went and watched/tracked all of Scottie's post fades + step backs
not in that elite class yet, but really, really strong numbers for this being his first big stab at it - will thread my thoughts on it a bit

You should turn your Scottie work into a book “Scottie Barnes: How Scottie Barnes Became One of the NBA's Best Players”
even though he's shooting 43% against bigs, still good dev
right now he's trying to convince the NBA that this is a shot to be feared
And that means that Scottie isn't playmaking from here very often - but, the hope is that he's laying down groundwork right now for the future
it's essential he finds counters, and this looks like one
But, extremely nice to see Scottie harnessing his, in my opinion, elite touch (which could be identified by his post hook/push shot proficiency in year 1) and finding something to combat defenses fav coverage against him
