Scottie Barnes' SUCCESS is 90% mental
Scottie Barnes is a player many scouts underrated. They saw his stats, his skills, and assumed (quite incorrectly) that he'd be a role player and undersized hustle big, only to see 3 years later that he's an All Star and one of the best young superstars in the NBA.
Is there something in the mind of a person that makes them more or less likely to succeed? The brain is only 2% of our bodies, but takes up 20% of our energy. How does the gifted and driven mind amplify results? How does Bloom's Taxonomy predict the success of late bloomers like Derrick White and Scottie Barnes, while predicting the failure of players like OJ Mayo and James Wiseman? Is there a bust formula? And why do the Toronto Raptors have an edge in identifying the prospects who are MORE likely to be successful?
This will always be a numbers game. It's about odds and outcomes. Outcomes can never be controlled. But odds CAN be successfully calculated so that educated guesses can be made...more educated.
