Both of them have to learn to be better players off ball

Like when BI has the ball what is Scottie doing and vice versa since they like to operate in the same area

I obviously don’t watch the raptors but does Scott atleast cut to the rim from baseline and move without the ball a decent amount?

He plays with a lot of energy but I haven't seen him do it consistently...plus hes more of an on ball player who likes to have the ball in his hands

I know he didn't shoot the ball great last season but didn't know he shot 27%, that has to go up too


Im Scottie Barnes believer though and think he's going to have nice bounce back season but I wouldn't want BI to be a hindrance to his development either

I hope they figure it out

Would you trade BI, Dick and CMB for Lauri so Barnes actually has someone on the team to pass to who can shoot and can take the offensive load off of him?

Why would Utah do this?

They have Walker Kessler and Taylor Hendricks, dont think they'd be too interested in CMB

Ingram and Ace Bailey?

Why would Toronto do it? All the bad things that apply to Ingram apply to markkanen. I dont get it. Has never played for a successful team, lack of playoff success/experience, injury prone. So why would we trade ingram and pieces for Lauri and at a higher price tag when you think Ingram is overpaid?

Who do you guys think Lauri markkanen is?

Who?


Like I said too Jalen Brunson is also one of the best pick and roll ball handlers in the league....hes not just an efficient scorer....hes also the point guard

Cam Thomas, Jordan Clarkson, Jalen Green ect....these are all off guards who dont nothing but score, nothing else....they dont provide additional playmaking and they aren't good decision makers/passers

Even if he’s point guard if you don’t think you can live with his defensive limitations on the other end you’d put him on the bench, or surround him with bigger wings.

I watched Lauri for years have absolutely no winning success, I have no clue why these dudes prop him up so much.

Because

1. Lauri is better

2. Lauri can shoot

Therefore he can fulfill a need and help the team in better ways than Ingram can

They both shoot the ball well. Lauri 37% career and Ingram is 36%.

How exactly is Lauri better?

What need does he fulfill for Toronto?

You're full of shit rn.

You're talking about the defensive limitations when its not really about that......hes a good enough player where you work around that and figure it out.....he does multiple things besides score

You can build an offense around him

The only reason you brought up Brunson is height/size......he doesnt have anything else in common with the kind of players that fall in the category of that video



We were strictly talking about off guards who do nothing but score inefficiently.......Jalen Brunson isnt an off guard and he doesn't score inefficiently
