More palatable when the team is winning and many American media outlets are talking about him for All-Defensive.

Defense has been elite, passing has been elite, his mid-range shot looks improved and efficient, and he's a monster in the paint.

He's 22nd in the league in Win Shares, 20th in the league in Box Plus Minus, and 15th in the league in VORP...so his impact has been all-star level.

The box score doesn't reflect his true impact. If his offense was slightly better he'd be the best player on our team by very far. I'd still have him at the top now. It feels like his defense could be better utilized as a help defender. I don't love seeing him being the POA defender.

Just have to hope he shoots 35% from distance.

He's still at 38%, it shows how hot he was earlier this year.

I find it crazy how casual NBA fans love Mobley and drag Barnes through the dirt. Mobley would struggle just as bad as a first option. We saw that while they were hit with injuries.

He is our best player - I'm just saying he's best suited offensively as the #2 or #3 option...but overall in terms of impact he's our most important piece.

Since shooting 9FTs vs Indy, Scottie put up two goose eggs against Charlotte and Philadelphia

FTr at career low .211
