Scottie Barnes, selected 4th overall by the Toronto Raptors, has proven to be a two-way star in the NBA with his dominant defense and improving offensive game.
Despite less impressive stats in college, Barnes' defensive skills and traits like effort and lateral quickness made him a top prospect in the 2021 NBA Draft.
Barnes has shown significant improvement in his second season, averaging 20.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game, making him one of the most valuable players in the league. He has the potential to become an All-Star in the future.
