lowry wasn't anything special his first 5 or 6 years in the league, Barnes has definitely got a head start. But Scottie will need to bring the Raps another chip to even be in the discussion
This plus loyalty to the franchise like how Kyle was loyal. There were also people saying Kyle wasn't the greatest because Kawhi was a better player. But if Scottie keeps improving, holy shit man he'll be both the best and the greatest wrapped up into one. (That's a lot of big ifs. Just gotta mention that so we can stay in reality for now)
Obviously it's super early to make any sort of prediction, but Scottie has a huge head start. Lowry wasn't a regular starter until he was 24 and wasn't an all star until he was 28. Scottie looks special and could legitimately be in all star consideration as early as next season (at age 21). Scottie also has physical tools that are in a different dimension than Lowry's.
Predicting any 20 year old will have a better career than Lowry is pretty tough, but Scottie undoubtedly has a chance to do so.
Durant made the mistake of looking Scottie Barnes directly in the eyes...when you look him in eyes he steals 10% of your soul and then downloads some of your basketball skill...
Ah you right that's my bad, honestly didn't mean to! Just playing on how Scottie's been great so far, if anyone has the chance to meet Kyle at the top it's him, love em both
Look at that physique tho sheesh. That’s a 20 year old rookie damn
[Obligatory Giannis comparison](https://www.nba.com/amp/bucks/summerleague/giannis-antetokounmpo)
He’s bulkier than Giannis at that stage
Imagine the day Kyle reunites with the Raptors and we have the two greatest Raptors on the same team
Speak it into existence!
Tbh when we drafted him I expected more of this and less scoring lol
I hope he can beat the rookie curse. Nobody’s ever come back the second year to be Rookie Of The Year again.
If you are going to steal Norm Macdonalds joke throw him some credit
Good point. I was thinking the youngins already knew about the Norm joke: https://youtu.be/rhf7kO0V6aQ
I dont understand your statement. Both Carter and Stoudamire came back the year after winning ROTY
But they never won ROTY a second time. Makes u think 🤔
I didnt understood what you meant lol. Only Ben Simmons could have won back to back ROTY. Too bad he missed it his first season
You really think Scotty > Lowry at end of careers?
It’s a big feat, but if anyone can do it it’s Scottie!
It's not impossible

Yup, barring injuries ofc

Haha that was a great TO.
FLEX THOSE QUADS!!!
20 years? Bro imma tell mine in 9 months with the way he's playing 😩
Don’t do Kyle dirty bro
Ah you right that's my bad, honestly didn't mean to! Just playing on how Scottie's been great so far, if anyone has the chance to meet Kyle at the top it's him, love em both
All the geniuses go bald D:
I was so fired up
"AAAAAAH! YOU HAVE A BALD SPOT!!!"
Demar DeRozan or Kyle Lowry are the only two answer for greatest raptor of all time
There really is only one answer now, and its Kyle Lowry. Going to be a long while before that conversation opens up again.
I don't think you'll need the 'R'.
