If Scottie needs to sit the rest of preseason after scoring 0, and playing 20 minutes in the first preseason game at the age of 24... He's cooked.

If this fanbase supported demar DeRozan playing negative defense and putting up horrendous shooting splits and playoff performances for years but won't support Scottie at 24 years old based on his trajectory, this fan base is cooked.

DeRozean/Lowry:

Led the Raptors to be a top team in the east for years, reached the CF Finals once and have reached the 2nd round a few times.
LeBron was just their boogie man.

Barnes:

...........

So please dont compare those two, as long as Barnes has nothing to show for. I know you dont like holding him accountable, but the lack of growth in his game is concerning.

At the same age, Kyle was 2 years from even becoming a Raptor let alone leading them anywhere.

Mamu might be the best ball handler on the court right now lol

This has the feel as if they're playing in an empty gym

Who would've thought a year ago we'd be a better team than the defending champion Celtics a year later

We're going to attempt to play with exactly zero quality ball handlers. You might be the only one excited for that.

Who knows, someone might surprise.

Gradey chucking up bricks but I like the aggressiveness.

I've never seen dick play with this much hustle before. All over the offensive boards and getting to loose balls.

CMB is a lot better than his status as a rookie would suggest!

Gradey just able to do things on the court he couldn't do last year. Definitely gotten a lot stronger.

I'm so happy we took him over the other raw prospects that were in the same range.

DeRozean was the comparison. De Rozean was in the playoffs in year 5th. I am tired people are looking for excuses for Barnes. He has to proof it now. At some point, he is what he is.

You typed DeRozan/Kyle.

Scottie hasn't even started his 5th season.

Mogbo is still horrendous offensively
