To be fair there would’ve been a bigger turn out for Suggs.

But I agree with everyone. Scotties personality is going to blow up in Toronto. He’ll definitely be the vocal leader and the face of the team for a while. Especially if he becomes an Alll Star

Yeah its wild but honestly I understand where their fears were coming from but Im happy that people are at least giving this kid a chance.

Also I think a lot of Barnes demeanor since the draft and his genuine embracing of the city & team would melt even the coldest of hearts.

We will see some FVV/Barnes/OG/Pascal/random center line-ups during the season.

As soon as this guy gets a big steal and dunk he’s going to be a fan favourite. I’m really rooting for him because he has such a magnetic personality.

Now that we drafted Barnes over Suggs, I hope Nurse lets Scottie play through his mistakes. Barnes said he prefers to play the point guard position, and with Lowry all but gone, I hope the team gives him a chance at PG. Suggs would have made this team better immediately. Let Scottie play major minutes in the backcourt. I hope they do not have a tight leash on him.

52 seconds into this video
When Scottie came in to workout for us his wingspan was measured at somewhere between 7'3.5"-7'4". Hand width 27cm (10.63").


Yeah that's what I was referencing. Difference between the combine results and this one.

But if he has a 7'4" wingspan :o :o


Masai slipped the measurements guy at the combine a quick G to rig it

smart.

Lol, looks like he found his go-to food spot. On a side note, has anyone gone to this place, and tried their stuff? Is it any good and worth the trip?

Hope he works on his first step and and short burst speed, his stationary elite athletcism isn't fully translating to nba athleticism.

Like what I saw in the video though.
