What is the story about?
During Summer League action between the Toronto Raptors and the Boston Celtics, Scottie Barnes appeared on the ESPN broadcast (NBA TV Canada). At one point in the sideline interview, Barnes was asked about the potential addition of Kawhi Leonard.
Barnes immediately thought of the potential defence.
“We’re trying to take candy from a baby,” said Barnes.
Toronto’s defensive rating of 112.1 ranked fifth-best during last season. Barnes was a big reason for that, as the dynamic forward was named to the All-Defensive
Second-Team for his efforts.
“Seems very dangerous,” said Barnes. “We’ve got people everywhere on the floor, every position, that’s ready to guard.”
“We know what Kawhi can do out there. He’s going to fit right in.”
