Honestly I'm a bit freaked about how TV/radio commentary brainwashed me into believing Suggs was the better pick. Barnes oh Scottie being Barnes future AS plus DPOY and maybe just maybe MV.. ✨️
This is a solid pick. Toronto will develop his shooting. This kid can be another DD, but can play defence. They both have same height. Can play the 2 or 3. Having him and O.G on the court. Pascal at the 4. Just need a center. This kid is excited to play in Toronto. This will be a Gem in the making.
DeMar is 6'7 with a 6'9 wingspan who came in at around 210. He was also extremely raw with 0 playmaking skills. He has always been below average as a defender but can play 2-4 now on offense (played a lot of 4 with the spurs) Barnes is 6'8-6'9 with a wingspan of close to 7'4! Which is absurd, plus he weighs almost 230 pounds already. Not to mention he already shows flashes of above average playmaking skills. He is a great defender that can legit defend 1-5 because of his length and strength (small ball 5s). The only similarities between DD and Barnes is that they were both drafted by the Raptors in the lottery, are very athletic and coming in with almost 0 half court offensive package and shot. DD took 2 seasons to start showing some of that mid range skills and about 3 years before some form of handles and 5 for playmaking. Barnes can dribble, playmake, play above the rim already and be a shutdown defender. His only real weakness is having a below average shot which really affects his half court offense. DeMar is the man for being able to go from a super raw prospect to having the best footwork and mid range package in the league, but they are nothing alike as players/prospects. Barnes ceiling is much higher due to his versatility and his defense. With that being said, I'm super hyped and can't wait to see him grow in the Raptors system.
@@AK-oc6mg Glad to see you took the time to do your homework. Most people who are disappointed are not understanding what this draft selection means. I'm looking forward to see him play in summer league. Should be good.
Pick the guy who is excited to join your organization. Pick the guy who wants to be a teammate. The way Suggs was up there clapping tells me he wasnt wantint to come to Toronto. he probably didnt bring his best to the shootarounds he attended and the team could get the vibe he didnt want to be here.
I saw it as he was happy for his good friend since they have known and played with each other for years. Suggs wanted Toronto, he only worked out for them, he didn't even bother working out for the Magic or OKC since be believed he was going to be drafted by the Raptors. He just had a really bad workout with them and the Raptors swung for the fence for higher upside.
Suggs wanted to come to Toronto . It’s the best team to go to in the top 5 not to mention the money. Suggs and Barnes are boys . They both wanted to come to Toronto .
He probably didn’t bring his best to Orlando either. Suggs couldn’t just shoot coming outta college and it got to his head in the NBA in his rookie season missing even layups
I saw that during the Pre-Season. First I was confused why he was picked because at Mock Drafts Suggs was selected. As soon as Scottie was called i was like Masai knows what he's doing
Rn hes a solid role player, his defense and passing ability is gonna help out or star players a lot. Not saying he cant develop into a star player, he just has to work on his scoring and imo hes in the right place to do so. I love this pick and the best thing about it is he looks like he genuinely wants to play with the raptors. IN MASAI WE TRUST!!!
Something special about Raptors and the 4th pick. 1) They had the 4th pick in 98, took Antawn Jamison(made all star twice), with whom they immediately traded for Vince Carter who won ROTY and quickly became the franchise player. 2)Picked Chris Bosh with the 4th pick in 03 and quickly became the franchise player. 3)Took Scottie Barnes with the 4th pick in 2021 and who also won ROTY.
Guys, I came back from the future (ignore the glitch in the posting date)….he will be the best player to come out of this draft and I have seen him even hobbling before a playoff game holding up the ROY
im from the future... scottie barnes will end up as a top 3 player in the league and will be a raptor legend... comment under me when my prediction has come true
Anunoby is the definition of a 3 and D player. Really good at hitting a 3 while being incredibly versatile and elite on defense. That's just his current bag. He's still growing and developing his offensive game beyond that. If Scottie Barnes develops half as well as 23rd and 27th pick like siakam and anunoby then he's gonna be a star at some point.
Defensively for sure. Hes definitely not a better shooter than og, but i think hes a better passer and runs the floor a little better than og. Im excited to see how he develops in a few years. Its difficult for any team to have even one 2 way player who is athletic long and guard all postions. Seeing that the raps have the potential to develop 2 of these guys in the coming years is amazing. Cant wait to see how all this unfolds.
And now Suggs is an absolute bust in Orlando, with some of the worst shootings stats I've ever seen, and Scottie went to the best player development program in the NBA and became ROTY.
reports coming out Suggs didnt want the raptors to draft him. He went and failed his interview with raptors and had a horrible workout and shooting practice with them. one of the reasons why the raptors took Barnes.
@@KingJaffeJoffer its either that, or he had a bad 2 workouts which cost him draft position. either way barnes being rookie of the year was the right choice, raptors scouting made the right choice. at this point suggs ceiling is a good starter, nothing elite. some saying upgrade josh hart type of pg at best. upgraded because suggs defence is a bit better than josh hart.
@@nicholasbarber3644 not saying you did lol. Suggs is a tremendous PG. but if Lowry staying and they drafted Suggs, that gives the raps 4 PG’s. Raps need size, and with Siakam potentially being traded, they need a PF . It all depends on what’s going on behind the scene, and this pick speaks volumes as to what’s happening with Siakam
Looking more and more like Magic Johnson. he even had this to say about Scottie “There’s definitely a lot of ‘Showtime’ in him,” Johnson told Murtz Jaffer of the Toronto Star. “He can do everything on the basketball court much like myself. He’s big. He’s strong. He’s physical. He can make his teammates better like I was able to do and he’s a matchup nightmare like I was.”
Scottie Barnes is gonna be traded. Raptors is going for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Siakam is gonna be traded and Raptors could get Wiseman from Warriors. 3-way trade between Warriors, Philly, and Raptors which means Raptors can even get Ben Simmons. Now you have Vanvleet, OG, SGA, Simmons, and Wiseman/Jarret Allen. Raptors can let Gary Trent Jr to walk and he get signed to OKC. Lowry and Wiggins moves to Philly. I am not an expert; this is just speculation.
@@kaleenmar53 You're telling me that this is not a contending lineup?? Potential Lineup: PG: Vanvleet SG: SGA PF: Simmons SF: OG C: Wiseman/Jarret Allen SGA fixes the number one option problem. Simmons fixes the playmaking problem and brings defensive energy. Wiseman/Jarret Allen fixes the Center problem.
Aaron Aleman definitely not a contending lineup are you delusional. Same shit as last few years a bunch of above average starters that won’t be able to stop the superteam of the nets or the strength of Giannis. Not to mention if we make it out of the east the lakers will be waiting with lebron, ad and russ. The best move for the raps is to rebuild and build a strong team of high tier porspects to match the modern game, athleticism/defence and three point shooting.
Coming back to this video to see who actually believed in Scottie
I did on my life I did
in masai we trust
ROTY now
Bro 8 months later rookie of the year

