Scottie Barnes OUT for Season? – Draymond Green Give HIGH Praise | Toronto Raptors News

We have an absolutely brutal update for the Toronto Raptors because last night Scotty Barnes went down with a hand injury and details have now been revealed that indicate Scotty Barnes will be out for a long time and potentially for the rest of the season so break down that report as well as

Draymond Green Giving High Praise to the Toronto Raptor Young Star so lots of stuff to dive into in this video but before we do folks we are very very close to 34,000 subscribers so mean the world to me if you guys want stay up to dat with everything regarding this

Toronto Raptors team if you guys could hit that subscribe Button as we March along growing on this community and you know we have some interesting things to look at for the rest of this year especially if Scotty Barnes is down so let’s dive into what’s going on so is

Scotty Barnes out for the season now last night you know reacting to that game I discussed how that hand injury could change everything for the Toronto Raptors you know if it ended up being something significant how would affect the team in the second half of the year

Because the Raptors have kind of shut down the tank they haven’t really been pursuing it but now it seems like looking at a lot of Toronto Raptors fans reaction to all this people are druming up they’re putting gas in the tank here again because things aren’t going to

Look good without our main star the main guy we’re building this whole Core Group around it’s basically news has come out saying that the Raptors say Scotty Barnes has sustained a fracture in his third metal carpal in a bone in his left hand and is out indefinitely now that’s

Bad news that is bad news news there for the Toronto Raptors because we are late in this season we are late the Raptors are trying to make a push back into the playoffs back into that sort of situation where you maybe we can make a little playoff run we can make things

Sort of happen but with Scotty Barnes out not just because we don’t have other Talent on this roster that’s not the case Emanuel quickley RJ Barrett he yaka purle been playing better as of late Grady dick has stepped up there are some good guys on this roster Gary Trent Jr’s

Defense has been good maybe Bruce Brown now cuz step into something there is some Talent on this team but one it’s young two they haven’t played a whole lot of mans together and three the whole construction the whole reason this team makes sense is because it’s built around

Scotty Barnes right now and even though we had other forwards we had other guys playing Scotty Barnes position at the start of the Season regarding OG hobi as well as Pascal cakam those two guys are gone right now Scotty barns is out of the lineup Jaylen McDaniels hasn’t been

That two-way sort of wing some people were hoping he’d be able to sort of mold his way into so the Raptors don’t really have a team that makes sense without Scotty Barnes on the court that’s not to say this is a failure of Messi Jerry’s team building we are currently in a

Transition period And even though we tried to make a push we tried to do this you know the Raptors didn’t actively try to lose without Scotty barns they’re maybe I’ll be proven wrong I’m hoping I’m proven wrong we go in a big win streak and all that type of stuff but

Without Scotty Barnes this team doesn’t make a whole ton of sense and if he’s out in definitely then you know what does that mean three four weeks we don’t really know and there’s only a couple weeks left on the season obviously any reps for these guys you know it’s good

Because they’re a young team and I said it last night it’s good to get as many reps in with our core guys quick Scotty RJ you know so they have some practice they have some you know build up some chemistry going into next season that’s a huge part of what the Raptors are

Trying to do why they didn’t want to just throw away the second half of the year because they wanted to get good winning Reps for our young guys for our young groups because even with that draft pick that could potentially be on the way we have prospects that are

Needed developing right now that’s why M Jerry particularly in that OG and anobi trade focused on bringing in players that are current prospects you know current sort of pieces that could be actively developed as we’re ongoing rather than just you know complete future unknown prospects you know for

For future draft selections so that sucks that we’re losing out on that sort of development does it make sense to bring him back for the last week of the season I don’t know if you’re rushing them back do it make sense to ramp them all up just for a few games where things

Are probably going to be meanless I don’t know but looking at Scotty Barnes game this year you there’s no other way to put this season was a massive success for Scotty 20 points per game eight rebounds six assists 47% from the field is three-o percentage has fallen off as

Of late but had a really hot start to the year that’s something will’ll have to be practiced become more consistent you know as this uh offseason comes around and I think it’s his left hand that he ended up hurting so it’s uh should still be able to get shooting

Reps up only 22 years old Scotty Barnes has taken that leap which is something great to see that is a huge positive for Raptors fans even if Scotty barns which it seems like it’s the case won’t play another single game for the Toronto Raptors this year this season was an

