Scottie Barnes Is a STAR & The Perfect Positionless Prospect For The NBA | Life and Times 

I was thinking the same thing

One with no emotion one with lots of emotions

Matt the commentator better get used to: BARNES, TO OG, OHHMYYYYYY

They both seem quite, but yet funny lol 🤣

@@TruePersianPrince 🤣🤣🤣

Super happy! We didnt need a PG. Scottie gonna be a stud

Let’s gooo

Yeah theres a lot you clowns trying to save face. Go be Magic fans

🦖

@@ZPLS18 no one tryna be a magic fan 🤣 y’all ain’t close to win shit since 09

Like Bruno ?

@@ANTDOG480 more like FVV, OG & Spicy P…

@@ANTDOG480 Bruno was completely raw and a long shot to begin with. Bad example. Try again

That is what the Raptors is in the league for. To develop players for other teams to pick up once they've been developed. Eventually it's going to be Raptors vs Raptors 😂

@@ANTDOG480 The development system was largely in response to what we weren't able to do for Bruno when he started out. Also, totally different personalities and levels of experience coming in. This is like a redo of the Bruno pick in some ways though. But with lessons learned from last time...both in terms of the prospect and also in terms of our ability to develop.

After seeing his shots in this video I thought the same. It does look like he's using his arms more than his legs but very far from "broken". Just needs to put the reps in and have the confidence to shoot and he'll be fine.

@@MartyLaBish yeah for sure, if they can give siakam confidence to shoot they can most definitely give scottie barnes the confidence he needs

Masai took him cuz we preparing for the Giannis Era. Masai is a genius fr!

It's nice that he wants to guard both.

@@KuyaArbin If anyone is up to the task it's scottie. I really believe in his defensive upside

I already understand, fam.

only took a few months lmao

Don’t compare draymond and Giannis bruh wtf 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ draymond is a role player

@@silentassassin3132 Think he means defensively

more on magic and draymond

He's got shades of Scottie

well he going to toronto now he can work on that shot tryna make THE kawhi shot

Guy can still grow

Facts! Extroverted Kawhi.

Giant hands too

That Kawhi comparison looks real today, hopefully he comes back with a lethal middy next yr

Yeah, we'll definitely love him. As a Raptors fan, I love em already

Yeah they already got a guy who plays just like him named Pascal.

Fax

Cade 1 Scottie 2

Top 2 for sure if he develops a reliable jumper

He did

Suggs>

legooooo

Good call bro

@@MIDGIOOOOO lol

we got him

you got your wish man congrats

That’s awesome! He’s a great player . Reminds a little bit of kawhi too

Yup, Got em'

He doesn’t need range, he needs to shoot a few 3s here and there to keep the defense honest. But what he really needs is a solid mid range jumper, similar to Kawhis hard dribble right or left, stop, raise for a jump shot. If he develops that at his size nobody would be able to stop his shot-that along with his already elite passing skills, & more work on ball handling he will be a great player.. I see him at worst a solid NBA starter with a 10-12 year career.. at best he will be a nightly triple double threat, All NBA 2nd/3rd team player & all defensive team candidate.. Only time will tell but Scottie is a better pick for the Raptors then Suggs would of been. Look Raptors have FVV, Flynn, if they drafted Suggs then Lowry is for sure leaving.. if they end up signing Lowry then they would have 4 smaller guards who do the same things. Barnes gives them the potential to have another ball handler on the floor but he can play multiple positions, defend multiple positions & his intangibles is very appealing.

Genius

Masai?

Essentially a Giannis? Get off the crack man. He’s not nearly as explosive or athletic as Giannis

@@BCfortheWin don’t worry our core is more op now

@@BCfortheWin Giannis wasn’t nearly as explosive as Giannis when he was drafted dude. If Scottie develops correctly he could be a beast.

@G He has a set of under average athleticism, can't shoot, and real high in turnovers. Mediocre production, and okay rebounder at best .. Not a good mix! Also FSU ranked 109th nationally in team defense.. Barnes' rating was 0.5 lower than the team average as a big man (bigs always bring the avg higher).. not great at all. Only reason Toronto drafted him is cause of "positionless ball" so lame. We will so who's ages well, mark me down This is a big nothing of a draft pick honestly

@G He has a good vertical but I meant his speed and quickness is slow

@G Man this guy is not Luka and nowhere near it quit making ridiculous comparisons man! And neither is he Kawhi or Giannis loll. How old are you just curious? You are making all these oblivious random arbitrary comparisons I see Scottie's game most comparable to Boris Diaw cause they are exactly similar w/ their size and rare skill set and abilities. He can be soon as a poor man's Lamar Odom too although Odom was much smoother and had way more finesse. I didn't hear anybody call Luka a bust ever - especially since he scored 26 pts in his 2nd game, went for 20+ pts in 3 of his first 5 games, and scored 31 points at San Antonio in just his 7th career games. So I have no idea what type of idiots you are listening to! And cut it with all these random comparisons, especially since Giannis came into the league much younger than Barnes did. Kawhi had an overall game and produced way more in college than this kid. He has 1/10th of Luka's scoring ability

