One plays for Merica and the other plays for Canada

This was my favourite play of the night. Not just the no look pass, but how he got his initial pass deflected from the left block and still beat everyone to the ball at the elbow.
Also loved the bad pass from Banton he caught one handed and fed to Yuta for the dunk.

Aside from being big and shooting the ball well, he had 10 boards. He can really mix it up inside and has looked legit throughout SL and now preseason.
Even on defense, at a few points he was in the post taking on Drummond on his rim runs. He had zero backdown and did well to protect the paint. He just looks like a guy who will have a long NBA career - just a natural.

Barnes is such a good passer. Like he routinely initiates offense with the end goal of making a pass instead of going full tunnel vision for his own offense.
I was laughing when people were saying he wouldaverage 2 to 3 apg in the predict Scotties Barnes stat thread. He will average way more than that the way he plays (and with the ball movement offense we preach)

Wait until he actually learns to shoot and defenders have to go over on the pick and roll. He will be able to pick apart defenses imo.
During the draft, I was most intrigued with his decision making and it's just fun watching a player like that constantly make good decision.

If he caught it, it wasn't a bad pass.

Fred VanVleet / Goran Dragic
Gary Trent Jr. / Svi Mikhaluik
OG Anunoby / Yuta Watanabe
Pascal Siakam / Scottie Barnes
Khem Birch / Precious Achiwa

I'm happy putting Precious up against him (AD) and scoring with ease in the PNR or in transition. Didn't see the first comment about not needing or having a C I guess. I consider PA a C.
Ya both him and Birch are centers but they will both really struggle with strong centers. They really lack the strength to body players around the paint and defend the post.
I understand both will provide great agility/speed to help offset that in the regular season. I think we should go after a 3rd center who can provide that look when we need it.

You got the wrong Wagner. Rookie Wagner had 3 points.
