Scottie Barnes accumulated 12 points (4-of-10 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds and three assists over 21 minutes in Saturday’s preseason game against the Clippers.
The Raptors didn’t make any significant offseason changes besides the Kawhi Leonard blockbuster, which should shift a considerable amount of the scoring burden away from Barnes this season. He made some tremendous strides from an efficiency standpoint last year and Leonard’s arrival should lead to even more favorable matchups on the offensive end of the floor. It’s worth noting that Leonard has yet to play this preseason, so we haven’t gotten a look at how the offense will run just yet. It took Barnes just over one half to record a double-double in this exhibition contest. He’s a borderline first-round pick in all fantasy drafts this fall.
