Does anyone have Barnes in their fantasy league? I’m wondering if I should take him in the later rounds.

The crazy thing about Scottie is how quickly he racks up assists with such low usage. Like I’ll check the box score at half time thinking he had like 2 or 3 assists, just to see he suddenly has 6 assists and counting lol

hopefully tonight is the dress rehearsal for opening night and we don't see tragic start the game.

Has a lot of gravity for a dude who can't shoot. They throw a soft double team at him and he immediately does the correct play and pass it off.

He gets 2 assists a game simply from handing the ball off and screening that players defender. I would love to see him eventually feign that pass and attack the rim while both defenders jump to the shooter.

Yep, I think Nurse called him out on that last game.

i do
you can put him in the Forward/SF/PF slots, doubt he'll play any guard/C.
He's weak/bad in 3pt%, FT% and rebounds, but he'll fill out the rest of the categories (decent fg%, AST, STL, BlK, low TO)

I look forward to watching Jalen Green as I still dont know which position he will end up playing (PG?SG?). His talent is undoubted but he looks SO small

He's clearly a SG similar to Bradley Beal. No debate him ever being a PG lol.

will see ..the man does not look more than 175 pound. All/most of the shooting guards are over 200 lbs

He will be a triple double threat in this league.

Scottie is a souped-up Shane Battier on 'roids. This is no disrespect to anyone. Battier was a highly decorated player at Duke for 4 seasons, both are big point forward types who do it all - defend, rebound, can chip in scoring (although Barnes should be a much much better scorer), be a playmaker and overall fantastic player on winning teams.

Scottie's shot is a work in progress, Battier was a polished player coming out after 4 years at Duke.

Gonna be a handful of gams where Barnes goes for the classic Battier line with 8/8/8/3 steals/3 blocks

Ok
