Sam Mitchell: Scotty Barnes has the potential to surpass Kawhi and is better in organization and defense

Sam Mitchell, a former NBA player who coached the Raptors, talked about Scotty Barnes on the show today and believed that he has the potential to surpass Leonard.

"He has stronger ball control and organizational skills, and better defense. He can defend all five positions. The only thing that is better than Barnes now is that his three-point shooting percentage is higher."

"If Barnes' three-point shooting percentage improves, he is likely to surpass Kawhi."

So far this season, Barnes has averaged 19.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.2%.
