OG shoot well enough to be a 2-guard?

39% from 3, 3 of the last 4 seasons.

I'm surprised to see all these Toronto depth charts with someone other than Scottie BArnes as the starting point guard. They drafted him as a point guard, and started him there every game FVV was injured last year. The plan has always been to develop him as a jumbo point guard and losing Fred in free agency just hastens that timeline.
If you look at the depth chart as

Barnes/ Shroeder/ Flynn
Trent Jr/ Dick/ Weiskamp
Anunoby/ McDaniels/ Porter Jr
Siakam/ Boucher/ Young
Poetl/ Achiuwa/ Koloko

you see the balance. i think raptors management is happy to go into the season with this rotation, with easily tradeable contracts at any level to accomodate a trade if they want to get stronger anywhere, or as opportunity presents. I think the work is done for the summer, unless Masai surprises again to get Harden or Lillard.

He can start at forward and still be the main playmaker, same as Lebron.

See, I look at starting lineups with a defensive perspective. We all know that Barnes is not manning up PGs.
