"I heard Scottie Barnes doesn't attack the basket. Here's Scottie in the third quarter getting paint touches at will. Lot of missed calls. A missed bunny by Jakob. A corner X for Ochai. An and-1 that wasn't called. Scottie's detractors hate film study because it debunks all of their narratives. So here's the film. Go argue with a wall. Also worth thinking about that the Celtics best defender drew the Scottie matchup and they pretty much sent double and triple teams at him every time he got the ball within XX feet of the rim"

"Yes. Very. Being 6'11/7'0 allows you advantages closer to the basket over larger defenders. Scottie is 6'8.

"During our draft show after the draft I asked @EDemirNBA who are the X undrafted players he wants to invite to the Raptors training camp. Without hesitation the first name was Chucky Hepburn. I barely watched Chuck at Louisville last year but his progression over the past X years is undeniable and I think it's safe to say he's the most impressive undrafted player the Raptors have signed since Fred VanVleet. Every single minute he's been on the court for Toronto I've felt better and better about that 2-way contract and last night he basically turned the entire game around in the fourth"

"9 questions for Scottie haters to ponder. ✅ If he's so bad why is he always the first player going the other way when you want to trade for a superstar ✅ A lot has been made of Scottie playing through injuries. Ingram and Vince Carter have been routinely slandered for NOT playing through pain. Lowry was routinely celebrated for playing through pain. So do you NOT want Scottie to play through hand injuries and jumpers knee Or will you simply crucify him for being soft if he sits ✅ You claim he's a Ben Simmons clone. But the biggest criticism of Ben has been his reluctance to develop and take"

"The best way to understand why Darko insists on having Scottie expand his game beyond the paint is Vince Carter 2000. This fanbase seems to think that basketball exists on a play-by-play basis as opposed to a season-by-season basis. Vince knew at the time that having the jumper as a counter would be important to becoming a great player. It was in 2001 that he packaged the full potential of his X level scoring and grew into a top XX player even going as far as leading the entire NBA in VORP for a season.

"Youre Being Lied To In 2021 when Toronto held the 4th overall pick you asked what the Raptors should do. You were told the answer was Jalen Suggs. When they drafted Scottie you were told he was a zero-level-scorer project and a mistake. In 2022 coming off his Rookie of the Year season Scottie was deemed untouchable in Kevin Durant trade talks. You were told Durant could bring championships to Toronto but Masai's reluctance to trade Barnes was standing in the way. During the 202223 'sophomore slump' you were told the culprit was a lazy entitled brat who didnt work hard enough in the offseason."
