Scottie Barnes is a monster, do-it-all wing who is already an all-star; what now? | 24 Under 24 

good to see you showing love to other communities

He was 22 last season

Absolutely not. Hes not an extremely efficient player at all and if he takes more shots it's gonna get bad

@@williamg7138he’s more efficient than Paolo or Cade and they get all the praise for taking more shots.

@@williamg7138 Lmao

​@@williamg7138 you don't know ball

​@williamg7138 he's the guy on the Raptors not the Magic, he plays defense too

As a Magic fan this is exactly what I feel about Scottie. He will be an Elite 2nd option but not a great 1. Hence why Paolo comparisons is delusional.

@@YourWorstNightmare3333 Delusional how? Scottie is better at everything traditional and advanced stats. He has worst shot creation but his % are better. Scottie with his crunch minutes attitute is a couple steps above, it's his 90% of the game attitude where he tries to involve the other what keeps him in the same tier as Paolo

@@PabloSkawer better at everything lol keep believing that Scottie is a franchise player on a contending team I’m not the one getting fooled. You will learn soon enough that he isn’t it. No one believes he is better than Paolo except raptor fans. Enjoy him leading your team to the lottery every year

​@YourWorstNightmare3333 paolo comparisons aren't delusional, and only because of efficiency. Paolo is scottie if he attempted more shots. Scottie 15 at per game and paolo at 18. Passing is on scottie and scoring is clearly paolos. Rebounding can be the same but defense is on scotties side. The comparisons are valid only because of paolos efficiency. But rn banchero is ahead since he's entering year 3.

yeah this is just a wildly bad take. Evan literally just finished 3rd in DPOY as a second-year player and was first-team All-Defense in 2022-23. We talked a ton about what makes Evan a special defender in his video, would suggest you check it out.

@@mollyweir9350lol okay. Sounds good, we’ll go study Scottie’s on-ball fundamentals, where his hip mechanics and gait don’t allow him to actually play with enough bend to change direction consistently and guard great opposing players. Or his closeout mechanics where he can’t quite slow down his momentum well enough to consistently be available to both contest and cut off drives. But yeah sure, we’ll make sure to actually watch the tape next time and understand what we’re looking at as opposed to just randomly citing block numbers that occur on like 2% of offensive possessions that he’s on the court for. Sounds good. We were super positive on Scottie here. Dude is an awesome player who is going to be a multi-time all-star, which is what we said. Cool if you have a different take on him. These lists are fun but they’re also basically all about what you value/don’t value. There’s so much space for disagreement, and if you notice, I don’t really care if people disagree. Think that’s a part of it and it’s reasonable to do so. Accusing us of not watching the tape and blindly just saying some bullshit isn’t going to fly. It’s patently wrong and ridiculous to suggest.

@@GameTheoryPodcastwSamVecenie Mobley is overrated af. Big for no reason

​@@GameTheoryPodcastwSamVecenie you're famously known as a Scottie hater, we get it. He's been the best player from that class and he's just scratching the surface. Also a physical specimen who hasn't fully tapped into that yet. You're likely to look alot worse in the yrs to come.

@@colinnivisi-q5nit is genuinely just a horrendous take to say I am a Scottie hater at this point. Not another way to put it. I’ve been nothing but positive about the dude for like two years now. Have gone Raptors Republic and talked about this like three separate times now lol

Fr

He’s a pass first guy, I don’t see him ever averaging more than 24

You can tell these guys would love him if he was on an American team lmao

Magic said it himself

The thing here is, Scottie was playing better until the trades came, once he knew that Raptors were rebuilding his stats got way worse. He was avg +21 +9 +5 with +1.5s +1.5b on really good efficiency...

basketball isn't just scoring...things like rebounding, defensive, passing, feel for the game, handle are really important.

He already is

he's better than franz and paolo
