This is MASSIVE for Scottie Barnes – Wild Nick Nurse Hiring Report | Toronto Raptors News

We have a massive update for Scotty Burns as he’s been selected to an elite group that could potentially make the Olympic USA team which could have a major impact on his career so we’ll discuss that including an update regarding Nick nurse which honestly is pretty wild regarding his coaching

Prospects after getting fired from the Toronto Raptors so lots of stuff going on today without further Ado let’s jump on the first topic of discussion the first thing we’re taking to look at is a massive update for Scotty Burns now obviously Scotty Burns has been handed

The Reigns is now the top guy for the Toronto Raptors following the trades of ogn and Obi as well as Pascal seak even though guys like RJ and quickly have been playing pretty good for the Toronto Raptors of late Scotty Barnes is the main guy for this Toronto Raptors group

And he’s had a breakout season this year I mean for the torona Raptors this season is averaging 20 points per game eight rebounds six assists shooting 48% from the field 37% from the three-point line which has been a massive step up from where it has been in previous

Season Scotty barns has unlocked his game in the offense and defensive end he’s getting more blocks per night you know he amping it up a little bit on that end the floor and that has been recognized by the national Olympic program of the USA now Team USA

Obviously fielded some of the best uh players in the NBA you know bringing into their group and they made a short list a selection of players that they’re going to be invited to the camp to potentially make that Olympic team and Scotty Burns was amongst that list as

Shams came out and said that the USA player pool of 41 finalists that will be used to select the 12 player USA roster for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris have been revealed and I won’t list out all the players all the players named on this list but Scotty barns is amongst

This group which is a pretty cool sight to see now there’s definitely some players on here that are more role players you know not necessarily every guy on this list is an Allstar but the fact that Scotty Barnes is a part of such a group and could potentially make

The Olympic roster is massive for his potential growth for his potential development I mean we’ve seen guys play for Team USA and come back a season layer and just look completely on another level you know playing around that level of talent we saw even Kyle Lowry dear Rosen in their past years

With the Toronto Raptors they really much uh talked about their Team USA experience as a thing that sort of unlocked their games to the next level I mean Anthony Edwards in just FBA last season we saw what that did now Fe Anthony Evers is one of the top dudes in

The league sort of took that jump from you know budding star to proper Bonafide superstar in the NBA I’m not saying it’s guaranteed that Scotty Barnes just because he’s going to play with this group is going to elevate his game to the next level but it definitely helps

And being around Elite Talent for an entire summer if he ends up making that full pod would be huge for the development of his career and frankly looking at the list of players Scotty Burns definitely has a shot at making that 2024 allstar game again you have

Guys that are probably going to be guaranteed locks on it you know if they end up staying healthy or if they’re interested and stuff you know guys like LeBron even though they’re older right LeBron Jimmy you know there’s a huge list of guys that it’s going to be tough

To parse through but Scotty barns is probably better than a lot of guys on this list just eyeballing it I mean at this moment in time Josh Hart Tyler hero Drew holiday probably still put him over chat you can make an argument over Ingram Kyrie maybe well Kyrie’s been

Pretty good as of late but again has had up and down times over the course of his career cam Johnson I mean there’s a lot of players selected in this group because it’s not necessarily the 41 best players in the NBA that are from the USA

What they do is they want to build a well-rounded roster so I think Scotty Barnes is a legitimate chance chance of making this sort of group because one obviously he’s a lead on both ends of floor he does everything out there that you’d want but two and this is the big

One even though he might not be you know top 12 most talented uh USA player just yet obviously still being super young developing into the league his game is very complimentary you know it’s a you guys like Draymond Green Ken 3 they’ve made these rosters in the past because

Their skill sets are built to sort of complement other stars even though they might be Stars themselves right Scotty Barnes can create for himself can get Buckets can space the floor can do all those types of things but is also someone that’s capable of being more of

A role player if needed to be he’s a great passer he cuts really well he just has an extremely high basketball IQ and does it on both ends of the floor so even amongst this giant list of players which again is filled with you know filled to the brim with remarkable

Talent I think Scotty Barnes is a legitimate shot especially if he continues sort of his Ascension over the course of the season to actually make this roster for the 2024 team not saying it’s a guarantee I’m not saying it’s a sure thing but this sort of uh competition this opportunity that he’s

Been given to sort of represent Team USA you know on the national stage you know it’s could be something that’s gamechanging for Scotty Barn’s future will definitely help that he’s sort of involved because we know how Team USA can sometimes not select some upper echelon NBA players because of what they

