Official Scottie All Star Barnes Thread 8

[Spates]

…is this an actual question?

talking as if age plays NO factor in any of this

Freddie at age 22 = undrafted rookie mostly playing in the g league, scoring 2 points off the bench on 35% fg, barely getting nba minutes

Scottie at age 22 = playing in his 1st NBA All Star game - something Freddie couldn’t accomplish until he was 28. How much more will Scottie have accomplished by the time he is 28?

Season 3 FVV broke an nba...who cares he had a prime Kawhi leonard as the number one option, and KL as the starting guard. Scottie is the number one option.

What an absurd comparison to try and discredit a 22 year old lmao. This board is insane sometimes

Dude is just trolling lol. Always brings up Van Vleet who he knows was a bench player who was unplayable for a couple of the series and got hot in a couple of others. That's why you have role players on teams. They can win you a game or two as support players when when they get hot. Boucher could probably steal a game in a series with his hustle if some team took a chance at him. Heck, we have a guy in Bruce Brown who did that for Denver.

I cannot tell whether or not people are trolling on this board anymore. Too many crazy takes.

One thing I am happy about is that Scottie is already a very solid 3 point shooter and his shot continues to improve.

Given his skillset, size, strength and vision there is no reason he cannot be a top 10 player in the near future once his iso shooting game reaches the next level.

I wouldnt call him solid just yet, but he's not a liability, and that is most certainly an improvement, and definitely well above what he was projected to be from the draft, so I'm happy. I want to see him finish this year around 35-36%, but have the consistency, none of this hot one half and cold the other.

Lol fred was great in our chip run in every series except for Philly.

He wasn't only great. He was all-time playoff performance great against the Bucks and the Warriors.

I suggest your boy Scotty will never have such a performance. He is so weak and whiny. Not built for playoff success.

Thus my prediction....fred will end up with the better career.

I don't know Barnes personally. He's just a dude I watch on TV.

Go ahead and make fun of him lol

No way he doesn't have it lol. If the Raptors or Barnes suck then they suck. They're basketball players lol. The Van Vleet stuff is obsessive at this point and a bit weird from this dude lol

Fred ending up with a better career is such a ridiculously laughable comment as well lol. All he's got on Scottie is being carried to a chip.

Fred's career is a joke compared to McCaw, 3 rings, read em and weep

[Raps in 4]

Scottie All-Star with 27 points on 11 shots tonight.

[TimeForChange]

Scottie All-Star with 27 points on 11 shots tonight.

what makes it really impressive is it was against a Nick Nurse defense

He was great vs the Magic too? That's news to me.

7 pts on 38% shooting, 31% from 3.

You must have a very low bar.

I'm glad that we have higher expectations for Scottie.

So you think FVV will end with a better career than Barnes?

EDIT : Ah I see, you may have responded to the wrong post lol

It's tough to really take too much away from the first two games because the spacing (especially when he runs with second units) around Scottie has been terrible with all of the injuries, but it seems like he's almost slowing the game down too much at times.

It sounds strange to say, because normally it's a good thing for big, athletic guys like Scottie to slow their games down. But in this case, especially when he's trying to back down his defender it looks like he's overthinking things. He's pump faking a lot and going into a bunch of different counters, but none of it is really getting him anywhere. I think he's much more effective when he just goes at guys. There are very few defenders who can handle him when he just plays with force and pace.

Again, part of that has to do with the lineups around him. He's such an instinctive playmaker that when the passing options to shooters and cutters aren't there, he's naturally going to have to think more about where to go. Hopefully this is all just a good learning experience for him as he figures out what it means to be the lead guy.

Honestly that was the least impactful 27 points I've seen from Scottie. If you told me he had 15 I'd believe you more.

Not saying it isn't impressive or important at all because 27 on 70% matters but it never really felt like he was doing that much or asserting himself and kinda just got what he could as scraps

27 points on 81% TS is insanely impactful lol. That's Curry/Jokic-esque efficiency.

With some clutch points near the end to seal the win. These losers on here don’t even watch the games.

Nurse obviously game planned around stopping Scottie with RJ and IQ out. There were multiple defenders focused on him whenever he got the ball. He ended up with 27 points, with 11 shots, on very good efficiency without forcing things and tried to get others involved. Sometimes you just have to take what the defense gives you. I would say that's a positive sign.

Not sure what people want him to do - drive into multiple defenders, just so he can 'assert' himself more?

On the flip side, we focused similarly on stopping Maxey and it took him 23 shots to score 24 points. Do you prefer if Scottie did the same?
