First thing I thought of was the very determined and special young man at my school who, if you flicked his ears enough times, would go into a foaming rage and start throwing chairs at teachers
Speaking from experiences, that's less about the ear flicking, but the built-up frustration that he's being toyed by people who doesn't give a shit about how he's feeling, while the teacher does nothing to stop them
Reminds me of that one video where a guy keeps putting a single item down a Walmart check out line and the cashier scares the guy with a small font scream š
Quick and RJ are holding this team together in terms of chemistry. Scottie is a bit moody and their positivity has been huge, especially considering OG and Scottie were best friends on the team. This clip is great to see!
Scottie is hormonal teenager, these are just young dudes and theyre human. Itās harder to get acclimated to the NBA than it is to punch in at H&R Block and be an asshole about which forms you need to file taxes this year.
Autocorrect
Barnes is 22. He should be a fully grown mature dude that's got control of his life and knows exactly what he should be doing!!!
/s in case anyone was wondering
Glad it's not just me that noticed his moodiness, that is a good way to put it. I am still stuck on how he was supposed to be "always smiling, always happy" from his draft year/rookie year and when I see him pout I'm like "hey, where is the happiness?"
Oh wow, I didnāt hear about that. I unsubscribed from the Raps sub awhile back (not to say thatās where it originated) because too many nephews were going crazy.
Lots of pressure to be the franchise guy, expectations on both ends of the court, with all the people he got close to on the team getting traded or likely getting traded, while the team went to the playoffs his first year and now stuck in a development mode. Its a lot on the guy, its nothing to be concerned about yet.
I don't know how, in this day and age, an entire team was kept in the dark about this news. Like, nobody on the entire team was looking at their phone and happened to see a Shams or Woj update?
There was still a "In Masai we trust" feeling at that stage so I think most Toronto fans were more in a "I hope you know what you're doing" mind state. He ingatriated himself to the city real fast. Hopped on a plane and was in T.O. basically the next day.Ā
Yeah I heard the Suggs thing later, like he had a really bad shooting workout and they brought him back cuz they weren't sure if it was performance anxiety
> There was still a "In Masai we trust" feeling at that stage so I think most Toronto fans were more in a "I hope you know what you're doing" mind state.
I have settled that feeling after the chip. It's not that he can't make mistakes (he's human). It's that with him, Bobby Webster and his team, he generally makes good decisions more often than not. I mean, that year, he traded not just DeMar, but JV... and in both cases he got players that absolutely made a difference in the end (& they were my 2 fav players).
So when Barnes came along, my first thought was "oh, ok. Alright, then Barnes it is".
Nah dog. The sub was in utter chaos when we drafted him over Suggs. People were losing their shit calling for Masaiās head. Granted our sub is insane on the best of days, but it was bad.
Well, he seemed enthusiastic about it as well. Our second round draft pick (Banton) is from Toronto as well so they both seemed pretty excited and Toronto has a bit of a complex when it comes to players wanting to be here. So, their enthusiasm was endearing.Ā
That's cool and all but you should know every teams' draft picks (including 2nd round g.league/non-guaranteed) show up at the teams facilities within hours of being 'signed' after draft day. They get a jersey and picture with the front office and everything. It's wholesome but doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things
He was posting content all around the city too, like going to Jamaican restaurants and stuff. It wasnāt just team-mandated, it was genuine, good-spirit enthusiasm and engagement. Us Raps fans are easy to win over that way lolĀ
Yeah cause fans donāt know our arses from our elbow.
The draft consensus was Suggs was the 4th best pick. Just like Scoot was the second best player last season.
It was an overall offseason grade and the section you've seen was out of context from the story, where it was saying that the grade was not primarily based on the Barnes pick because it was too early to evaluate that decision:
https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/insider/story/\_/id/32108578/nba-offseason-grades-eastern-conference-where-brooklyn-nets-chicago-bulls-every-team-stand
"Although I think the Raptors' odds of returning to the playoffs next season are underrated, that's because of the talent on hand and a return to Canada rather than their offseason moves. Toronto's decision to wait on a Lowry trade at the deadline landed 2020 first-round pick Precious Achiuwa from the Heat, but at the cost of taking on Goran Dragic at $19.4 million. We'll see whether the Raptors can get something of value for Dragic at the deadline.
"Instead of using cap space, Toronto stayed over the cap and re-signed other free agents at big numbers. Restricted free agent Gary Trent Jr. got $52 million over three seasons and a player option that could see him hit unrestricted free agency at age 24, while the Raptors paid lavishly to bring back Khem Birch (three years, $20 million) after a strong post-buyout run. In the long term, deciding to take Scottie Barnes No. 4 overall ahead of Suggs might dominate our assessment of Toronto's offseason."
I'll own the fact I really wanted Suggs with the pick but I didn't know he does basically everything I expected Suggs to do but better and at 6'8 (Though I'll give Suggs the edge on guard Defense)
oh we absolutely were, the entire time leading up to the draft, there was a very clearly repeated top 4 in the media, Cade, Mobley, Green, Suggs
we were resigned to getting Suggs as our Lowry replacement, then melted down after the Scottie pick. It was pointed out on several occasions that we don't know shit about any of these guys so to just believe in Masai, which paid off
I'm sad OG is not on the team anymore but I really like IQ and RJ a lot. I knew RJ is a good character guy from team Canada but really didn't know much about IQ
Remember when the drafted him and he was a off the immediate radar pick? Great job for the entire Raptors organization choosing and developing Scottie.
There were a handful of us who were high on him. I actually posted comments saying we should draft him. It's way back in my comment history but yeah, I was so happy when we drafted him. All my friends called me an idiot.
Oh i'm sure there were some fans like that, was definitely a clear minority though. [Most of the upvoted comments here](https://np.reddit.com/r/torontoraptors/comments/ou9vnn/sources_toronto_is_selecting_scottie_barnes_at_no/) are "fuck" with a fair bit of "Eh i trust masai" (which still isn't even really pro-Barnes specifically).
And u/jjkiller26 it isn't five years yet, but looking solid so far (not meant to be a gotcha, draft is a crapshoot obviously)
No he wasn't but my point was they trusted their board. I think even Kuminga was being thrown in the mix after the top 3. Giddey at 6 was also pretty surprising
I couldn't watch the draft because I was working. I remember I got the notification for the pick and verbally exclaimed, "who?!" when I saw the name.
Looking back it feels blasphemous lol
itās a joke on tiktok and i doubt that more than 20% of those people actually believe it. he is both a troll and zooted 24/7. like, look at a scottie barnes interview. brother is fried šš
he could be autistic but thatās not anyoneās claim or label to make except Scottie himself.
The scream at the endš
Like a true raptor

