Scottie Barnes Appreciation Day | Digging into the Toronto Raptors’ rising star’s remarkable leap



In Episode 1538, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about ascending Toronto Raptors star Scottie Barnes, who has been by far the biggest bright spot in an otherwise underwhelming 11-15 Toronto Raptors start to the season. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about what’s most stood out to them about Scottie’s ongoing leap and what parts of his game have been the most entertaining to watch and track in the season’s early going. Next, they dig into the Raptors teammates of his that they’ve had the most fun watching him work with on the floor, with some thoughts on his play alongside O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Pascal Siakam. Lastly, they project ahead and chat about the types of players they’d like to see the Raptors seek to pair with Scottie for the long haul, and chat about why Scottie’s play so far this year has helped to salvage the entertainment value of this year’s version of the team. He’s pretty awesome!

  1. couldnt disagree more about what katie said about OG, since coming back from injury hes been extremely inconsistent on both sides of the floor. take last game…5 points on 2/10 shooting(0-5 from 3) and he was equally bad on defense. as for scottie plus siakam stuff, they are making it work and there are a few advantages, but a "beautiful" fit it is not. these 2 can work if everyone else is a shooter or we are playing hawks/hornets lvl defenses, but otherwise i dont think it makes sense at all. so if you arent trading pascal/OG, who do you trade to augment the roster? outside of our top 3 guys theres VERY little trade value on this team. at the end of the day this team doesnt have the roster to do anything in the post season and has fallen behind a bunch of teams that have recently rebuilt.as a fan that cares about chips not regular season wins, this team doesnt have a path to that with this current roster and the smart way forward is to break it apart and focus on scotties timeline.
