Excited to cheer him on! If he doesn't pan out and Suggs turns out to be better after all, just don't direct the hate towards him personally he seems like a good kid. It's on the front office if that's the case.
But of course, it might be the right pick! We won't know for a while
Barnes is not that player. He's Draymond Green type.
My point is that big guys like Barnes are more effective offensive anchors in the playoffs. And Barnes has the potential to be like that.
Draymond comparison is on defence, but Barnes has better offensive potential than Draymond.

What are you basing that on? He has no pull up jumper game, he has no post game, he has no three point shot.
The Kawhi comparison is a little lazy I feel just because he's such an outlier in terms of shooting development, very few wings are gonna be that guy. Also like someone else said earlier it depends on what kind of shots Barnes was taking in college (I'm not gonna pretend I know much about any prospects selected lmao)
Giannis has no post up game? come on now. Giannis is 7 foot runs like a deer.
Barnes is 6'9 got a little handle and you think he has Giannis potential?
Doesn't matter in comparing Draymond freshman stats. Listen to scouts break down Barnes game. Everybody is saying Draymond Green/Scottie Pippen in that mold.
There's a reason Draymond played 4 years of college ball. If we were getting Barnes 3 years from now and he had improved his shot and rebounding like Draymond did I'd be happy with the pick.

Help us understand, where do you based this passionate assessment of both Suggs and Barnes?
You sounded like you have better insider knowledge than Masai, Webster and Tolzman.
it’s quiet hilarious, sleep on it if I were you lol

I mean comparisons to 2 all-time great defenders, and even heard some Magic from some people, its pretty flattering.
His offensive game will need work, but all of these rookies need work. Green needs to work on his playmaking and defense, Suggs needs to work on his shooting, Mobley needs to work on his shooting and probably needs to put on some muscle, Kuminga has a ton of potential but needs a lot of work, and so on.

I'm not saying he is Giannis,,,
but then who knows?
Also, this is the problem with you my friend.
You are comparing today's Giannis to 19 rookie that hasn't played a single NBA game. Lol
This is why you should compare them when they're both at the same age,
like how I'm comparing Scottie's freshman stats to that of Draymond's freshman stats.
Everybody will say blah blah blah.
Tell me how many times those so called experts were ever correct in their projections. Lol
I trust our scouts and FO more than any of them. Period.
They have proven time and again that they do a great job.

I was pretty open about wanting Suggs, but that's in the past now. Welcome Scottie.
There's a reason he was the consensus #5 (admittedly in a 4 man draft). If that shot does get developed, the sky is the limit. Huge if, of course.
Another interesting angle is whether he can play C. His rebounding numbers were very poor, but he defended a lot of perimeter players, so hard to get a good read there. His rim protection also a bit of a mystery, for the same reason. But he's incredibly switchable, and if he can be functional as a C (his inside scoring wasn't terrible, though also not great, in college, he is good in 4 on 3 after setting a screen and can throw curveballs as a PnR ball handler), that can unlock some insane defensive potential for this team.
I look forward to being impressed in summer league.
