Put up 27 shooting %’s. 60/67/100


This was started before the RS but so far he has been great! I am sure this will reach 100 pages in a month or so and if he's still doing good he will be on the next poll (whoever starts it)!

Rookie watchers are going to fixate on points and assists, but it's this kind of stuff I'm looking forward to when Evan Mobley isn't being dragged out to the 3pt line by a player like JJJ:

I really like this young fella he's going to be a good one. Why in God's name isn't he starting?

I have no idea why they signed Theis. They must be trying to pump up his trade value.
Sengun will be starting by midseason.

Theis is a good, mature locker room guy and you cant play Sengun 48mpg. But ya, Sengun should be starting by midseason.

Just so silly OKC traded that pick away. Keep Sengun and your looking at 3 building blocks in SGA, Josh and Sengun w/ Dort a likely high level role player and the wildcard of Poku. It was so foolish.

I probably take Barnes' line.
Franz- 12/4/2. 0 TO's 6-9 shooting.

Franz looks a little more polished than Scottie and Jalen, plus he's younger.

Barnes and Suggs are handling the ball. Not a fair comparison to bring Franz into it.
Actually Franz and Scottie both started at small forward. Franz is more in the mold of Hayward tho.

I like Sengun, but I love Christopher, in the same boat as you. Rockets team despite the youth has a horrible setup going on.

We all know your listed position doesn't matter much any more. Scottie is a ball handler and initiator in the Raptors offense. Very similar to Suggs, not yet the primary ball-handler but a good share.

His defense is already ridiculously good.
Anything he puts up on offense is gravy at this point.

Suggs played SG.

not high on wagner he needs to inflate his overall stat sheet and not rely on shooting if he wants to be gordon hayward.
this was wagners best game of the season and worst of scottie's. comparing them is not good idea.
Doncic will be goat. Lauri will be his sidekick.

It was the only game of the season, so far.

Scottie Barnes with a super impressive first half @ Boston and matched up with Jayson Tatum

15 pts, 7rebs on 6-9 FG, 1-2 3pt. Playing some tremendous defense too

Scottie Barnes legitimately looks incredible. If he can develop a consistent 3 point shot you're looking at Kawhi with better playmaking.

25-13-2 on 11-17 with great defense for Scottie Barnes. Best player on the floor in a matchup against Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Totally led us to the W

Anytime Scottie sat, Boston went on a run

It seems like Jalen Green is having a harder time getting his scoring...which is completely unexpected...and if the scoring isn't happening...he's otherwise a net negative...