@G You just pull out random quotes in an article by someone. No idea who authored it and Idc cuz "13% of his possessions came in transition" is a bunch of nit picky mumbo jumbo once again. I never agreed w/ anyone who underrated Kawhi and knew him as a steal in '11 so your gibberish is a waste of time. Hello Giannis had a 5 inch growth spurt which no one has, maybe he sprayed HGH in his morning cereal but hey his business. Barnes will join the list of busts like Wesley Johnson, Shaun Livingston, Dion Waiters, Tristan, Zeller, Bender, and Josh Jackson drafted at #4. Hell might even be as bad as Cleveland selecting Isaac Okoro at #5 last year! Toronto flubbed not drafting Suggs w/ his way higher upside and stronger D. None of those steals u mention compare to Barnes

@G ..And I brought up Kawhi's production not just his scoring. SB compares to Boris Diaw, and no one drafts Diaw at #4 lol. Tho Diaw had a better shot

Block party central

@@damnbeezy7136 Block party in the 6ix. Let's go...💪💪 We lost Ibaka and Kawhi, we need Scottie, fam

I love em..Real ballers know wassup. Let's go Raptors.🏀🏀🔥👍

Phuture bust! Raps should've drafted Suggs 100%, Barnes has little offensive upside. Under average athleticism and no shot is not a good mix. His D isn't what it's cracked up to be. Positionless ball isn't what it's cracked up to be

@@shaheedharun445 so ur saying draft another pg in suggs and hope suggs is better then Lowry? Cause if he isn't raptors gonna be the same team they've been this entire time.

@@jjm2069 Blah with your _ifs_ .. and oth what IF he is!? He certainly came in as a MUCH better prospect. Lowry is turning 36 next year and fading fast bud, they trying to trade him and he is not in their long-term plan at all, ya are somehow BLIND to age. You need a smelling salt cause your mind seems dead. Not to mention u expect these 19 n 20 yr old kid rookies to be so good in 1 year.. these young talents are projects and they have huge careers ahead of them, quit looking at only next year. It's not about next year for Toronto. Maybe you are only 12.. But clearly you know nothing how NBA management works, talking to a casual

@@shaheedharun445 his D isn’t what it’s cracked up to be? Yeah you a casual 😭 he shot up draft boards because of his improved shot defense length and upside

@@Htiy Lol defensive length is nothing but length, he doesn't have upside and had lame production, his lack of foot speed and C+ lateral movement. You listed nothing but superficial reasons showing you the casual like he shot up the boards to #4, duh of course that is a given. We all know that. And this is what busts are made out of .. players who shoot up draft boards in the final weeks are usually the big NBA busts or really underwhelm for a top 5! .. #1 Anthony Bennett, #5 Isaac Okoro, #8 Nik Stauskas, #2 Evan Turner, #6 Jonny Flynn, #4 Wesley Johnson, #6 Ekpe Udoh, Kendall Marshall, #5 Exum, #4 Tristan Thompson, #6 Jan Vesely, #6 Culver, Romeo Langford, Mo Bamba, #4 Dion Waiters, #7 Harrison Barnes, Meyers Leonard, #2 Derek Williams, Austin Rivers, Royce White, #7 McLemore, #4 Otto Porter, Knox, #6 Isaac, #7 Ntilikina, #5 Kris Dunn, #4 Bender, Mudiay, #8 Joe Alexander, Randy Foye, #4 Shaun Livingston, #8 Channing Frye, Stanley Johnson, etc. These guys all shot up the draft board right before selection look it up. You the casual son easily

Vegas will pay you 9 to 1 odds. If Barnes wins ROY. Go put your $$$ where your mouth is..

@@chrisemerson9748 Being R.O.Y. doesn't make you the best player of the Draft, it just mean you had the best 1st season!!!

@@isaiahmarcel9651 your comments says 1 year from now. What's the best tool to measure than ROTY

i was just saying that Barnes may be the best player, i didn't say nothing about Roty, that was the other dude response, ROTY don't make you the best player, look at (Tyreke Evans) or (Michael-Carter Williams)

@@DS-me7kk what im saying is, a year from now, look at everyone's progress and i can assure you barnes will probably be higher than everybody else!!!

Not if the Raptors are forced to play again in Tampa next season

@@migueladriannagtalon532 No this Covid crap is nearing its end

@@Trisof88 I really hope so.

@@Trisof88 apparently 4th wave coming here in Ontario unfortunately it’s come to the point where this is just a fear mongering virus for control.

Cops are nice because people in Canada are nice lol

Suggs>

They taking Suggs

Shout out to you! Raps got em.

we did it

@@kgosimajatladi2031 What was that again?

Exactly. I don't know what people tripping about. Smh That J looks pretty good to me.

Orlando is a sink hole

Rip the dream bro.. and rip fultz's career..

You guys got Suggs. That's still a much better haul than expected! He's NBA-ready from day one, but I think Scottie will flourish more as a player under the Raptors dev system.

Just like ud

You said all my brother. Let's get it.🏀💪🔥🔥👍
