not sure what Barnes does? Switchable on D? Not sure if he's as good a passer as people say he is... Not a shooter, that's for sure.

could be worse like Oklahoma fans though... Giddy? Guy can pass but also not a very good shooter
I watched a lot of him back when we were slotted 7th, and really loved him for the Raptors at 7. His passing is excellent, but not in a flashy way. He makes really smart, quick choices.

I think his best role in the league offensively early-on is as a roller in the pick-and-roll, where he can set a screen roll to the basket, and then if he receives the pass, either finish himself or immediately find the extra pass. If we do keep Siakam, I think those two could be an absolute terror playing off of each other if you surround them with shooters.
