Everything Scottie Barnes

Smooth, but still slow.

[WJF]

I hope it's not his plan to shoot threes off the bounce all year, if so, we're screwed!

[golden]

Scottie is moving a lot slower than these guys... including OG.

[LJ2]

That's the difference between a 6-2 guard and a 6-8 forward who doesn't play low to the ground. All this talk of Scottie as a full-time PG in the traditional sense just seems unrealistic to me.

Yeah, the role model for Scottie is Luka, who moves at a deliberate pace, but still gets to his spots using his body and craft.

Lol to all complaining about Scottie's speed.
Do you guys even play basketball?
The ball travels much faster than anyone, boys.
Magic was not speedy as well, so was JKidd.
And this certain Canadian star who plays for OKC.

You dont think Shai is speedy?

You dont think Shai is speedy?

kidd in his prime was speedy as well

[Kagemusha]

Shai is not speedy. He is quick though, but he plays slow but very unpredictable.
Very crafty and shifty player.

[Primer]

I don't know how any sane person could watch Shai and think, that looks like Scottie.

[Kagemusha]

The comparison is only with regards to speed.

[Primer]

I don't see them operating at the same speed either. Scottie is much slower.

[Kagemusha]

Of course Scottie would be slower.
He is taller!
Compare Shai with players his size. He is on the slow tier.

[golden]

Shai is not slow at all. He is one of the best in the league at changing speeds and probably the best at stopping on a dime and stepping back or sideways, explosively. His footwork is quick and precise to go along with a super tight handle. Just aesthetically beautiful to watch. Pure hooper, lol. Totally different from Scottie’s heavy footed bully drives. Scottie is like 3, 4, 5 tiers below Shai. I mean, I can’t even remember a single play where Scottie got by his defender in the half-court with an advanced dribble.
