I'd like to see him get healthy first. We know what he is, an undersized scoring guard. Like Scottie, he's a player with limitations. Kind of the reverse of what we have in Barnes, who is much more compelling defensively than offensively.

Same same with Scottie, I'd like to see how we deploy him and what he looks like with health and what should be our improved environment before judging too much. And we aren't even sure what our opening-day roster will be, there's a lot of questions floating around about, say, RJ and whether he'll be on the roster or not. And what Quick will look like with or without a Giannis-type player running the show would be very different.

I hope it’s Barnes as well. His focus and intensity is on and off. He only appears to look like a superstar during the 4th quarter. However, I hope he can give his team a lift for 2-3 quarters every game because they need him desperately if they are going to raise their ceiling. If Barnes gets 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists regularly then he’s not a superstar but a consistent all-star player.
