we'll probably need his roster spot in some kind of 3-for-1 Dragic deal.

That Banton kid looks really good! Masai is looking like a genius right now.

Love his defensive intensity. He looks really good out there. If he can round out his offence over the next few years, that’ll be a steal of a pick for the Kings.

He’s already signed to a NBA contract, fully guaranteed this year, so I’m sure he’ll get a chance.

If he can make a catch and shoot 3 from the top of the arc he will be on his way.

Barnes rendered GIllespie unnecessary.

he gets the ball so many times under the basket from great passes and a lot of missed opportunities lol. he's undersized and seriously lacks a lot of skills.

Barnes got rest for this game ???

I’m guessing the team wanted him to finish on a good note since he played well last game. Precious as well….

he'll play in the g-league as well probably. a lot of players in the Toronto system, like Siakam, has, even for a bit. but he may get double duty if gleague game is before an NBA game like some of the Raptors bench has done so in the past.

all teams have been resting their top picks for the last game, where do you come up with these narratives? lol

I could be wrong, but it looks to me like he put on weight. Maybe that's a reason he has lost some agility and coordination.

Lol….have they really ? I only watched Cades, Greens and Mobley’s first games and all of Suggs until he got hurt.

I never knew this was a league wide thing they were doing with the top picks.

My bad……

maybe the unstructured nature of the summer league doesn't suit him? He looked waaaaay better last year, not sure whats going on there.

I don’t know if he looked way better. Probably masked by superior talent around him more than anything. He’s an energy but undersized big man lacking fundamentals.

yes but he was still effective. Some players are not at all suited to summer league. Any big that lives on the PnR may be playing SL with a fringe PG which makes it almost impossible for them to showcase skills
