Everything Scottie Barnes

[LJ2]

Some players would use getting left off the all Star team as motivation to improve. Hope that's what Scottie does.

He better wake up.
He is wasting his talents by being too passive.
Stop being Magic and be like his idol KObe.

Being like Kobe would imply that Scottie actually has a deep bag like Kobe.

I meant the mentality for now.

But he shouldn't stop working on his bag.

You can have all the Mamba Mentality & confidence in the world, but if you don’t have the skill to back it up, you end up being like Dion Waiters.

Scottie is more talented than Waiters tho

magic came in and still dominated with hall of fame talent on his roster.... the personality is what it is he aint magic and he sure as hell aint kobe and that is fine.

That's not the point, here. If you can't make those tough, contested shots, then you're going to be shooting your team out of games, i.e., inefficient chucker. Scottie is all about winning, and you can see that if he doesn't have his offense going that night, he won't force it. Mamba Mentality is the opposite - you force your own offense, no matter what - teammates & wins be damned.

that's the hope. Need the same fiery Scottie we saw in his rookie season.

saw this and thought it was interesting: scottie leads the league in total distance covered this season and is tied for 6th on a per game basis.

again i don't think conditioning was the reason for last night's late game disappearing act, but i think it is worth keeping in mind how much this guy is asked to do on a nightly basis and that he is still only 22 while the fanbase is shitting all over him.

He also loves to chase down blocks.
So running and jumping.

Personally I hope he doesn't chase a lot, be a bit conservative but smart on defense to conserve energy.
