"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."
"There's a whole other toolbox available to Dick, if he finds the key to it (his shooting). There's a reason both Bobby Webster and Darko Rajakovic have raved about his passing and ability to read the floor (I thought as much in my pre-draft analysis), and he can definitely play the quick processing style the Raptors like. He's also a very aggressive driver of the basketball, with great touch,"
Scottie Barnes demonstrates elite defensive instincts, strong energy on-ball, and advanced passing for his size, alongside top-tier rebounding (73rd and 94th percentile) and effective rim finishing, particularly off the catch. Barnes offers episodic offensive stardom via pick-and-roll play, bully drives, and occasional three-point success. Gradey Dick possesses notable floor-reading and passing ability, quick processing, and aggressive driving with good touch. Dick’s broader offensive toolbox hinges on improved shooting and further physical/NBA readiness to unlock consistent production. Both players present foundational skills and upside that can complement team play when their secondary tools progress.
