Official Scottie Barnes Thread 2

No starter is.

Ultimately what’s going to happen is that Precious will start. Either at the start of next season or the season after.

Still not a fan of that lineup. It feels like it’s digging us holes every time and the Precious-Boucher lineup gets us out it.

Still think there will be an effort for a big trade this offseason.

Don't like it at all, as soon as every team knows its open season at the rim, we can't do nothing about it.

I never want to see Siakam/Barnes at the 5 unless its in short spurts.

Precious is a very good rim protector.

Precious improving and starting are the key to being a truly elite team next year. Same situation Boston had with Robert Williams last year compared to this year. Miami went to the Finals in Bam first year starting. This is the key.

Trent too inconsistent to be a starter when everyone is healthy.

PG FVV
SG OG
SF Barnes
PF Pascal
C Precious

PG Brooks - Banton
SG Trent - Banton
SF Bhaddeus
PF Boucher
C Birch

Trent could be a good 6th man but I just think he's too fragile to deal with the downgrade from a starter and previously 3rd option.

I'm still of the mind that Trent should be shopped this off-season. He just doesn't fit.

shopped for who though? Hard to imagine we will get proper value back and this helps the team. I think we need to package him with someone else and aim big.

Package him and our #32 pick for a top 11-13 pick in the next draft and a salary filler, preferably without an albatross contract. I'd love Duren on this team.

I don't think it will effect the rookie rankings but Mobley sprained his ankle last night.

And so it begins. AD 2.0.

Without Trent in the starting lineup , there isn’t enough spacing / shooting. I get the OG , pascal , and Precious have all shot the ball well, but they aren’t the floor spacers necessary. Trent has struggled , and needs to be more consistent. But if you’re replacing him in the starting lineup it NEEDS to be with a lights out shooter in my opinion. When the paint is clogged it hurts pascals game, Scottie’s game, and our overall game.

A crucial win over the Cavaliers last week helped vault the Raptors into the No. 6 seed in the East with just two weeks remaining in the regular season. If the Raptors finish the season ahead of the Cavaliers it might also swing the Rookie of the Year vote in Barnes' favor. I've said this before, but Barnes and Mobley's numbers are so close that I'd be fine with either one winning it, and if they tied for the award that also wouldn't be a horrible decision either. That's just how close they've been to each other in this race.

What Barnes has been doing for the Raptors all season long, where he's averaging 35.7 minutes -- the most of any rookie, and 15th in the entire league -- has just been flat-out astounding. He's filled multiple roles for Toronto, from leading the team in scoring in October as Pascal Siakam was out to start the season, to being perhaps the most important defender on the team when OG Anunoby was sidelined for 15 games.

He's played point guard at times, while other times he's just roaming around the court waiting for his opportunity to muscle his way in to the paint and score. He can defend all five positions well, and has often made clutch stops down the stretch. I think Barnes may have the edge over Mobley right now, but these last two weeks could flip flop all the way until the end.

With the raptors winning he has all the momentum and now he's gotta have some big games to cement the vote.

Holy mother of God we dodged a bullet. I know it's early, but has anyone ever become an elite offensive player after posting those type of rookie numbers?

Really? Surely there have been other players who have done that. Amazing nonetheless.

I don't think he'll be as injury prone as AD but I do wonder how his skinny frame will hold up over the years. I don't see it mentioned all that often but I do think it's a question mark.

Barnes on the other hand looks like he's built to ruin people's days for the foreseeable future.

Not in the last 50 years.

Suggs is a 1 way player atm, from what Magic fans are saying, he's a very good defender, but yeah, aside from the FT shooting, those numbers aren't pretty this year.
