The problem wasn't necessarily that Fred or Pascal were shooting it's that they made things so much harder on themselves trying to create for themselves when they could've just had Scottie (or others) feed them instead of all the iso stuff. That's the dynamic that was off. And we saw some glimpses of something different last year when Fred was out.

Different time, different era and astronomically much higher bar obviously, but there's no reason why we can't emulate some of that showtime Laker era stuff. Pascal as Worthy, OG as Wilkes etc. Get these guy out in transition and let them run.

It was this game specifically that got us all excited. I remember following this he started playing really bad though. Then Fred came back and rest is history. Not sure why his play dropped so suddenly following this one, it was odd.

Look if Scottie was hitting 3s like he was in that hawks game all season it'd be a whole different convo. The real truth is he just got lucky this game with his outside shooting. And he just regressed after cause there were more games without Fred and he didn't do a whole lot in some of those games.

We are going to push tempo down opponents' throats this season, and that will be probably the biggest aspect of Scottie "playing point". Run it up at top speed, secondary break, set it up for early quick-hitters, get into the action/keep it moving, get the easy shot - attack on the move, find shooters/dunkers - based on how the defense reacts.

Can't wait to see how it all looks.

I'm confused, why on earth wouldn't SCOTTIE be able to turn the corner

I’ve always thought the lack of explosion thing was a misnomer for what was actually poor form.

Well to be fair that was ol man Otto he was blowing by lol

'I love passing': Raptors' Scottie Barnes embracing chance to play more point guard https://www.cbc.ca/sports/basketball/nba/nba-toronto-raptors-scottie-barnes-point-guard-1.6988910

Along with his mindset of wanting to dominate and win, Barnes feels he's responsible to set the tone for how the Raptors want to play this season.

"Me having the ball in my hands, I love passing the ball, I'm a playmaker as well. So I like getting guys involved into the game, that's what I do," he said. "That's how we're going to play and we got guys on our team that want to play that way as well so that's what it's about.

"Everybody's trying to make that sacrifice."

To be a playmaker, you need to be a scorer.

Hope his camp is constantly telling him that. Look to score first and the easy reads will open up from there.

Exactly, guys like Ben Simmons are pass first cause they can't score problem is to get the most out of passing you need to draw double teams... Scoring means everything in this game.. All the best players can score no exceptions when it comes to this,

OG and Siakam being the same weight.

Gradey, Scottie and Siakam all being the same height is fishy as well lol.

McDaniels two inches taller than OG I somehow doubt. Also, are these supposed to be heights with shoes on?

i mean 20/10 are just arbitrary #'s. scottie on a garbage rebuilding 20 win team could easily put up 20/10.

He looked different in those Rico Runs.
Last night just proved that he's ready to rise to stardom.

Season stats prediction: 21ppg/8rpg/6apg
