Scottie Barnes Appreciation Day: His leap, his future & why he's making the Raptors watchable w/ Katie Heindl

In Episode 1538, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about ascending Toronto Raptors star Scottie Barnes, who has been by far the biggest bright spot in an otherwise underwhelming 11-15 Toronto Raptors start to the season. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about what's most stood out to them about Scottie's ongoing leap and what parts of his game have been the most entertaining to watch and track in the season's early going. Next, they dig into the Raptors teammates of his that they've had the most fun watching him work with on the floor, with some thoughts on his play alongside O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Pascal Siakam. Lastly, they project ahead and chat about the types of players they'd like to see the Raptors seek to pair with Scottie for the long haul, and chat about why Scottie's play so far this year has helped to salvage the entertainment value of this year's version of the team.
