Jan 23, 2025 · This cements IQ as one of the biggest disappointments this season from a long term perspective. Masai went from the organizational messaging about the core surrounding "Scottie and IQ" in the offseason, to it now being just Scottie, or "Scottie and Gradey" if you choose to believe Grange.

Barnes is better overall, an all star type, probably top 20-30 in the league. He looks like a super #2 type. 14th in blocks and 15th in O-Rebs last year. I actually really like his game.

Jan 14, 2025 · the point wasn’t to directly compare SGA with Scottie Barnes - they are clearly very different players the point was to expose how wrong and short sighted this idea that young 20+ppg players on poorly performing teams cannot develop and become 20+ppg players on contenders…already several more examples of that happening in posts above

Jan 16, 2025 · Scottie Barnes is such an interesting player. He's clearly improved skill-wise and in terms of approach. The highs and lows aren't as extreme. He's currently a very good player, who still has a very long way to go. He's nowhere close to reaching his ceiling.
