From the man who stood behind him first.

This one trait may be the most important of them.

I'd really like to see Barnes on a team that would use him on offense.

Just look at how Cleveland sets up Mobley. He gets easy baskets and dunks all the time cause the team runs plays for him in pick and rolls and don’t look off of him when he has a mismatch. They make it easy for him.

We make things difficult for Barnes cause he has to hustle for all his baskets and create everything himself

We need to get Barnes more involved in the offense. Makes no sense seeing him take single digit shots.

the way the team operates. Fred in the pick and roll, takes way too long to get the offense flowing and in iso it's going to be OG and Siakam.

when you look up how many baskets are unassisted for Barnes vs Mobley or any other player from the Raptors, it's obvious.

Even when Scottie gets on a roll, the team just stops going to him. Remember he had 19 in the first half against the magic and then finished with only 21 cause we stopped feeding him

Fred is the one who makes the decision in the end. Elite playmakers on the other hand…

I’d rather have kept Kyle and had him retire here than have Fred running the team

Honestly gotta give Cavs alot of respect I was sure they would ruin Mobley being such a terrible franchise but not only does he look amazing they are actually winning games

Exactly.

Lowry was an elite playmaker. Fred is a bad fit with so many mouths to feed. he always has his mind on his own shot.

To think how much better Barnes would be looking if Kyle had stayed. Him and Fred are two really different players. You really see what separates Kyle from the Kemba's and Fred's of the league now that he's in Miami with a different team, although we all knew that. GROAT.

It is what it is. Unless FVV for Simmons on the table. And Simmons is the willing passer we need (and finisher at the rim)
