Precious has zero bbiq. Mogbo is at least better in that area as far as I can tell.

Giving us some nice offensive boost would be a great thing.

OG was younger and light years ahead as a shooter.


Not to mention Mogbo already has better handles, passing and rebounding instincts. Only thing they have in common in their build lol.

it requires 0 courage to try to bait a shaq comp out of me duff and balls of steel to remotely suggest there could be the possibility of a similar level of production despite us being in the 3 point era :lol:

Precious is a basketball terrorist. One of my least favourite players to watch of all time.

We watching the same game? Dudes made the right play the majority of the game. Good drives and kick outs, set up Mitchell and shaed for three spot up threes 9points right there. If you want him to chuck 30 shots a game you don’t know basketball at all.


People are still trying to attack me with this **** nonsense. After all these years. I will trust my analysis over anyone else’s at this point.

True, but 7 of them were from Gradey, Mogbo, and Shead. Young players are going to make mistakes. It's all part of the process we're going to have to live with. But I'm confident that all three are smart enough players that they'll learn from those mistakes and keep getting better.

I see better decision making from Mogbo. Precious has that irrational confidence which is a problem because he isn't good at basketball.

These are the same people who will be flip flopping a few years from now and demanding Scottie trades if he strays at the same level and talk about how awkward he is and how much they know basketball.

Your analysis is straight up wrong this first half. "No Impact"? Explain how. Barnes did what he was supposed to do and act as an offensive hub for the Raptors. That doesn't have to entail scoring 20 points the first half.

Scottie Barne's impact is disappointing given his expectations

just my opinion
