10 shots if he is lucky. I think 8 will be the standard.
Perhaps he might get more shots after the all star game.

Damn that's really unfair. Maybe you should file a formal complaint or something. Maybe then the raptors and nurse will exclusively focus on the ROY award.

I think you're the one hurting bro. You'll never catch me complaining about one of our players scoring too many points. You are literally complaining about a guy during a 5 game run that is near a franchise record. Keep crying about it.

Oh hell yes.
And the fact that a 20yr old rookie can play the role of an all-time basketball mind like Gasol is....magnificent.

It's just that people are selfish and rightfully so because we all know Barnes is capable of more if he's given majority of the usage, he could average close to 20/10/10 withe excellent efficiency and defense. But yes he's is being held back for the good of the team and quite understandably, this kid is just too talented for his own good.

His talent is being effectively deployed, WHILE he is learning, improving, and with a fair amount of team success.
This is rare, and trading that for more counting stats is nonsensical.

Hit a nerve I see? Seems like you're the one crying about it.
Yes, the truth hurts

Barnes - 36mpg and 19.0% usg. / 12.6 FGA
Other players who had similar roles at 20 yrs old:
Nikola Jokic - 21.7 / 19.9% usg / 7.5 FGA
Giannis Antetokounpo 31.4 mpg / 19.6% usg / 9.6 FGA
Kawhi Leonard - 24mins / 14.5% usg / 6.3 FGA
James Harden - 22 mins / 20.4% usg / 7.6 FGA
Steph Curry - 36.2 min / 21.8% usg. / 14.3 FGA
Which one of these players wasnt able to develop properly?

My brother....in my eyes everything is going great. I have no complaints. You are the one lamenting scottie's stat line. I don't care about his stats. Like you said....perhaps the allstar game's passing will soothe your concerns and you will join the rest of us who are content.

Not exactly sure why you comparing Scottie to some of the best players to ever play the game? They are outliers for a reason.
