But that 7’4 wingspan


I’m talking the entire lineup.

Doesn't the whole team have 7 foot wingspans? :)

The Raptors used their late first round logic on a top 5 pick.

Length and athleticism. Forgot about talent and feel for the game.

Nah. As long as Scottie plays hard nosed defense which he will...Nurse will have patience with him.

I mean the man played McCaw 30 minutes a game on an actual contender. He’ll find room for Barnes (who actually scarily might be worse than McCaw was offensively right now somehow).

28 points at halftime lol

I'm loving all negativity about Barnes in a summer league game thread. The Raptors board is BACK! I actually prefer Barnes over Suggs. Remember we are the Raptors, we have to take home run swings in the draft to land game-changing talent because we literally will never, ever sign a star free agent. I'm looking forward to seeing Barnes in actual NBA games I think he'll thrive in a more structured system and surrounded by talent.

LiAngelo definitely got confidence in spades. Hopefully someone takes a flier on him but it wouldn't be the worst thing in da world to spend a season in the G League. Build your stock up.

maybe unpopular opinion b/c he's well-respected but Patrick Mutombo is an awful SL coach, sorry not sorry.

Summer league squad is trash and our coach doesn't allow Barnes to bring the ball up court and initiate any pnr's.

Man is getting the ball and instantly passing it and setting screens.

Game 1 Barnes was different. He was given more freedom and you could see the potential.

edit: 3rd quarter onwards they're finally letting him make plays.

Nurse still coaches in Championship mode and has highs expectations he might not like some of Scotties mistakes.
Barnes kind of reminds me of Dwight Howard with some of his goofiness and demeanor despite having the
Incredible Hulk body. Also I think Nurse hinted he was a Jalen Suggs guy in a interview.

On the flip side Nurse loved McCaw who has also had no offense and was just big and a capable defender so
who knows. I just see Nurse being tough on him like he was on Pascal for some of his brain dead mistakes
and having a tight leash on the rookie as I think Nurse has a hard time accepting losing and rebuilding and
will be gunning for the playoffs.

Someone mentioned it but it wouldn't surprise me if Barnes is in the 905 at some point this year especially if
he continues to look scared/tentative offensively.

He has no offensive game whatsoever.

What I've learned so far in 4 summer league games is that Patrick Mutumbo will never be an NBA head coach.
