Do you guys agree that Scottie can be top 10 in 2 years

Yeah if he keeps developing his shot and we get a wing defender to take the load off him. We’ve already seen him dominate he just needs to do it consistently for a full season
I don’t think he’s going to become a 28 point a game scorer and it’s tough to be considered in that tier if you’re not. I think he can get to top 10 in impact for the team, but there’ll always be those that say he doesn’t fit because he’s not a proper lead scorer.
Not to say he couldn’t become that, but I don’t think it’ll be his focus. I see him peaking at a 24/10/10 guy that’s a defensive menace
No way Ja is top 15 today.
Let’s get him in the top 20 conversation first. Right now he’s probably top 30.
I think he certainly can, but it’s gonna be really tough. KD, Lebron, Kawhi, and Curry are all going to be out of the league within the next 5 years, so the lane is cleared for Scottie to replace one of those guys, especially if the team improves.
2 years might be too soon, but 3-4 I think so.
Going to get downvoted but probably not. Scottie is a good player but not actively looking for his own shot as much as he should. If he can get over the passiveness and lean into the confidence then probably.
38 players scored more PPG than Scottie this year. It will be really hard to put him in the top 10 of all players league wide unless he improves socring a lot.
Maybe but 2 years is a little too close imo. Especially since LeBron , KD and Steph don’t look like they’re slowing down much. AD will be 33 in two years, which isn’t really that old but he’s the most debatable out of the list.
Age can hit like a truck, so it’s very possible, however I’d be more comfortable in like 3-5 years rather than 2. In that time frame he could definitely get into the top 15 though, and I actually predict he will.
Just as long as he keeps developing, sky’s the limit
Hit shot and willing to score when he has mismatches. It’s gonna be a grind and I hope he won’t shy away from it.
He has all the tools and I am leaning towards him being a top 10 guy soon. He’s a Jokic type (unwilling scorer), he develops that part of his game the sky is the limit.
in no particular order Luka, Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Tatum, Shai, Wemby, Brunson, Hali, Ja, Booker, Chet, Mitchell, Bam, Ant, Sabonis- all of these guys will for sure be better than Scottie in 2 years
and then there are the guys who might be better, but are in a similar league – Mobley, Zion, Trae, Kawhi, AD, JJJ, maybe Steph (i’m expecting Bron to be retired in this scenario)
He’s gonna be top 25 in the league in 2 years, maybe top 20 – which is no slight on him, this so just a very talented league
Thr aim should be top 10-15 player within 3-5 years. That’s when he should be entering his prime. 2 years is unlikely, especially based on his style of play.
The original post is missing Ant Edwards
Honestly I would have never thought Brunson would be a top 15 player 2 years ago so anything is possible
His archetype could push him into the top 10 if he develops as a scorer. That is the only thing holding him back. You can’t be top 10 if you aren’t elite at the most important thing, but Scottie is already on his way there at everything else.
Eventually players in the current top 10 will be too old to maintain their top 10 form, exception being the LeBron bot.
Scottie definitely has a good shot at cracking top 10 in the next few years since by then guys like Giannis, Jokic, KD, Kawhi, or Steph would probably not be as good as their top 10 form and could drop to top 15
JA and Booker being on that list is silly
Manifest 🙏 He has the tools. He just needs the #1 mindset and the right support. We’ll See how next season goes.
Is Haliburton really a top 15 player for having one really good half season? I don’t even consider myself a Tyrese hater, but I’d take Mitchell, Wemby, Edwards, and Sabonis over him today.
Scottie Barnes is the face of the league!!!!
I think he can be top 10 next year. He was statistically top 10 for most of last season
He might but on another team, like Bosh.
The last 5 years have been pretty abysmal for the FO. They don’t pull a Presti and rebuild in 2-3 years. Fans are looking at a 5+ rebuild before the team is legitimately any good. I think that covers Scottie’s next contract.
So like, year 7 when he’s ready to resign again is the team good enough to keep him, outside just giving him the max? Or does he decide to go somewhere else to win, like what Gordon did after leaving a poorly managed Magic team.
Absolutely 💯
Wemby already top 10. I was a doubter but ive seen enough. Scottie is an all-star but not top 10, more like top 20.
I’d say top 25. A few things – his motor is great but he can often get in a rut and stop trying on defense
His mid range shot is still iffy
It’s definitely possible. His overall game is at a high level already, which allows him to impact a game in multiple different ways. It’s now more about fine-tuning and efficiency for him at a player level. But to be honest it’ll likely be more about our team record which will dictate if he goes top 10.
Sort of like how Haliburton was mentioned in that person’s top 10. He’s only been talked about recently because of Indy’s record.
Easily, his play making ability and natural athleticism is already elite against the best talent
It’s definitely possible but I wouldn’t count on it
