Like he’s still a guy who gives crazy high 3 point volume, who back when he was younger and wasn’t initiating as much, shot as good as 39% from 3. He’s also a guy who is a hell of a playmaker.

Imagine if we could swap out RJ / Agbaji / picks and get in Ball?

The ceiling would be so, so, so high. Perfect backcourt fit with IQ to IMO

He’s the type of guy who needs the ball in his hands and he plays no defense. I don’t think he will work well on many teams. He’s in the type of place he will thrive where he will put up stats but never win

I’ll wait until he has an even average team around him. Wha else is he supposed to do? Defer to Bridges or Diabate? Or Sion James?

Charlotte has a +5.9 NRTG when Ball is on the floor. They’re 4-9 causes it’s -8.1 when he sits.

Last year, -3.9 on, -11.8 off

2023/24, -8.4 vs -10.8 (22gp)

2022/23, -4.7, -6.7

2021/22, +1.5, -0.4

This kid obviously had an impact. He actually here would he a perfect fit here to.

Would take him for sure

That’s the first time all game Barnes and Poeltl have been able to play their two man game because the offense has been in the wrong hands all game

Scottie has such a great understanding of the geometry of basketball.

Barnes and Poeltl got something special going on this season.

Theyre missing Brandon Miller too. Theyre one legit big man away from being a good team.

Ill never get tired of watching Scottie Barnes dimes

Syd-TK3 · Post #658 » by **Syd-TK3** » Tue Nov 18, 2025 2:36 am

RJ first pass to Scottie

Tripod · Post #659 » by **Tripod** » Tue Nov 18, 2025 2:37 am

If this stays tight, wonder if they go hack a Yak.

Others just can't do what Barnes does passing wise
