That reaction from Masai was pure because Scottie's reaction was pure. Masai knows, he talks about it, that players often don't know how world class the Raps org is. That the Raps don't get the respect they deserve. Masai is an intense guy.. Scottie matches that intensity. Masai is smiling like he struck gold. In Masai we trust.
MANNNNN!!!!!! I've watched Open Gym for years and that moment Scottie got drafted was legendary, what a reaction from him and the Raptors management. We're going to look back on this years from now , just happy it was caught on camera thanks to the Open Gym production! Amazing job
Growing up in Toronto I never realized how big of a city it is but seeing Scottie react to it you realize it would be a pretty insane place to explore as a first timer

That smile from Masai after seeing Scottie's reaction was as pure as I've ever seen from him. Dalano - "that's my city right here" - Yess bhai, this your city, get it.
I like how Masai said we need workers. He knew we needed talent but he was looking for highly motivated hard working players specifically. Future is looking bright can’t wait to watch this team grow game by game this year.
That's just it though that's our identity. Scottie and Delano have that attitude, they have that blue collar work raps spirit. We don't do things with style in mind, we go out there to outwork the other team every night. Hustle and play tough defense 💪. It's why we are such a fast break team because D comes first.
I'm sure the FO would definitely consider the opinions of Fred, Pascal, and OG when it comes to prospective talent. After all, those are the guys our draftees will be sharing the court with, and they've been here long enough to have an intricate feel for the team and its chemistry
Seeing a player hyped about Toronto is a direct result of winning a championship.Even more it is a reflecting of the pure hype and vibe of Toronto and Canada when they did it.
Feels like yesterday. His rookie season was incredible. Team was winning, vibes were high. And now today; keys being handed to a 22 year old in his 3rd season. Team is struggling now, but in time, I hope I can come back to this comment with similar feelings. 'Struggle now, live the rest of your days as a champ'. Let's go, Scottie
I just wanna express my gratitude to the creators of this show. Been watchin since season 1 and I never imagined that enough people were as obsessed as I was with the team that it would go on for a decade or more. Glad that it did and is. Keep doing what your doin.
Well done Raptor Organization, leading the league in professionalism, and work ethics. Hats off to all the people involved to make this the Best NBA franchise and put Toronto on the Global Stage. Congrats Scottie Dalano and David . Go Raps Go! 🇨🇦
Scottie Banres is the fucking future. He embraces Toronto and Toronto embrace him instantly. Management are infatuated with him. This is going to be a fun journey. He has allstar written all over him
Scottie Barnes is a Gem 💎 This totally made my day . I wasn’t having the best day thank you for this. Man how long can The Raptors keep Scottie ? I love Masai . That smile on his face after they officially drafted Scottie was priceless . 🇨🇦🙌🏀 I also like it when I I also liked it when HE said he used to line up to watch the Raptors play he’s from Rexdale and now he’s with the Toronto Raptors I think it’s just such an awesome unbelievable story just goes to show you ---if you work really hard dreams can come true
Came back to this after he won ROTY, what an amazing organisation the raps have, just incredible. I found it interesting that Barnes didn't shoot well in his workout but Masai had faith in their development team to help him. Does Masai ever miss? Massive W this guys a star
Maaaaan I love our rooks!!! Masai, Bobby and Dan have to be the best talent evaluators in the league. Great episode OG team, was waiting for the first ep with baited breath.
I like that how Masai keeps emphasizing that he is looking for players that have a work ethic and talent. And from the get-go, Masai brings up winning and going to work. He makes sure that his message is consistent.
Thank You #OpenGym amazing as usual... Couldn't wait for this release... Our rooks are joy to watch in this clip. Winning and Hardwork got you here and will keep you here.... #4 #ScottieBarnes #45 #DalanaBanton bonded right at the start... We will get to see #DavidJohnson more over time...

Gotta hand it to the front office. Suggs might have more of a fast start to his career but within a few seasons i can see Scottie using those genetic gifts he has been blessed with and his positive attitude towards people and life in general to become one of the best players in the league. It's a gamble for sure but draft experts who work for the media are often wrong
The little I saw from Banton says a lot, I think he has one of the best future. All I hope is no injury for these kids, they need to develop their skills without injuries until their prime.
I got a lot of hate saying it was for the best the Raptors struggled last season and didn't make the Playoffs. Now that we have Scottie Barnes none of those people seem to exist anymore.
The friendship that has already started between Dalano and Scottie is promising. That, along with Freddie having some true love for Banton, and what we've already seen from both him and Scottie gives true hope for the raptors future
I was so mad I turned off my tv when they picked him now he just seems so likeable and has that no fear attitude reminds me of my favorite leafs Gilmore and Clark
Masai talking like a true Nigerian father on Whatsapp
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scottie not wanting to get off FaceTime LMAO
I swear I seen you before, in another comment section. 😂😂😂

like a father watching his son accomplish a huge stepping stone in life, warmed my heart.
i teared up
lol scottie's reaction pumped him up
@@ItsJaynox I thought the same thing like Masai will take good care of Scottie .
Made me happy
Gotta love Masai's reaction to seeing Scottie be drafted
Scottie the most charismatic guy in this draft class without a doubt.
lmfao im dying at the way scottie is just so hyped while dalano is just chillin

And than Johnson was just waiting/hoping to get drafted.

Barnes has the perfect draft buddy, he knows the city and can show him everything.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
i feel like they so lucky. they still kids living their dream
This episode was epic.
As a Torontonian, it’s awesome to see Dalano Banton reppin’ the 6.
Keep up the amazing work @OpenGym
I was so happy we got Banton, home town hero can bring different energy
🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's cliche but you can't have 15 guys all wanting to take 20 shots, somebody's gotta grab boards, run, dive for loose balls and play D

We don't do things with style in mind, we go out there to outwork the other team every night. Hustle and play tough defense 💪. It's why we are such a fast break team because D comes first.
Great episode guys 👏👏👏
To this day, David Johnson remains a mystery
Never forget. We were in fourth last season before covid hit. We are stronger than people think.

He said it himself: "I'm so happy to be here. I really believe we're building something special"
🔥🔥🔥🔥
9:25 The moment Masai realized… he definitely made the right decision 🥺
that Masai reaction is priceless!!!
so Freddie has a voice with the team. interesting how front office mentioned Freddie liking Banton
I'm sure the FO would definitely consider the opinions of Fred, Pascal, and OG when it comes to prospective talent. After all, those are the guys our draftees will be sharing the court with, and they've been here long enough to have an intricate feel for the team and its chemistry
They were talking about his college coach Fred Hoiberg
Freddie is huge culture guy in this team
It’s Fred Holberg former bulls coach who was Banton college coach
@@gangtime8705 oo makes sense, its funny cause they showed Freddie showed up to draft work outs
I’ll always smile seeing Scotties reaction to getting drafted. Sums up his personality perfectly
“Winning - Getting Better!” Sounds good to me.
Masai's reaction to Scottie's Reaction is everything. Great episode! Thanks Open Gym crew.

That's why you're a leafs fan you're used to dumb decisions so you couldn't see when a good one was being made 🤣
My main take away from this video is Scottie and Delanos Friendship will eventually rival Kyle and Demars in Raptors lore and I am here for it
Been waiting for this all summer 🥳🥳
What a great scene in the draft room and the reaction after they drafted Scottie too