Regard to be fit or how they adjust the coach and all those types of things so I’m hoping Scotty barns ends up making this 2024 official final roster but the fact that he selected amongst the the 40 you know in this final group is a nice thing to see so congratulations to

Scotty Barnes because again this is something that could be huge for his development but the next thing we’re taking a look at is Scotty Barnes former coach in Nick nurse because we have a wild Nick nurse update now this summer this off seon I have made a vid on I die

Just how prior to Mike bu hoser getting fir prior to all this stuff going on I predicted that Nick nurse would be the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks I just thought the Fit made sense the sort of Direction and I’m a guy that’s been uh you know despite the fact Nick nurse

Ended up uh you know having a tumultuous last season or at least it looked like from the outside of looking in final season with the Toronto Raptors some shade being thrown back and forth between nurse C Jerry all that type of stuff I’ve still regarded Nick nurse as

One of the top NBA coaches in the league right now and I thought he was you know I thought it was a mistake to kind of fire him I thought it might have been a little bit rash now I’m happy with darkar rakovich I think he’s been a

Solid coach for the St Raptor team but Nick nurse’s assistant actually ended up getting the job for the Milwaukee Bucks rather than Nick nurse himself which came as a shock to a lot of people given the fact that bucks are a team that are in Championship contention why would

They bring in a rookie head coach sort of Coach a team that has Championship aspirations and then those Stakes got taken to a whole another level when they made a big trade for Damen lard this off season so Adrian Griffin was put in a very tough spot I mean we’ve seen rookie

Coaches have these Sinker swim sort of uh moments and Thrive right guys like tyo guys like Nick nurse himself were giving their RS to these you know new teams and end up thriving winning championships and stuff but then you have you know younger or at least you know inexperienced in terms of NBA

Coaching head coaches obviously assistant coaches are coaching Europe different places but guys like David black guys like Adrian Griffin now at this point teams with championship expect expectations just not being able to sort of hold down that job and yesterday we got news that the Milwaukee

Bucks fired Adrien Griffin and a lot of eyes pointed now to what the Milwaukee Bucks were actually doing because Nick nurse has been thriving with the Philadelphia 76ers doing a master class down there at least from everything we’ve seen from out of the Sixers World their third Seas East very close the

Bucks in the standing seems to be taking MVP Jo and be to a whole another level so a lot of eyes are turning to why Nick nurse wasn’t the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks you know last off season despite the news reports that he was potentially going to get hired there

Coming up prior to his actual uh getting selected for the Sixers job and basically you know it being the the right fit at least in hindsight it seems like well news has basically come out also that Doc Rivers has been hired by the Milwaukee Bucks which again is pretty uh surprising to

Some BS across the NBA but basically news has come out that Giannis AED tumbo reportedly didn’t want Nick Nurf League sources say now that the desire to play for aent Griffin is better described as a determination to play for someone other than Nick nurse nurse was someone

Uh was among the candidates that the Bucks had high on their list after five game drubbing to the number eight seed Miami Heat in the first round of last season’s playoffs but sources say that an Yannis Sant Dumbo wanted the Bucks to go in a different direction and thus

Chose uh to Champion Griffin and a lot was made about how Giannis wanted Adrian Griffin to be the head coach coach how he was supporting him that’s why Andrea Griffin end up getting the job over some more established candidates you know with some more you know head coaching

Experience but it’s not looking like the right move here now at this point so it’s uh you know with Adrian Griffin obviously getting fired and now Doc Rivers who again I think he gets trashed on a little bit too much I think he has done some good things over the course of

His coaching career has had some playoffs disasters obviously still riding off that Championship win in 2008 with the Boston Celtics had had some lows the Clippers has had some highs with these different teams too I mean doc river is a very competent coach apparently he’s been an adviser to H

Griffin but frankly it looks like a bag fumble by Yannis Anto tumbo you’re not wanting to play for Nick nurse and maybe all the 2021 the Yannis watch speculation had no hope it was futile given the fact that we had Nick nurse coaching this team so maybe we didn’t

Have Nick nurse uh Giannis would have came in different years that’s extreme probably wrong speculation but I like to think there’s a world where Yannis s was wearing a Toronto Raptor JY but let me know what you guys think about all this Toronto Raptor you guys

The best thing of this far subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already anyways I’m signing out cheers
