I remember when the off-season used to be like a black box that players would enter in the spring and leave in the fall, as you had zero idea what they were doing all summer --- except for the occasional charity game or cameo appearance at Rucker Park. You'd find out on media day first day of training camp how fat a player got over the summer or how much they worked. :lol:

Barnes looks massive
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

Harden's career-long commitment to that dumb beard… I don’t get it, man. There’s a hair tunnel from his mouth to the outside world, and food/other people's lips have to navigate through that nastiness.

This is what we’re talking about! Dude was a 27th pick, who many thought we reached on, who’s turned himself from a hustle/energy guy into one of the top 15-20 players in the league on heart, hard work and determination! Glad he’s a Raptor!

Scottie looks 6'10, 235 for sure. Shooting mechanics look more fluid though.

Thanks for that. Some good stuff in there.

I think my favourite moment was a play that starts around the 16:00 mark, where Pascal has the ball near the top of the key, and the defence is all keyed in on him, so Scottie, who is on the opposite side low-post, slides across the lane to Pascal's side, and then Pascal finds him open with a nice little over-the-shoulder pass. Nothing fancy, just smart court awareness by both of them, and further evidence of their developing chemistry.

By the way, who was the 5th player on Malachi's team? I saw Malachi, Ron Harper Jr., Jeff Dowtin, Kyle Wiljter, but who was the 5th? Not sure I recognized him.

Edit: Nevermind, I see that someone started a separate thread for this, and that it's Culver.

Lol, looks like Blake saw your question and decided to tweet his answer rather than blow his RealGM cover! :wink:

The NBA is gonna have to accept that a Raptor aka Young GROAT Scottie Barnes is gonna be the face of the league one day lol or at least damn close to it. You can just see from the skill development to dope personality that Scottie's it. I genuinely believe he will be a top 10 player (if not 5) at some point in his career. Get this kid (& Pascal) KD! lol ...if we can figure out away to trade for another true star to play with Scottie & Pascal, we'll seriously have a Big 3.

Culver is looking good in that video. I was hoping that was Gabe Brown.

Now I'm wondering why Culver isn't coming to camp lol.

My favorite part of the video was when I saw him dive on the floor.

That is an all-NBA player out there hitting the floor in a summer run.

I love that he is a Raptor.
