Scotty is tracking (has always been) to be an elite role player. He is DEFINITELY worth his max rookie extension. Anyone questioning THAT is crazy.

But after the whole scotty is potential top 5 brigade switches up their user names....they will hate on him just like they hate on everybody who is elite on the intangibles.


It's weird how this has come full circle considering you were always an fvv stan troll to me, but this take Is exactly the same thing I've been saying. In a few years these same famboys are gonna turn on him for not living up to the potential.

I like RJ and applaud him for the improvements he's made to his overall game this season, but without Scottie's support, he's just another Kyle Kuzma.

RJ with improving defense and consistent three on good volume is All-NBA, he is going to mature and get even better.

Buddy you’re the most toxic poster on the forum. You literally get drunk and insult others or ramble half the time about working for tsn lol gtfoh. Also at least we’re hitching our wagon onto one of the best players this franchise has ever had and by far our best player on this roster and not a midget who bricked shots every game like you did for 2 years. :lol:

You have sold out the tWo for far too little, DelAbbot! I pity you and your ways but also for how cheaply you've sold, not that the tWo holds much sway with the organization, the coaching staff, or our presumed superstar, Scottish!

Barrett doesn't take any mid range shots? They're a good match on offense, defense is going to be the problem.

He's been a totally different player for the Raptors. A guy that has benefited immensely from a change of scenery and being back home.

The irony of the first 10-ish words of your post to where that post ended.

Barnes is also not one of the best players this franchise has had (yet). He is clearly below Lowry, Kawhi, Carter, Siakam, Bosh, etc. and honestly hasn't even surpassed Demar yet. ****, you could make an argument that FVV at his peak was more impactful than Barnes is right now as well.

I fully expect him to surpass a lot of those guys if he is here long term, but he is not where near one of the best players we have ever had.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.
