This team has so many players who a couple of years down the road will be solid rotation pieces. It's crazy how good Masai is at finding talent.

The thing that has really stood out to me with Barnes is the STLs / BLKs. He has 6 STLs and 5 BLKs in 4 pre-season games. He definitely makes his presence felt on the defensive end.

OG - Barnes - Precious are our core of the future. Its such a balance of defense and offense between these 3.

Scottie running the break is exciting basketball. Its nice to see a 3 on 1 turn into a layup instead of 3 pt shot.

Speaking of No Chemistry, what the Fk was Leo doing on the broadcast? Was nobody paying attention when we were all cheering that he wasn't going to be annoying us this season? Gaah!!!

Leo looked depressed. Matt was trying to make him feel better with his kid from Keele/ Canadian legend schtick

I think Yuta, Wainwright and Bonga make it

I'm not used to seeing so many front-court players take the ball up the court themselves. So great.

Omg, you don't know how much this grinds my gears.

Instead of going for like a 95% chance at 2 points, players go for like a 40 to 50% chance at a 3. It's even worse when you got scrubs who shoot less than 35% doing that lol.

Scottie Barnes preseason so far

10-5-5-1.5-1 on 49/66/0 shooting (18/37, 4/6, 0/7)

Great start minus the 3 pt shooting

I have never been a Leo fan but he absolutely deserves to still be on the broadcast. I promise majority of people will hate Alvin Williams by the allstar break lol.

He'll make some 3s soon. Probably not great percentage though but got close with a couple of his shots

I'm so glad we're getting past that hot take phase of "Scottie's going to bust".

Same. I don't mind seeing him on the half time show

Ummm, did we get the stud of the draft? It's kinda looking that way so far lol...

AkelaLoneWolf · Post #818 » by **AkelaLoneWolf** » Tue Oct 12, 2021 1:51 am

I'm on the 'Suggs is a better player than Barnes' bandwagon. But I'm cautiously optimistic. I still think Suggs will be a fine player. But I can start seeing the Barnes fit than I didn't before.

the disrespect to Siakam. OG's improved handle might actually allow us to play him some minutes at the 2. A lineup of Freddie, OG, Barnes, Siakam and Precious (and once Banton develops replacing him with Freddie) will give us the most switchable/versatile lineup in the league. I feel like Delon Wright would fit like a glove with this team.
