Is Barnes ready to be the face of the franchise?| OverDrive - Hour 3 - 07/08/2024

Bryan Hayes, Dave Feschuk and Al’s Brother discuss where John Cena ranks all-time in WWE history and if he’s a Mount Rushmore superstar. They are joined by TSN Raptors reporter Josh Lewenberg to discuss if the Toronto Raptors are not bad enough to be one of the worst team in the league next season, why they need to trade Jakob Poeltl and more on the direction of the team, whether or not Scottie Barnes is ready for the off-court responsibilities that come with being the face of the Toronto Raptors and more. The guys are also joined by TSN Soccer reporter Matthew Scianitti to discuss the belief in the Canadian room as they set to take on Argentina in the Copa America semifinals, the confidence and swagger of the Argentina team, the leadership Canada manager Jesse Marsch has brought, the vibe in the building during the Canada-Venezuela game and more.

[@munsh4746]

Wow... well done TSN. These guys don't know basketball. Very negative. Raptors have some good pieces. Should be a fun team to watch. Let the younings play and develop.

[@vintagepimpage6049]

Here come the excuses... Anyone who backs ur ridiculous fantasy is an expert but if they disagree they are haters who don't know basketball lol

Lewenberg said a lot of nothing, And if fred couldn't get along with scottie then there obviously is something wrong with fred.

[@cissem4025]

"salt of the earth that is fred vanvleet", media in toronto and their worship of vanvleet, will it ever stop?, you cant brain wash us we watched him his last year josh lew my guy, fred is gone get over it.

[@KillahManjaro]

To be the face of a franchise, you must be the main bucket-getter night in night out no matter what. Barns is not that right now and I don't see it in the future. players are wired in specific ways. And He's wired to be a pass-first player. This team will be RJ's or Quicklye's team soon. Mark my word, the same people on this page talking about how wrong these guys are will be the same ones asking to trade him when he's not getting those bucket.

[@user-sn8sw2vi8z]

Raptors young core: Quickley, Barnes, Barrett, Dick and Walter.

[@KillerKat12345]

Damn... these guys are completely clueless. Perfect example of what is wrong with sports media, constantly just talking without any knowledge or optimism for watching sports... Sad to see these clearly hockey focused guys keep being given a mic to speak on basketball.

[@Tom_TTT]

TSN should stick to covering hockey. I’m not sure the hate for the Raptors, it’s not all that doom and gloom. Barnes is not a finished product and will get better. Whoever gets better will be able to stick and whoever doesn’t will get shipped out. Top 5 draft picks doesn’t guarantee future performance (Pistons, Wizards) and some of these older teams (Bucs, Suns) will drop off soon. Raptors will be back at the top of the East soon.
