I think Barnes will be fine in the end but I sometimes I wish this team would just draft the obvious BPA, regardless of positional need. Figure out movement after. We always get the silence/gasp when we draft top 10.

Looking forward to seeing how Flynn improves running the point.

Barnes is raw as hell. He's got no touch right now, and the jumper is shaky. I think he'll be hidden year one since he's coming off the bench. I get what Masai is trying to do but I still think Suggs was the right pick to make, bad workout or not. Dude fits the team, can actually run an offense and pass the ball with some creativity unlike FVV and can score. Barnes is such a huge project.

Really disappointed by Flynn. Dude plays with so much tunnel vision and has barely set anyone besides Freddie Gillespie, who has nearly dropped every pass, fail to hold onto the ball or missed every shot he's taken in this summer league. Freddie G might be cut if he's still like this by the end of training camp

Precious has played really well btw, looks like his jumper is really coming along too. If he keeps this up, he's gonna get a ton of mins this year

You know who Scottie looks exactly like in terms of their game and they way scouting reports describe them at the same age? Michael Kidd Gilchrist

Both 6'7 athletic freaks with crazy measureables who can't shoot and are future DPOYs

So what's the difference between Precious Achiuwa and Scottie Barnes? They look like the same player on the floor, so why is everyone kissing Barnes' ass?
Only difference I can see now is one guy is more a traditional big and the other more of a stretch (that can't shoot :dry:).

There skill sets are in the same ball park.

Solid game by Barnes, started off slow but overall great game. Efficient, great defense, good passing. 23 points 5 boards 4 assists 2 blocks

:salute:


He would've had more assists if Gillespie wasn't such a scrub.

And michael kidd gilchrist is out of the league 27 :picard:
Michael kidd gilchrist also looked great in summer league


r the next two hours, Kidd-Gilchrist opened everyone's eyes, showing any remaining skeptics that the clichés about his energy before the 2012 NBA Draft were far more than clichés. The final numbers -- 18 points, eight rebounds, five assists and four steals -- were impressive enough

He sets the tone for everyone else," Dunlap said. "He's a locker room guy. He doesn't use a lot of words, but he has an impact with his voice and he backs it up with an energy."

if you read this you can literally just put in scottie barnes where it says michael kidd gilchrist
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Puts Clichés Into Action


raps messed up, jalen suggs already was looking like a ten year vet in college and in summer league and will prob avg like 17/6/4 this year

while all the raps can preach is barnes is a few years away
