jak being out and Scottie trying to make more plays while saving fouls.

Basketball reference gives him 2.4DBMP. If that rim defence number is correct. SB must be on elite level outside the restricted area.

He wasn’t doing well against Embiid, while starting center. And it is not a coincidence our points allowed are much better with a healthy Peoltl this year.

My theory is SB is an elite defender while being switch, weak side or help defender. And we should let him having that role. A rim protector like Yak is a must if we are building with SB. So we can play SB to his strengths and not his weaknesses.

Maybe this is a hot take, maybe not

If the Raptors make the playoffs this year, and Scottie keeps doing his thing, he will probably cement himself as a Top 10 Raptor all-time by season's end (if he's not already there).
