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


His post wasnt so much a defense of Barnes but a comparison to Suggs and how there are struggles all around. Your post, however, was a clear defense of Suggs. And as someone who watched the Magic game, ya, Suggs was playing like garbage and the Magic were getting destroyed before he left the game himself (playing a whole 3 min less than Barnes).


Jalen Suggs played 11 minutes in the first half and didn’t return. Barnes was benched most of the first half and missed time towards the end of it. But he’s pretty much been out there the whole second half with 5 minutes left to play. The idea that you evaluate Suggs on a game where he didn’t even play the second half is just pure hating and is a convenient way to deflect from the less than stellar game Barnes is having. Yes all players have off games but it’s idiotic to act like Suggs only having 6 points didn’t have anything to do with him missing the second half.

pretty good comp


Honestly james Johnson was misused his whole career... He was basically LeBron James light and instead teams parked him in the corners exprcting him to shoot... The guu was an automatic finisher inside too... I hope the raptors don't ruin Barnes like that.

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.


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


Considering Barnes is 20, OG is 23, Trent is 22... I think we have time.

Scottie honestly gets his shot off easily I thought that would be more of an issue with his relatively slow pace of play

I am truly embarrassed for posters who put so much stock into summer league performances.

Geezus.

Sengun looks more like a Raptor kinda pick. I really like his game and would have preferred him if we had traded down to get him. It's going to be interesting to see what Barnes develops into.

You guys should be more concerned with Flynn’s play. Summer league is curtailed for players with his skill set yet he can’t score.

I dont even care about the points. I watched the game. He was awful. I dont even care that he was bad; it's summer league, but my god, these guys dont need a defense every time they play poorly. Theyre rooks playing professional ball for the first time. It'll be rough at times, and yes, it was rough for Suggs today BEFORE he stopped playing.

I think Sengun will end up being a top 7 player in the draft
