## Resource

Scottie Barnes had an outstanding breakout season in 2025-26, and his playoff performance was a thrilling cherry on top; does he have the juice to be a Top-10 player in the NBA going forward? In Episode 2106, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob talk about why Scottie was able to reach new heights as a two-way player in his fifth season in the NBA, his incredible postseason against the Cavs and how it should shape expectations for him going forward, the areas he most needs to work on going into next year, and whether he'll come into next season with a case to be ranked as a Top-10 player in the NBA. It's not as crazy as it sounds!
