The Toronto Raptors decided to make Florida State standout Scottie Barnes the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, as they were so intrigued by his style of play and athletic gifts that they decided to bypass expected No. 4 pick Jalen Suggs, who was taken with the next selection by the Orlando Magic.
Barnes is one of the great unknowns in this class. While he has power forward size at 6-9 and just under 230 pounds, his game looks like that of a traditional point guard, as he is at home handling the ball, driving to the lane, and making key passes.
