To yall fans. Quit puttin so much pressure on this man an let em be an develop. Yall tryna rush to much. We gotta grind this out an in 2 years we got a real contender for years to come.

[tonywang]

Scottie I feel for you big guy. It's frustrating when all you do is set screens in our halfcourt plays and never get the ball when you call for it

[esosaomoregbee]

People say he needs to be aggressive even nurse but is hard to do that when he's playing with a bunch of role players who think they are superstars trying to iso very play. A players like Barnes thrives when playing team basketball cos he's a term first player. Nurse should get he's offense and defense schemes in order cos this is not the 2019 team

[frankjones]

Scottie you will be a great player as time progresses; we have faith in you.

[TalentedTenth]

am i the only one who preferred the team before Siakam came back. :( I really like pascal BUT there's something that hasnt clicked since he got back even when he scores a lot. Nick has to have a change in how pascal and Scottie are featured

[coolkatco]

It was good to see Scottie smile again. talking about the #Raptors905... Losing games are not sitting well with him either...Being a rookie is rough, but he is getting lots exposure playing all over the court.. I like that he is playing PG as well.. With him playing all 5 positions, he will learn the NBA games from all these perspectives.. It will make him a complete player.

Imagine what it will be like with #Pascal #Og #Barnes switching and playing 1- thru 5 when we have rhythm and chemistry with the trio...

#Raptors #WetheNorth chip planning

I think deep down, Scottie knows he's better than Draymond but he won't say it 🥰

[RaptorsxTwolveslife]

I'm sick and tired of Nick letting his role be setting screens for siakam and him picking up others scraps, it's frustrating ash, I feel bad for scottie bro

[ChrisDallasDualped]

Get rid of Siakam if you want to even compete! I've been saying this for years he is useless on the floor it's like playing with a man short every time he's on don't you people see this? He is lost and doesn't know what to do with the ball and misses more layup shots than any other superstar in NBA history according to Stephen Smith from First Take and that is true I mean look at all the missed layups day in day out!!!

[OrangeClay]

Scottie is a Lamar fan? A bit surprised but not really knowing that he's from Florida. I like Scottie even more now.

[chickenandduckz]

I feel as if the Raptors aren't passing to Scottie as much as they should, he's always either open from mid range or in the paint or at the 3 to drive in the paint but they keep ignoring him regardless when he can get us those easy points in the paint

[flaviusfilms]

There's alot going on behind the scenes. You can tell from the body language between Scottie and Vanvleet....and Scottie and Siakam. These guys are hogging the ball and practically bullying Scottie on the court. Scottie has to pick up the scraps because they do not run plays for him. Notice how the last few minutes of the game when neither Siakam or Vanvleet were on the court, how much more energy Scottie had?

I'm sorry but ball hogging Vanvleet and Siakam are stunting Scottie's basketball growth.

[Al-djwp]

Only advise I have for Scottie is work a bit more on interior defense, especially rim protection. Sticking to the ground and raising your hands isn't the way to stop anyone, and most of the time you even manage to foul the guy on top of not contesting the shot. You have to jump a little. Otherwise you are just a younger Aaron Baynes when it comes to rim protection. The same goes for Khem Birch. The rest of your problems are coaching issues. They need to give you the ball a lot more and let you go to the paint, that's how you impact the game and score most of your points. You are the best at that on this team.

[jacob-]

This man just had a double double and you ask him how does draymond green play

[craymay]

His ceiling is way higher than draymond. Never understood the comparisons.

[gameimprovements]

Because you started out with a Shaq level rookie season, moving you to the bench may crush you, especially since players came back from injury and changed the team dynamic that didn't work in your favor

[ronaldcharlemagne]

The offensive "genius" coach has things in shambles. He's underutilizing the players he has. GTJ and Scottie should have more plays set for them.

[meowthecat]

Barnes is so lucky to have such a high calibre superstar like siakem to mentor him lmao .

[yappydabbad]

Let this man run the point. Fred has no idea how to run an offense. He’s better suited playing off the ball

[kabir]

You can be better than Dray. Scottie, just need to be more aggressive. And there’s no doubt the training staff can help you develop that 3
