Halftime Hot Takes: Rob Williams defies logic in first half

Scottie Barnes is a young Celtic Killer in the making

In the second game of the season, Scottie Barnes put up 25 points and 13 rebounds, dominating the Celtics as a rookie. The No. 4 pick is making an early case for rookie of the year, and more importantly a future Celtic Killer in the making. He could have the potential to join Ish Smith and Khris Middleton in a half decade or so.

Barnes started off hot tonight with four points and four boards. He also was a menace on defense. The writing is on the wall, Scottie is coming for the mantle of 2020s Celtic Killer.
