He’s the only player in the NBA averaging at least 20.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, six assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals while making at least two three-pointers a game — on 39.4 per cent shooting! If he keeps it up, Barnes will be the only player to top those marks in a single season since the three-point line was introduced. He’d also blow through his career highs in six significant statistical categories.

He's surrounded by quality defenders at all times
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Just like how we used to have a top tier defense with Demar and JV. Crazy what having Lowry/OG/Siakam/Ibaka/etc. surrounding you can do.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Towns has Gobert protecting the interior and McDaniels the perimeter. He's used in a very low leverage role defensively.

Should mention, Scottie is one of only 6 whose in the 90th percentile in both - Lebron, SGA, PG, Chet, Embiid are the others. SGA is the only guy in the 95th percentile in both.

But people keep saying his NTRTG is bad therefore he has no impact and Siakam is better. How can I possibly reconcile with mountains of evidence, over feelings and 1 bad stat!
