"Those are the small moments I'm looking for; attacking things that we've seen throughout the year that have given us issues, especially from a team like this that has a built-in cross-match team with Barnes being a guy that can guard everybody and Poeltl being a high, high IQ center that just kind of roams around."
"Having a player who can guard a team's three leading scorers, who all play very different positions and styles of basketball, is an invaluable asset. It is also why Barnes should have an All-Defensive Team on his resume soon."
The Raptors lost 121-115 to the Nuggets but retained momentum from previous wins. Coach David Adelman praised Scottie Barnes for his playmaking and the Raptors' defense. Barnes effectively guarded key Nuggets players, demonstrating his versatility. The Raptors' roster features significant size, with several players over 6'8", allowing for defensive flexibility. This combination of size and Barnes's skills enables the team to switch effectively and challenge opponents with various defensive strategies.
