A look at Scottie Barnes in Toronto: his forward role, his draft path and the defensive traits that stand out.
Overview
Scottie Barnes lines up for the Toronto Raptors in the NBA, listed as both power forward and shooting guard. That dual forward role lets Toronto use him on the wing or inside. He can check power forwards and shooting guards, which gives the team lineup flexibility.
Toronto selected him in 2021 with the fourth pick following his college year at Florida State. That draft night set up a career that has included All-Star and All-Defensive honours, plus Rookie of the Year recognition.
When Barnes is on the floor, watch him switch between forward assignments and use his 2.06-metre frame to contest shots. His All-Defensive Second Team selection reflects that side of his game, and Toronto can use him to match up with opposing forwards.
