In a previous NBA regular season game, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Washington Wizards 132-102 at home. After this game, the Raptors' record improved to 12-18, and the ranking also rose to 11th in the EastThe Wizards, who suffered three consecutive defeats, slipped to 5-25 and continued to sit in the bottom 2 of the East.
In this game, the Raptors' starting forward Scottie Barnes (Scottie Barnes) still has a pretty good performance. He played 33 minutes and 29 seconds in the game, shooting 8-of-16 from the field and 4-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, with 20 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and a plus/minus of +10. Barnes has a comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, not only has a stable efficiency under the basket, but also has a very outstanding grasp of outside shooting, his passing ability and organizational ability are also clearly reflected, he is also the team's outside gate on the defensive end, and his defensive ability and defensive awareness are extremely good. There is no doubt that Barnes' excellent performance on both the offensive and defensive ends was also a big factor in the team's ability to win against opponents.
So far this season, Barnes has made a total of 30 appearances for the team, averaging 35 minutes per game and averaging 07 points 94 rebounds 59 assists 15 steals 14 blocks and 48 percent shooting9% and 38 percent from three-point range9% and 76 free throw percentage7%。Barnes' performances this season have been an astonishing improvement over the past two seasons, as he was a promising rising star in the attack, but this season he has become an all-round player who can play both offensively and defensively, and he has improved significantly in all aspects. Most importantly, his improvement in reading skills in the game has taken his personal ability to the next level. There is no doubt that Barnes is becoming the absolute centerpiece of the team.
In a way, the Raptors are a little behind in the development of Barnes. Barnes should have been given a higher tactical position and more possession last season, but his position in the team was somewhat awkward. This season, with the departure of Fred Vanvleet, the Raptors have finally confirmed Barnes' central position. In this case, with the increase in possession, Barnes is finally starting to find the core feeling, and he is finally starting to develop in the direction of a top striker. Barnes is undoubtedly a talented forward and with the extent he's improved this season, it's reasonable to assume that he'll become a pillar of the league in the future.
