Scottie Barnes is the Toronto Raptors 4th pick this year in the NBA draft.
He is an absolute stud.
I’ve posted before he is the worm 2.0.
He’s a monster with his length of defense. He always plays with his head up and looks for passing options. He mid-range shot jumpers looks really solid. He is a stopper on D capable of guarding almost anyone. But he also does this.
If he has a little bit of a run or a foot in the lane he is throwing it down. Not many players can do this. This a a very nice option to have because if he gets in the lane with a little speed its a dunk. So his field goal percentage on these types of plays will be 100%. Adding more tools to your game has a compounding effect. Easy finishes in the lane in the NBA are hard to come by.
He is an extremely unique NBA player. He could fit in on many NBA teams. The Raptors have an excellent scouting staff and managers and their pick of Barnes at number 4 is looking more genius by the day.
