Anyone who says that we lost the ability to develop players needs to watch the improvements Scottie and Dalano have made since summer league. They are so much more confident and are better now as players.

To me he looked like a player who might reach 20ppg eventually at best but provide rebounding, playmaking and defense. Now he looks like a player who can dominate offensively in the mold of Kawhi but with much better playmaking. That's superstar potential. The only player i might trade him for is Jokic or Mobley

He's already averaging 15 ppg while being like the fourth option as a 20 year old rookie, he's gonna average more than 20 ppg at his peak.
Barnes now leads Mobley in points, assists, steals, FG%, 3pt%, TS%.Kingsway_fan wrote:best PER amongst rookies. 3rd best PER on team (Pascal, Fred) already ... best field goal percentage amongst Starters (exl Birch)... 3rd Best 3pt % on team, and just gets better each game ... leader in rebounds AND Blocks, ... seriously ... where will he be by season's end? ...

The shooting is such a surprise especially considering he's taking more difficult shots than Mobley who is mostly scoring off open 3s and dunks/layouts created by others.

No other heavy-minutes member of the Class of 2021 is touching Mobley’s personal W-L mark – the Cavs are 17-8 when he plays, compared to Barnes’ 11-15. Ditto for his plus/minus, which at 127 has more than lapped No. 2 Chris Duarte’s 51.

the guy's reaction, on the Nets bench, after that pull up 3 is even more spectacular
