I feel like that is a mischaracterization, because Barnes is so versatile and multi-talented. He has the skill to be a selfish high-usage ball-dominant stat-padding offensive player who rests on defense. His foremost concern is team success, so he doesn't play like an offense-only loser. He looks to maximize what he can get out of his teammates, knowing that he can adjust his own game to make up for wherever their deficiencies are.

They have had a lot of opportunities to save money up since they weren’t a factor in the playoffs for a huge chunk of time.

Jayson Tatum was always a good rebounder, especially for a wing.
Since coming back this season, Tatum has been a monster on the glass. Six rebounds already in the first quarter this afternoon.

“That was our conversation. The way that they responded, the same way we got to be ready to respond (vs. Jazz). Come out with a sense of urgency, ready to guard” - Scottie Barnes

I promise you, not EVERY possession in the clutch has to start with a Brandon Ingram post touch.

The Raptors got 29 pts on 11/16 from Ingram, 31 on 11-of-18 from Barnes and shot a season-best 21-of-40 from deep but were whomped 139-121 by Rockets because of KD (31 pts, 11/19) and HOU's 64-29 rebounding edge. Rockets led Orebs 17-4. Raps 1-4, Rockets 2-2. Raps at Cavs next.

Collin Murray Boyles to me yesterday on how he fits with the Toronto Raptors:
“They have a lot of good scorers, they have Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett, the list goes on. They have guys. I feel like I can be somebody that can come in and be a handyman, do that dirty work.”

In the first place, RJ doesn't get double-teamed very often. Because unlike Scottie, he can shoot 3P and has a wealth of finishing skills, so he can move off-ball before getting double-teamed. While, Scottie's skills are immature, so he is easily double-teamed and stuck.