Absolute success for Scotty so huge positives there lots of credit to be thrown Scotty Barnes way I mean looking at who might step up now right maybe Bruce Brown will be able to redeem his value a little bit you know playing the three for the Toronto Raptors cuz that’s

Something think if we’re going to get a first round pick from the summer you know maybe without Scotty Barnes in the lineup he can fill you know some of that playmaking role some of that defensive role that is lost with Scotty Barnes goes out but obviously RJ Barrett’s now

Going to be handed the Reigns as the number one scorer for this team Gary Trent Jr is still going to be getting run but you know at that forward spot maybe we see more Chris bue but Javon Freeman Liberty is a guy that you know

Canen is more of a guard you know rather than a forward which what Scotty mostly plays but I hope this opens up some run opens up some minutes for him you know as uh things sort of come around DJ Curt’s been he got like five minutes of

Actual run last night I guess with Scotty burns out so he’s on a 10day we’ll see how his future is sort of impacted from this team but expect Grady dick expect you know baji expect Javon Freeman Liberty to get some more runs some extended sort of opportunities for

This core group as they’re the younger players on this roster and frankly I think it’s safe to say the Raptors might be a sort of push in a Chase to chase the Memphis Grizzlies in terms of getting a bottom six selection so their odds are significantly increased of

Keeping that sort of first round draft pick or and again when I say tank I don’t mean the Raptors going to actively come out and throw games but I think focusing on giving younger players more opportunities is probably the path forward right now because I don’t know

Maybe I’m I don’t think anyone would ever accuse me of being a raptor cynic I’m a very much a homer I’m very much very optimistic with this group but I think we all have to be there’s line of realism we have all have to look at it’s

Going to be very very difficult for the Raptors to get win games against good teams without Scotty Barnes maybe we beat the Hornets on Sunday but against you know not the worst five teams in the NBA the Raptors are going to be in a tough position to really get some W so

We’ll see how it goes but you know I talked about how Scotty’s had a good year Draymond Green felt the same way as he gave High Praise to Scotty Burns in his postgame interview last night you know after the Golden State wordss beat the Toronto Raptors and basically

Draymond green had this to say you know with uh with about Scotty Barn saying that me playing the point forward position I’m not going to sit up here and act like I was the first one to do it but I think I’ve done it a little differently than most and he’ll take

That to another level I think Scotty will do way more than I ever did so high praise and I know a lot of people don’t like Draymond Green I know a lot of people roast him injuries all that type of stuff he’s a polarizing player

There’s no ifs ANS or buts about it he’s a Hall of Famer he’s the guy that’s won multiple championships he’s frankly in my opinion underrated for some of the seasons that he had with golden state he’s a beast he’s a guy that Scotty Barnes Drew comparisons to you know

Entering the NBA there was a lot of sort of critic uh comparisons not criticisms but basically Scotty Barnes is definitely a different player than uh Draymond Green he’s more talented without a doubt now D that mean you know when Draymond Green says he’s going to

Do way more than I ever did is that in terms of championships winning sort of uh chips that would be a cool thing there Scotty Burns win 56 you know championships to clip stream on green particularly if it’s with the Toronto Raptors but I don’t know it’s always

Nice to see legends a lot of guys and this is something I found interesting because Pascal cakam even Kyle Lowry deardo Rosen to a certain extent those guys were stars number one options for the Tonto Raptors but never did I see a Toronto Raptor really get the praise and

Again I’m too young to be around the media sphere of Vince Carter so maybe he did obviously Kawhi Leonard of course but he’s not one of those homegrown Toronto Raptors talents but I haven’t seen you know in the era of dear Kyle Lowry Pascal cak and Fred Van vet

Someone command as much respect as Scotty Barnes has from the rest of the NBA get as much praise as I’ve seen him receive you know from other guys throughout the league so you know regardless of if you think that’s right or not if you think that KY Larry

Deserved it if he was overlooked and stuff the fact that Scotty Barnes is getting it especially at such a young age at 22 years old definitely is a positive it’s definitely something that can’t be taken as a negative as a Toronto Raptor fan sort of projecting

His future with this team so lots of uh lots of cool stuff but unfortunately probably not going to see Scotty barns for the rest of the season I’d be shocked if you know maybe indefinite maybe I’m reading into this wrong but I don’t know hopefully Scotty Burns comes

Back healthy has a full offseason to S train and continue to develop but let me know what you guys think about all this news you guys best make this far subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already I’m signing out cheers

The Toronto Raptors have been playing much better as of late, however, a scary report Scottie Barnes has gone down with a hand injury that will keep him out indefinitely. Additionally, Draymond Green highly praises Scottie Barnes in his press conference. Ben Rogers breaks it all down.

