The Toronto Raptors once again zigged when everyone thought they would zag, as they selected Florida State sensation Scottie Barnes with the No. 4 selection in the 2021 NBA Draft. As a result, the expected No. 4, Gonzaga point guard, Jalen Suggs, was sent to the Orlando Magic with the No. 5 pick.
The Raptors drafted one of the more unknown players in this draft, as Barnes’ skillset is one of the most unique we’ve seen in the last several drafts.
