This man’s head at the rim, his head was barely at the rim on dunks last year.

He ain’t skipping leg day no more.

Lol I know that's an exaggeration but seriously Scottie has looked RIDICULOUS this summer...

Likewise I know he's not doing this stuff in NBA games (yet) but nonetheless he's doing 360 & between the legs dunks, nailing off the dribble 3s in Trez & Kuz faces, his handles look waaay better, his shooting looks way better and just overall he looks huge & dominant. He made such a big jump from college to his 1st year, it's looking like he's making another massive improvement.

Everyone is saying be patient but I think Scottie looks like he's going to blow the top off that. I thought All-Star in his 2nd year may have been slightly too lofty but not anymore. All that stands between Scottie being a star is usage rate. I have full confidence Scottie will be a SUPERstar, top 10, if not 5 player at some point in his career. Legit crazy to think what this kid is going to look by the time even his rookie contract is over...

He's going to be better than that bitch KD by next year. This season he'll close the gap and next year he overtakes him.

I don’t recognize that explosiveness at all, its not like he was unathletic before but this looks different

He looks like he got stronger, more agile and more explosive over the last 3 months.

Feels so good. Future MVP. Look how confident he is in that shot. His perimeter game looks like a prime Joe Johnson.

Just imagine how good he will be if he keeps the development up and stays focused.....Look at what DD became from his rookie year with us....Now just imagine how much farther Barnes can grow if he stays in the gym working on his skills....Sky is really the limit here...He honestly is now starting to move less awkward and alot more quick on his feet which is a bonus.

First hype video of the summer where a few things stand out.
1. Scottie wasn't a bad athlete, but this looks different. . Very different
2. The jumper and form look much smoother - range and a couple side steps
3. his handle and creation also look improved, though not as much as the others IMO

I still think he's doing a little "too much" with his creation/handle and he needs to simplify it. Sometimes less is more.

I'm sure Nurse is more than qualified to teach aggression and shot selection etc. But I feel like Rico is that guy for us. He can help Scottie reach that next level of getting his.
The good thing about BI is he can shoot over defenders.
The bad thing about BI is he can shoot over defenders.

Kuzma hung 67 points on Scottie (NBA Today). Would like to find out how that happened.

It's a tweet about Kuzma but shows a lot of Scottie highlights from the game. Scottie looks dynamic.

Scottie looks like Giannis, if Giannis had a handle and a jump shot.
