His problem is consistency and mindset. He needs to believe he’s the best player on the court and stop deferring to his teammates all the time

To be fair though, all he did was make two low % shots and get fouled

I saw tough shot making, defensive presence and playmaking

The rebound and assist to Quick for the 3, all in one motion?? No one else on this team can make that kind of play

IQ would be really good if the team could shoot 3s, he creates 3 almost exclusively. Really biased toward passing it to the perimeter vs middle.

Wasn't he originally a PG?


he said that to try & get his size point across, he couldn't tell you what school Scottie went to

Everyone looks good tbh.


This is an awful wizards team and we don't really look good at all. Should be up 20 the way the wiz are playing.

I'm begging Scottie Barnes to get a paint field goal this preseason. Just one.

I hope that we aren’t married to Shead as the backup point guard truly outplays him. I’m not saying we give up on him but if he needs to work on his game in the g league, there is no shame in it.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I'm sick bruh. Scottie made 2 low percentage shots and people think he's playing good
