Let masai work his magic. This pick was for 2-3 years down the line and he’ll be one of the better young players in the league

We think it's a foul ball.

I wanted the Joey Bats ALDS home run swing we were all waiting for.
I’ll give Scottie the benefit of a doubt.
But if Suggs becomes a top 5 point guard in the league I’m never forgiving Masai
That was a legendary home run swing but what if Barnes becomes a top 5 player in the league?

Hope so. I really want to see him have a good rookie year and competing for ROY
And I think he’ll actually shoot the ball well early in his career.
What I’m worried about is when he fills out and puts on muscle like Giannis did, his shooting might suffer.
Giannis was actually a decent shooter early in his career.

Re: With the 4th Pick, the Raptors select Scottie Barnes
Nick Nurse must be salivating thinking about all the different defensive schemes he can run with Pascal, Barnes, and OG in the front court.
Now, Pascal's gonna have to keep developing his shot, and Barnes needs too as well or Nurse will have to be really creative on offense for a while or keep all three off the floor. But on defense imagine having three guys on the floor who can legitimately switch every assignment.

I think he's got grand slam potential but this comment was funny nonetheless.

It had little to do with adding muscle mass, Giannis' shot got ruined because they tried to reconstruct his shot and failed miserably.
