I’m just waiting for the day Scottie is going to tell me: ‘Coach, this is too much,’” Rajaković said after the Raptors beat the New Orleans Pelicans. “I’ve been asking him to … play (small forward), play (power forward), play point guard, play (center), go guard (the center), go guard point guard. He’s just gonna do everything that he needs to do to help the team and to win the game.”

Actually such an insanely flexible player. I’m biased but he literally has done everything for the team. What a beast. Guys funny as shit too. Really glad he’s a raptor

I too have been waiting, but I have been waiting for the day when I tell my boss its too much and he doesn’t tell me “if you don’t like working here, there’s the door”

“gotta stack of applications on my desk” but also “we’re understaffed so I need you to work late” but don’t worry, “raises are (always) right around the corner.”

At my first job in life the owner of the company brought all of the leftovers from his Rangers box suite and presented it as a “feast”. This was on Monday, the game was on Friday. He couldn’t understand why no one wanted it.

Yes, this is (me) with the Texas Don’t Drink and Drive campaign. We’re reaching out to you today to inform you of our new campaign and we’re hoping you’d want to donate to your local areas safety in the coming year.

No but I am old enough to remember when he went on the Ticket and Corby said “thanks buddy.” Being a North Texas sports fan is tough lately.

Point Scottie needs to stay once Ingram and IQ returns but IQ being a pg also doesn’t help

Why do people talk about positions like this lol just put the ball in Scottie’s hands earlier. The offense can run through Scottie more while he’s still playing with the same players around him. IQ isn’t Harden or Luka he doesn’t demand the ball to be effective at all.

His handle simply isn’t there yet for this. He needs to get on whatever DeMar did that one offseason he came back with a dribble package.

I don’t understand why people want this, look at a team like the Nuggets with a transcendentally gifted passing big man, they don’t just brainlessly make him PG, they play him alongside a real PG and run sets to get him the ball at the elbow instead of at the top of the key

WeBelieveIn4 | Raptors

Scottie is just a winning player. So much of what he does doesn’t even show up on the scoresheet. And he’s been balling despite us being completely unable to put shooting around him.

I am all for the Scottie Barnes propaganda campaign to get him an All-NBA spot and DPOY runner-up. Especially since the posts today have come from a Wolves and Sixers flair lol.

He’s the type of guy that ends his career with a couple championships because he’s cheap for how much he actually produces on the court late in his career.

Insane seeing this prop from a 76ers fan lmfao.

Both guys are very good & i’d like Scottie to be more selfish offensively but i’m so glad i get to watch this guy ball out for my team in his current form.

Unfortunately the scoring isn’t at the same level of Cade but it’s such a wash defensively in Scotties favour.

2 very good, talented players & both are going to have awesome careers, let’s just celebrate that fact.

OverallMistake8198 | Raptors

I think based on what you’re looking for ie role, players around them & aspirations as a team you’ll find an answer there.

I think being a number 1 option Cade is the better player but as a defensive anchor Scottie is clearly the better guy.

Playmaking i’d say it’s pretty close either way. Both guys are fun to watch play for different reasins.

Cade is definitely better what are we talking about lol

Scottie is a great player and if he finds himself next to a legit all nba first option he will have many deep playoff runs and a hall of fame career but Cade is genuinely in a different class of player

Can you post Scottie Barnes and Cades because I honestly don’t know how they compare

Rezrov_ | Raptors

2 | an hour ago

Cade: 46.¹⁄₃₄.⁶⁄₈₁.4%

Scottie: 50.⁷⁄₃₀.⁵⁄₈₃.0%

Pretty useless stats tbh. Scottie has a 58 TS%, Cade 56.7 if we’re talking efficiency. Cade has more PGish stats and higher volume, Scottie has more point-forward stats and better D. They’re weirdly too similar and too different to compare super easily. They’re both good 🤷‍♂️.

OverallMistake8198 | Raptors

1 | 16 minutes ago

As i said in another comment depending on how your team is structured & their roles you can argue for both of them.

Outside of Jalen Green the top 5 are all pretty great players & the class itself looks relatively deep from memory.

I’m glad with the choice we made at 4 & i wouldn’t trade Scottie for anything

Scottie “Magic Johnson” Barnes

Pterox511 | Raptors

He’s imo the most versatile player in the league at the moment, on both offense and defense. If he can get his 3p shooting up to a consistent 37-38%, he’s going to be a very complete player. Even without it, there are very few that can do what he does on both ends of the floor

onefootback | Raptors

3 | 4 hours ago

hell if scottie can even become a league average 3pt shooter that would be good enough, he’s great without out but that would take his game to the next level
