"He is unquestionably a very strong defender, and he maintained his energy and tenacity in a lost season where he was tasked with a lot of on-ball responsibilities on offense. He is an elite rebounder, providing extra possessions on the offensive glass and closing out possessions on the other side (73rd & 94th percentile). He's a talented at rim finisher, especially when he's able to attack off the catch rather than his own dribble."
"Lastly, Murray-Boyles is looking every part of a lottery pick, and a particularly high one at that. If the future of the NBA is going to call on players who can comfortably do anything, and do it with physicality and tenacity? He's very much a part of that future. The jumper is a question mark, but he can definitely drive the ball and move it on with the pass. The defense? Forget about it. He's clearly already a strong defender at the highest level"
An annual awards draft evaluates current player standing and future projections for All-Star and All-Rookie consideration. Scottie Barnes shows unquestionable defensive strength, sustained energy, and on-ball tenacity while carrying offensive responsibilities. Barnes contributes elite rebounding numbers, creates extra possessions on the offensive glass, closes out defensively, finishes at the rim off the catch, and functions as an elite passing forward with quick floor reads and diverse passing angles. Barnes has produced intermittent offensive bursts via pick-and-roll, bully drives, and occasional 3-point stretches. Murray-Boyles projects as a high lottery talent with versatile physicality, strong driving and passing, elite defense, and a jumper question mark.
