Here’s Toronto Raptors star Scottie Barnes on how his role has changed as a defender since the OG Anunoby trade.
(via Toronto Raptors):
Reporter: “How have you seen your role defensively change since the OG trade?”
Barnes: “It changed a lot. It’s going there every night guarding the best players on the other team, just being able to focus on that, just being ready to take that challenge each and every single day. When I came into the league I always said I was a great defender, and every night now I’m guarding the best players on the other team. So just being able to take in that challenge and bring that mindset into every game, it’s a different mindset that I have to approach into the game.”
