Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-Imagn Images | Benny Sieu-Imagn ImagesScottie Barnes is the cornerstone of the Toronto Raptors. No one would dispute that. The more interesting question is who serves as the Robin to Barnes’ Batman?
The most common answer would likely be Brandon Ingram, who joined Barnes at this year’s All-Star Game. Ingram may very well be the second-best player on the roster. But the second-best player is not always the second most important.
That distinction belongs to Immanuel Quickley.