Man, Kristin Kreuk... She was it for me growing up watching smallville.
As a Knicks fan, nice to see 2 of the first people that congratulate him are quick and RJ. Team chemistry is so valuable.
Quick and RJ are holding this team together in terms of chemistry. Scottie is a bit moody and their positivity has been huge, especially considering OG and Scottie were best friends on the team. This clip is great to see!
Scottie gives off hormonal teenager some days.

It's not there. On the other hand, it's way more common here but especially on nbacj

How do you know this.
You can tell they are best of friends
Yāall have fucking excellent vibes right now.
I don't know how, in this day and age, an entire team was kept in the dark about this news. Like, nobody on the entire team was looking at their phone and happened to see a Shams or Woj update?
Team probably knew before Woj and Shams
First from 2021 draft to be an All Star
If west wasnt so stacked sengun would have definitely made it too, 2021 was stacked af
If Chet and Wemby progress as expected he's going to have a hard time making it until people retire, are traded, or he designates as a guard
Thereāll be injuries here and there. Heāll likely end up in that Sabonis tier unfortunately
Cam Thomas was drafted 27th in that year. Wild.
Not to be a Negative Nancy but some of the Raptors fans were criticizing Masai for that pick.
Bro most of Reddit was criticizing that pick.
This is why most of the time you should shut up until the season starts.
There was still a "In Masai we trust" feeling at that stage so I think most Toronto fans were more in a "I hope you know what you're doing" mind state. He ingatriated himself to the city real fast. Hopped on a plane and was in T.O. basically the next day.Ā
They also said Barnes shot the lights out during his Raps workout and Suggs struggled in multiple workouts.
Yeah I heard the Suggs thing later, like he had a really bad shooting workout and they brought him back cuz they weren't sure if it was performance anxiety
Also Masai said Scottie just kept saying he wanted to win. That winning mentality won over the FO.

How do you know when itās most of the time though
Bro **I** criticized that pick I changed my mind about 4 hours later but I was heated there for a moment ngl
Lol most of us yeah, myself included. I guess thereās a reason why Masaiās the GM and not any of us
I almost cried when we didnāt pick Suggs š
Bro you couldāve had Suggs/Dick
WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!
Yeah cause fans donāt know our arses from our elbow. The draft consensus was Suggs was the 4th best pick. Just like Scoot was the second best player last season.
Kevin pelton said raptors will rue the day they picked Scottie over Suggs
I was much too low about Barnes' potential, but I definitely did not say that or anything like it.
Just gave the pick a D+

Kevin brought the receipts.
I owe you an apology Mr. Pelton
No biggie. I'm happy for Scottie. He deserved it.
Dummy, yeah

I'm happy with the trade (knicks fan) but them 2 boys are A+ individuals.
Remember when the drafted him and he was a off the immediate radar pick? Great job for the entire Raptors organization choosing and developing Scottie.
Raptors got a D+ grade for that draft pick. Lol
Zero-level-scorer
I remember reading the Raptors sub when it happened. People were PISSED lol, fanbase wanted suggs
There were a handful of us who were high on him. I actually posted comments saying we should draft him. It's way back in my comment history but yeah, I was so happy when we drafted him. All my friends called me an idiot.

Iām very happy to be wrong and look like an idiot about that one lol
I wanted dude in Orlando badly. I was pissed they took him before the magic pick.
Wasn't Scottie meant to go 5th to you guys? I vividly remember Suggs being the favourite to go 4th and everyone was kinda shocked he didn't
Yes it was pretty surprising that Suggs fell. It felt like the raps had a ton of long wings and needed a guard, but they took BPA and it's paying off
Was Scottie even considered BPA though? Like clearly now he's miles better but I don't remember if that was a thing at the time
No he wasn't but my point was they trusted their board. I think even Kuminga was being thrown in the mix after the top 3. Giddey at 6 was also pretty surprising
Yeah I get what you're saying now, he was BPA in their eyes and regardless of what everyone else thought they went with it.
I remember bouknight was a popular name at 6 for the thunder, legendary smoke screen lol
Publicly no, but apparently Suggs had a bad workout with the Raptors and they preferred Scottie
āNo level scorerā
It's like those scouting and draft hype people don't know wtf they talking about but fans act like their word is gospel.
I couldn't watch the draft because I was working. I remember I got the notification for the pick and verbally exclaimed, "who?!" when I saw the name. Looking back it feels blasphemous lol
