Scottie Barnes' metrics edge serves as irrefutable proof he's All-Star caliber
Boston Celtics v Toronto Raptors | Kevin Sousa/GettyImagesScottie Barnes is truly a do-it-all presence for the Toronto Raptors.
I believe many in Raptors Nation have recognized this ability for years, but luckily for us, it's largely been a breakout season for the 24-year-old star. As such, Barnes has been blessed with several honors already in the 2025-26 campaign, like a defensive recognition in December, and recently taking home the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week award.
Playing alongside his best co-star in years — since briefly teaming with OG Anunoby, Fred VanVleet, and Pascal Siakam — the duo of Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram has made for very enjoyable Raptors basketball.
