Good news is we have forced 18 turnovers already, bad news is they're shooting 70%.

Well, he still likely will be. If he's a 52 TS% guy as a #3/4 option we are pretty screwed.
what do you see in his game that shows he can be more efficient off ball? His jump shot has gotten worse somehow.

One thing I agree with is that taking him away from the ball makes him a worse player on offence. He should be scoring opportunistically only but he’s not a garbage man either. That takes away what he’s good at which is reading the floor. The fact remains that the team tends to walk away with a good shot when he’s involved in the offence (and he’s not looking for his own shot lol).

all the starters need to be benched to let Scottie play with the bench players. he needs to play a lot better

Denver is a legit championship contender. If we look terrible against the Pacers or any of the other mediocre teams in the East then I'll crash out on this team.

This needs to be a poster dunk

this is his 5th season if he still hasn’t figured it out now…

Honestly man, are we forgetting this is a max player? The guy we called the franchise? It s absolutely unacceptable how horrible he’s playing. In fact I’m surprised people are so nonchalant about it

Scott Barnes welcome to Milwaukee

Okay this is not how we’re using BI come regular season I hope. He might be our best ball handler/playmaker at this point if Scottie and IQ are playing like this.

I'm all for trading IQ. Maybe Coby White if possible.

Does Scottie have a shooting pocket

are we not concerned about how hard It is to make a max player look good? You sign players to the max because you know what they provide and they’re supposed to make others better. The fact we’re discussing ways to make Barnes look good as the max player is a huge red flag

400 million over 5 years going to barnes and quickley

This team is missing a true floor general since Lowry left....We havn't had a tempo setting guard in a long time and IQ is not a true PG.

You can add Ingram to that

IQ cant do anything out there, can't beat anyone off the dribble and the odd time he gets a step on somebody he haa no clue how to get to the rim or create for someone...

He can’t. He’s a below average screener.

Jokic is one of the best of all time at it.

there's no reason scottie can't be a good screener. He's got the size for it

Screening is a skill. If it was easy, Scottie would be able to do it by now.
