He will go cray cray this year, definitely top 15 imo too

[@BenSanchez-n6w]

I agree man... he came out "rusty" in the pre season, but he just looks so different than everyone else. You notice him 100% of the time he's on the floor, and that is something. He keeps getting better and showing the improvement year over year and probably isn't close to his ceiling yet. I love those quick 1 hand rifle passes out of no where, not a lot of players in the league can do that and if you got the players around you who can capitalize you are gonna wreak havoc on defenses

I recall someone saying that scouts believe if Scottie Barnes had even a decent jump shot, he'd be the number one pick over Cade Cunningham. He went number four in the end but we see the potential for him to be the best player in his draft class when he retires.

[@rulazigzag]

He's already the best in his draft class. He won ROTY and is the first and only all-star from his draft class so far.

He plays a lot of free safety defensively, pretty similar to Giannis. Great ability to recover, and the long arms only make him more deadly. If he proves he has the instinct, I could see a DPOY in his future.

I love a lot of players. Scottie is my favourite. One of the the most versatile, intelligent and skilled players in the league. Casuals look for flash and are focused on scoring alone. SB4 does whatever he wants, and sees and does whatever is needed to get a win. People will see, soon enough.

[@tristanbryan3067]

The biggest thing i can say will hold the Raptors back is that main defensive guy cause Barnes can't handle offensive and defensive load every single night, having another guy on the floor who is basically like an anunoby will determine their success cause Barnes cant guard Tatum and Brown for example

[@musicferret]

If you don't think Barnes is top tier, you haven't watched him play. He changes everything the moment he's on the floor. Preseason, he's hitting the 3's at 48%. If he can improve even slightly on his 3's from last year, he'll hit another level. I predict 21, 8, 8, 3 stocks.

[@ohno4435]

Cant help but see him as a future failed star in the same vein as Aaron Gordan after watching this sport for so long but honestly anything is possible

[@therealpeopleofvancouver]

Thank you for the video. The American media loving guys Mobley over him makes no sense.

[@markgruner5812]

The main limiting factor for Scottie honestly is the roster, his assists and his spacing in general are so bad most of the time, outside or himself, RJ, Quickley and Gradey Dick nobody else on that roster is a positive floor spacer. One injury to any starter and it's such a massive dropoff in quality. I want him to start seeing success here but honestly think the Raptors need another really bad season to get another young good player in the draft.

[@MRBp2024]

That's exactly how I feel. A Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey type foundational pieces alongside Scottie where I am comfortable with the other surrounding pieces. I do think there are more spacers on the team like Ja'Kobe Walter who is a shooter. Davion Mitchell can shoot and an improving shooter Bruce Brown can shoot,

[@warsameabdinur314]

Truth is raptors has there own local broadcasters (sportsnet and tsn). We have little to no nationally broadcast games in the states. So the big us broadcasters like espn and ABC have no incentive to promote the team or its players. In a year or two Scottie will be a top 20 player and all star. All the old guard of players who currently occupy top 20 that are in mid 30’s will be declining. Kawhi, lebron, butler, steph, durant, PG, kyrie and lillard. Than there’s the guys in the top 30 with injury riddled careers that may not age gracefully like embid, AD, murray and even Zion.
