Everything Scottie Barnes

Ah, it’s that time of year again.
Happy Thumb-Bend Watch Everybody.
😎👍

Only moments until the ‘Everything Thumb-Bend Watch’ thread is started.

I've still got twenty-twenty-twenty four hours (plus!) to go before Free Agency and I'm getting antsy. Don't tempt me.

Okay, so Thorpe was talking about Barnes thumb not being involved when he's shooting the ball which is a good thing, and they call it being paralyzed. Basically you don't want the thumb doing anything in the shooting motion. Phew! Crisis averted!

Ok! Thanks for explanation.

Ok! Thanks for explanation.

And thus concludes

Tomorrow…

Maybe on the guide hand. I think its ok on shooting hand. Base of thumb not tip

[Yuri Gagarin]

The more of a span the easier it is to adjust before release. Imagine shooting with two fingers - not good

The index finger leads the way, everything else is just along for the ride.

So…you’re saying until free agency starts….you want to be sedated?

I somehow missed that he touched 12’ on his standing vertical test. Remember when people though he wasn’t that athletic?

Yeah, that was a great piece. Sounds like Scottie is exactly the kind of guy you want to draft. I appreciate the posts talking about the improvement in his shooting, his combine performance, his measurements, and his workouts. Good stuff in the video about Ujuri's start as well. I didn't realize Thorpe was so instrumental in Masai getting a foot in the door.

Lol. I forgot Barnes is actually Jamaican, so he’s gonna fit right in to our culture. Fan favorite by mid-season.
