""I think it's going to be a little bit less than it was in the past, with Quickley, RJ, BI, and Scottie, all of them can handle the ball so they will be splitting those responsibilities this year" said Rajakovic when asked about how much Barnes will be on-ball. With the addition of Brandon Ingram to Toronto this season, it has caused a lot of curiosity about how the team will ingratiate him into the offense."
""Last year we had Scottie play on the ball a lot, you're going to continue to see him doing that, but also when he plays off the ball, when is a screener and roller, when he plays in the dunkers spot, it just allows him to get more offensive rebounds, and be efficient in that area. Scottie is a force for us in transition and the open court, his early seals and post ups,""
Scottie Barnes will see reduced on-ball responsibilities as Quickley, RJ, Brandon Ingram, and Barnes will share ball-handling duties this season. The precise split of touches remains to be determined. Barnes will still operate on the ball at times but will also play off the ball as a screener, roller, and in the dunker's spot to generate offensive rebounds and efficient scoring. Barnes excels in transition, early seals, and post-ups, using size and touch to create mid-range and rim opportunities. Pairing Barnes with Ingram creates difficult matchups when Ingram handles the ball and Barnes sets screens.
