Scottie needs to be a force on the glass for the Raptors moving forward.
Scottie Barnes has given us back-to-back great games, showing up at big moments to give us a much-needed boost. Last night was no exception as he hauled in an impressive 17 rebounds! Continuing his dominance on the boards is key for our success going forward - pushing the tempo and making aggressive plays around the rim will be critical if we want to stay ahead of opponents. A good shot selection must also remain paramount; remaining focused on what's worked so well thus far will be essential in staying victorious.
"Rebounding Must be a Priority for Scottie
Scottie Barnes' dominance in rebounding should be paramount this season for the team's success. By exhibiting audaciousness and leveraging pressure on the boards, Scottie has the potential to engender his numbers in rebounds, assists, points and energy. Distilling 17-20 rebounds per game should be the apex of Scottie's ambitions during any rival bout.
At this juncture of his career, Scottie Barnes doesn't have to provide 20+ Points per Game; Pascal and Fred have that responsibility. What Scottie has to give us instead is a persistent endeavour on the glass night in and night out, with no exceptions.
Scottie's physical aptitude positions him amongst NBA stalwarts like Dennis Rodman, Moses Malone, Russell Westbrook, and Bill Russell as one of history's tallest tales of rebounding. He has the physical ability to be in that conversation. Raptors would be one of the top five rebounding teams in the NBA if he did that.
Rebounding necessitates exertion, dynamism, premonition, and cognizance—a vigilance plus insight into ball's trajectory, which predicts where it will bounce next. Scottie Barnes has the propensity to be a top-5 rebounder in the league this season. The Raptors can make a run if he remains focused and maintains his excellent form.
Scottie's progress on the glass will benefit him personally and help provide our team with the edge we need to remain victorious in our games. With proper focus and consistency, Scottie has the potential to become a premier rebounder and make an invaluable contribution to the Raptors' success.
To optimize board and assist acquisition, Scottie should strive to secure an advantageous space beneath the hoop rather than vaulting over competitors, granting him a better vantage point to pounce on rebounds.
"Rise To The Top With The 'Dirty Work'"
He doesn't need to focus on becoming a prolific scorer, rather he should stick with what got him drafted in the first place, rebounding and physical dominance. Being able to do more than just score is essential in helping a team reach championship-level success. it's important not to forget that!
