Everything Scottie Barnes

I was kidding… I totally thought that.

Hey, I was his biggest supporter pre draft and even I wasn't sure he could play this well right away. There will be rough patches as Nick tests Scotties limits, but so far he's risen to all challenges.

I’ll say this.. Scottie shot 1 three and missed it last game (just rimmed out). I think he’s been holding back on shooting long distance, he’s gotta look around, Fred’s air balling and bricking shots, Boucher was bricking them, Gary was chucking them up. Let them fly young man!

Summer league changed a lot of ppl's minds but yeah I figured he would be playing but I didn't realize his playmaking was THAT good.

It's good to have a vet like him on the team... a calming influence is what is needed ... like he said ... it's only 1 game and couldn't have been worse .. can only be better next game..

Jeesh Scottie Barnes didn’t even start on Florida State last year now he’s dropping 25/13 on his second NBA game. Crazy.

His shooting definitely improved since college.

Chill, dude. That's Scottie watching his teammates chuck. Follow the thread. And besides, it's a joke.

lol. You were barking up the wrong tree... I'm 1000% on the Scottie bandwagon. Pre-draft, I was okay with picking Barnes (or whoever Masai/Bobby decided), and got absolutely raked for making this post:

Yeah, I can totally see the fascination with Barnes.

Barnes with a reliable 3-pt shot would look a lot like a bigger version of Kawhi....with playmaking. A 2-way monster. That's tantalizing. That's the type of guy that wins you championships. But without that 3-pt shot, even a lot of his playmaking space would be taken away. And like you said.... if you're picking 4th, can you really take a chance that you might end up with the next Stanley Johnson?

Picking 4th was supposed to be a no-brainer. Pick whoever falls from Cade/Suggs/Mobley/Green... right?

We saw a glimpse of that tonight.
