Scottie JYD 2.0

Honestly we have a right to be alarmed. Not being able to score against g league talent as the fourth pick is a big uh oh.

[ruckus]

I like that shirt Boucher

I need to cop.

What a cope, if he can't have the ball during the summer league when is he supposed to have it? Preseason? Regular season? lol

It doesn't work that way. Its a team game. Pass and move, trust youll get the ball back. Everytime Barnes gets the ball he makes the right pass he doesn't hold the ball and he never gets it back. With the pro's it shouldn't be like that.

Summer league benefits scoring guards. Playmakers don’t show well here.

Except he wasn't suppose to be a scorer right off the bat. And a few players have struggled in summer league that have ended up great.

[NinjaBro]

How do we know thats actually boucher?

[Wargreymon]

Scottie Barnes = Joey graham

If Scottie can look like Graham physique though...that would be crazy

[Los_29]

LOL

1. You know Barnes was taken out of the game too right?
2. Suggs was getting WHOOPED before he left, I have been watching the game; also "hand soreness"? ok
3. So we're back to number of points scored? How did Green look during his time on the court? Like a superstar? Really?

Barnes was benched most of the first half and was taken out toward the end. He’s been available to apply all of the second half.
Okay so you’re assuming Suggs sits out because he’s scared to play? That’s not hating at all
And yes Green looked really good out there in the first half and has looked like a superstar in every other game.

You sound like you haven’t even watched any of these games and are trying hard to “defend” Scottie’s honour

Dude, it's ok. I wanted Suggs too. But I'm telling you I watched the game and he was garbage until he came out. And that they were getting whooped so bad there was no reason for him to come back in. Just relax a little and let the pick play out. Why are you in such a hurry to bitch and moan and call the guy a bust? You trying to ruin the season for yourself and the rest of us before it even starts?

Suggs is also a -36 in three games. The team has been better with him off the court than on.

[Arman_tanzarian]

Scottie's athleticism really shines when he gets a head of steam, that's where the Giannis comp makes some sense. Everything else is more Draymond.

Yep. Nba training fixes all the half court stuff. I am more worried about his athleticism at all.. dude was doing between the leg dunks in his sleep as a 16 year old.

Ben Simmons and lonzo were summer league legends

[Chandan]

Barnes is James Johnson right now.

pretty good comp

Nothing about his game screams draymond. Dead that comparison.

It’s embarrassing I gotta question y’all bball iq

[vi3t]

When was the last time did anyone went crazy in summer league? Did KD/Steph etc went insane in the summer league?

not the craziest but Marco Belinelli's performance stands out to me

Thats who i compared him too in the Draft thread its a pretty fair Floor for Barnes

Raps fans make no sense to me man. 20 years of disappointments (besides the last couple) have made people cynical; like breaking up with a girl before she breaks up with you.

Cade has looked rough for most of pre-season, but Pistons fans all say it's an adjustment, he'll get there.
Mobley has looked rough for most of pre-season and Cavs fans just it'll take time. He needs to get a feel for it
Suggs will have a bad game and it's no biggie to Magic fans. He's a rook. He'll be inconsistent

Barnes will play bad the first quarter of game 1 and Raps fans called him a bust. Almost funny in a tragic way

Previous Point Forward!

Did you watch Ben in college? Ben can score despite what people believe.

[Marty_Budda]

Imagine living your life being this negative about a 20 year old basketball player?

The negativity on here is insane.

This board is gonna be unbearable the next couple of seasons. Every bad play = waste of a pick, every good play = future mvp

Let the kid develop damn it. He was obviously taken based off potential. He won’t be as good as some other top pick first couple of seasons - need to stop micro-analyzing every play.

Teams going to need a big trade down the road then, there’s no go to, championship level scorer on the team

I just had the same thought. I like the energy but he needs to be more structured.
