Scottie Barnes at halftime in game 6 vs Cavs: 14 points 3 rebounds 10 assists 1 steal 2 blocks on 50% fg and +11. Raps lead by 10.

Multiple highlight plays in a game he has to carry without Ingram and Quickley.

Primary defensive assignment is James Harden.

Edit: And only 1 turnover.

He’s been the best player in this series. Monster on defence and doing it all on offence

Most important stat: ONE. SINGLE. TURNOVER.

Dude has been fucking Fort Knox as the primary ballhandler.

2 turnovers but still, 10 assists with only 2 TOs is pretty absurd

No you can’t and that’s the issue for him is that even in the playoffs this will gas him the fuck out. Without him these games would look beyond ugly for Raps

He’s showing the world how good he is but they need to get him proper help. Not to say this team is ass or anything as is, it’s not. The guys have to make shots and play defense and shit and they are but he’s doing everything. Every single thing.

Get him a proper #2/other star/fringe star and he’ll ascend even higher

Just get rid of Ingram for some better role players

He’s not a Giannis/Bron/Wemby level athlete that can do it all and not get gassed out in a RS.

It’s similar to when Pascal focused on offense and his defense fell off. If they don’t get him help he’s going to have to choose to lean into one going forward and that’s probably offense.

not quite but he can definitely be more aggressive looking for buckets without burning out in the regular season

his middy has been super cash in the playoffs

I would imagine now that we have seen the answer, he will search for it more often next season.

I think the roster changes are way more important for enabling Scottie to do this tbh.

Top end players bring it in the RS tbh. That’s the level and consistency has to reach .

He’s had a fantastic series. He had shown signs of being a playoff riser in his first season, but the injury cut it short.

It’s a night and day difference between him in the regular season and playoffs. He was good during the season obviously, and might finish 3rd team All NBA with the injuries to several guys, if he’s lucky. Been a different animal in the playoffs though. Defensive ability is still there, but now he’s playing super aggressively on the offensive side. Which is something fans have wanted him to do all year long instead of settling so much.

Now he legit is playing like a top 10-15 player.