Nothing like Demar. He'll be better. Demar was also shorter and didn't have this kids crazy wingspan.
What your thoughts on his Summer League performance?
This aged nicely!!

There’s your ROTY folks, who saw that coming at draft night
Weirdly enough, I predicted him to not win ROTY but get into All-Defensive 2nd and the All-Rookie 1st.
I saw that during the Pre-Season. First I was confused why he was picked because at Mock Drafts Suggs was selected. As soon as Scottie was called i was like Masai knows what he's doing
Kid has passing and defensive vision. Gonna have to be in gym this summer working on his shot.
This is the right pick.
nuh that a bust pick for the Raptors

@Niddin Sriharan Really?
LETS GO SCOTTIE
Let's go scottie 💪💯
im from the future... scottie barnes will end up as a top 3 player in the league and will be a raptor legend... comment under me when my prediction has come true
I couldn't be more wrong then I was with this pick
At least he is happy
Rookie of the year from his draft class and ONLY NBA All-Star after 2 years from that class 😊
Can't wait to watch some positionless basketball
In Masai We Trust 🇨🇦 🏆
almost everybody was so pissed at this pick at the time
Scottieee 😎
This is the way.
Scottie just got injured in his playoff debut 😭 ROTY
Now hes coming back with a Vengeance! Roty forever!
When Raptors Shocked the world. over Suggs
The top 7 are all great... not complaining but I was expecting Suggs as Anunoby is similar to Barnes?.
I dont mind having 2 anunobys who can guard all 5 positions....
Did you just compare a shit 3 point shooter to an elite 3 point shooter?
If similar you mean defense then yes. Defense is never a bad thing lol.
Anunoby is the definition of a 3 and D player. Really good at hitting a 3 while being incredibly versatile and elite on defense. That's just his current bag.

Let’s go I’m hyped

yeah im sure lol
@gio...u right. I'd rather have barnes

yuhh yuhhh
why did they not draft Jalen Suggs kyle lowry is probably leaving to go to free agency
Or they pay Kyle Lowry
Maybe they want Scottie to play PG
Kyle staying, Siakam leaving. That’s my take on this pick
@@excellenceinrecycling4093 scottie is going to be a good player but jalen is a future hall of famer i aint saying scottie a bust

You better be a great player in Toronto. They were banking heavy on your upside leaving Suggs there.

Now a little bit of magic and Kawhi
ROTY
Three years later, he makes his first All-Star team and is considered the greatest acoustic player in the history of the NBA.
letsgoooo
im pisst of
Now what
Still want Suggs? lol.
masai sabotaging the team on his way out
Will hold you to your opinion
@Niddin Sriharan stfu are you a raptors fan or not, did you know Bobby picked it
Say that again, Scottie has 28 as a career high and is projected ROTY
LMAO
Stick to baseball
Scottie Barnes is gonna be traded. Raptors is going for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Siakam is gonna be traded and Raptors could get Wiseman from Warriors. 3-way trade between Warriors, Philly, and Raptors which means Raptors can even get Ben Simmons.

Hopefully your wrong because that trade is dumb
@@kaleenmar53 You're telling me that this is not a contending lineup??
Potential Lineup:
PG: Vanvleet

SF: OG
C: Wiseman/Jarret Allen
SGA fixes the number one option problem. Simmons fixes the playmaking problem and brings defensive energy. Wiseman/Jarret Allen fixes the Center problem.
@@kaleenmar53 Siakam needs to go fam. He will not fit well with Barnes LOL! Barnes, OG, and Siakam. You gotta be kidding me
