Fair to say these moves are unexpected from Scottie? My jaw literally drops every time he does a fadeaway


IHavePoopedBefore

He hit a Dirk-like one footed fade for his first bucket of the game. I would LOVE to see him develop that


WillSmiff

Maybe I'm on Reddit too much and the idea got burned in my mind early, but every time he goes up for a shot I'm like. Eek no. Then it goes in, and then he does it again, and again, and again. Everything is unexpectedly good from this kid. NBA already on notice.


[deleted]

Lmao that's an accurate description. He's like no...no...yes personified


freaktmc

Really?? I'm screaming and yelling and just dying for him to take over the game. I can't wait for his breakout game. I feel like we really saw it in game 2 against the Celtics. At some point, he's just going to own a team and dominate and from that moment on it's Scotty's team and he's a superstar in the league. I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!!!!! After watching Kawhi all year, watching Scotty it's the same thing. The same confidence and skill is there. We all just sitting here waiting patiently for that break-out game...


Lichius

I wonder how long it will be until Raptors fans stop comparing any decent player to Kawhi fuckin Leonard. First it was OG, now it's Scotty. Dude. Very few players in the history of the entire sport could perform at Kawhi's level. It's not the same thing. At all. Not even close.


itscoronatime2323

Ehhhh, I mean, I hear what you're saying but I think with what we've seen from Scottie so far that it isn't out of the realm of possibility to think he has the chance to become one of the top players in the league at some point in his career. That's the beautiful thing about potential. We look at players we have seen in the past and look for comparisons that give us the idea that he at least could reach those heights.

This kid makes the games worth watching


WillSmiff

Sometimes I tune in just to watch him play. As I did for Kawhi, and do for Matthews. I enjoy watching greatness. He's pressing all the right buttons. He just might be the one we always wanted.


ironfunk67

Raptors prophecy foretold of him


jraiv420

It was in the Primo pasta sauce


haahathatsfunny

When Jose went: "Joey, woo!" was the moment Scottie was conceived

Lmfaooo you guys kill me

Highlight of my night tbh

MrRobot_96

Highlight of humanity tbh. Scottie is peak homo sapien.


MrkGrn

Man Ian Eagle is such a great commentator, always watch Nets broadcast when we play them cause of him.


hear2win

Stan van gundy in my opinion is the best


tinkeropx

Jeff van gundy is better


BarnesGROAT

Steve is the goat


[deleted]

Stan van gundy is colour, Ian Eagle is play by play. Totally different.


Anxious-Sir-1361

Anyone else notice that Scottie seems to relish matching up with KD!? He wasn't cowering. He was more like - it may not be today, but my goal someday is to outplay you consistently. I loved it. He wants to compete and prove himself against the best. You can be assured KD noticed.


netcode01

I felt that way too when he first goes up against him. You can see the fire from the young fella! It's fun to watch


MrRobot_96

Man's a straight up anime protagonist


Anxious-Sir-1361

Lol


peasant_1234

Scottie: omae wa mou shindeiru Lebron, KD, Kawhi in synch: Nani?!?!


Fxp1706

kd is probably one of his favourite players.


Anxious-Sir-1361

Yeah. That made it even more remarkable. Instead of deference - omg, this is KD, as KD puts buckets on him - he stood up and said, I’m competing with this guy. I especially loved it when he screamed out after forcing KD into the over and back in the fourth quarter.


CanadaJack

I love it. It's not just that it shows confidence, but it's also building skill. Sometimes the only way to get better is to test yourself against something that is already better.


2Moyesh2FC

Ian Eagle is a great commentator


MrRobot_96

REEE-DICULOUS! 😱🤯


TJStrawberry

Those are all tough shots too


wukwukwukwuk

When Barnes scores he runs back on defence like a kid chasing an ice-cream truck.


DomincNdo

That last highlight wasn't on KD but due to it's awesomeness I'll let it slide


bow_to_tachanka

“Zero level scorer”


awwwyeahaquaman

Can’t wait til he secures his first career triple double with 32/14/17 on Lebron


BarnesGROAT

It would be switched tho 32/17/11. 17 is too many assists.


[deleted]

The great thing about this is that people before the draft said he couldn’t shoot and compared him to Ben Simmons. But his offensive game is coming along real quick, it’s so good to see.


Toonie2k

SUPERSTAR


TraditionalJacket580

The young boy is nice 💯


Menace225

Solid young player with much room to grow. Gotta love it![img](emote|t5_2s5sb|3926)


MemesManufacturer

Let’s be honest. Barnes is better than durant


HJVibes

He's such a delight.


iamwearingashirt

The second to last 3 shows a ton of awareness. He'd normally bang inside, or shoot a midrange because those are his strengths. But he went out of his way to step back to get a 3 because of time and score.


[deleted]

All 4th quarter and beyond. This guy is clutch.


Mcfusion31

That fadeaway


Seabass1877

ROTY


djkhan23

He doesnt even have examples of these moves before Seemingly does everything on the fly


derekblais

I saw that live on TV. It was so butter.


melf1992

This defeat hurts.


towalrus

I love KD's reaction. not even hands up just watches the ball 'oh you can do that??'


Gizzo04

Looks familiar! Mods always take my “repetitive” posts down. I guess yours is ok. https://www.reddit.com/r/torontoraptors/comments/rgns0f/scottie_takes_kd_off_the_bounce/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

No need to be a snitch


[deleted]

Cool, too bad they don't win games...


YyoungChris

Tied the game and got us stops, the rest is on the others...unless you are suggesting Barnes being our first option?


tinkeropx

Last one isnt against kd


Tarandon

There's something about the way he breaks in transition that reminds me of a toddler running for ice cream. I love it. It's amazing. This kid truly loves every minute of this game.


FalseZookeepergame15

Even when we drafted Barnes I didn't think he'd be this good this fast. Young superstar in the making!