  1. Lots of teams are dealing with injuries or have dealt with injuries to key players this season. Just look at the Knicks. But good teams find ways to win. Good coaches utilized their players and gameplan to their players strengths. Darko has been coaching everything around SB. The front office has been building everything around SB. Now that SB is gone we will get to see what they really have been building up for better or for worse. This is the reason why Pascal shouldn't have been traded and extended then traded later if the front office so desired. Poeltl, PS, SB, RJ, IQ was a nice starting 5 to build a bench around. All it takes is one injury for the entire roster to crumble. Hopefully players will step up and Darko will play them ie Boucher.

  2. I knew I when it happened. He’s done for the season. No more chasing wins, development time for us the rest of the year. That’s fine. Hopefully it heals up properly.

  3. If Barnes is not going to be 100% then just shut him down for the season. I don’t think some fans are really understanding how things are starting to line up in our favor even with this injury. The Raptors should give the keys to the young bucks and let them develop with hope’s of keeping our draft pick. Sign Carton to another 10 day and give the keys to RJ, Quickley, Dick, Agbaji, Freeman Liberty, ect and let them develop. This could be the biggest W because some of you might not know this but that pick the Pacers gave us in the Pascal trade is starting to look more and more interesting. The Pacers have been dropping in the standings and that pick is now sitting at 15 in the draft. If they keep dropping and fall out of the playoffs that pick could be a lottery pick. Getting 2 lottery picks in the draft would be a W after losing Fred for nothing and making the Pascal trade make more sense. Impatient, short sighted fans won’t get it though.

  4. Its gonna be ok, we are in a state of development anyway, now we can really see what we have in some of these guys. Give a chance to develop our guards. Quickley IS getting better in terms of running the offense, he will learn to balance getting his own shot just hitting it consistently. My hope for him is just trusting his handle more and finding his floater mid game more, something like a Steve Nash, be more aggressive in finding his offense. I'm hoping Marquis Noel to find his place on the team over the next year as well once he gets back from injury. we need the PG depth, we need guys that the ball can play through, esp if we are losing Scottie for the season.

  5. Actually it is good news. Now they can tank and get that good draft pick and the young guys can getr more experience

  6. The Raptors were looking great of late and I have no doubt they would steal the last playoff spot from Atlanta with our boy Scottie. As it stands now, even missing 10 games will hinder our chances significantly if not entirely.

  7. Sucks to hear about Scottie hope he takes the time to make a full recovery and doesn't try to come back to soon. Best wishes to him

  8. Dudes saying it’s a good thing are fools.. you never want a player getting injured

    Give your heads a shake.

  9. time for next man up. Lets hope he doesnt require surgery, Ive had hand surgery albeit im not rich or important like SB and my hand injury was pretty severe compared to his, hand surgery can be a funny thing compared to other areas of the body.

  10. I'm interested in seeing how Quickley produces without Barnes. We need a stable guard at that position and I'm not sure he's that dude.

  11. Sad to see Him Hurt But Thing's happen for a reason. God can turn around bad into good. I hope we focus on developing the group and hopefully we can still keep our pick.. I believe we will look back and see the good from this.

  12. Start tanking hard. I wanna see Jakub bringing up the ball and quickly playing defensive in the post

  13. Which hand?? First he grabbed his right then 5 seconds later it was his left. Oh the drama..

  14. Scottie is going to be missed bigtime but I'm sure someone else will step up go Raps go from way up north Timmins Ontario Canada 🙂🏀🍁🇨🇦

  15. Yeah he's out for the season. I'd say tank, but we want Grady to play in a competitive environment. So it will be interesting to see what they do going forward.

    There is no way he hurt his hand on the rim. Had to have happened earlier.
