Scottie Barnes Rumors

While Brandon Ingram certainly would have liked to mark his return to health with an All-Star spot, here’s the reality: The Raptors desperately need both Ingram and Scottie Barnes at full power to make real noise in the Eastern Conference. And so long as they’re healthy, they allow each other to be their best selves. “I really do think that they complement each other,” Rajaković said. “They’re different types of players. There are things that Brandon does at an elite level and there are things that Scottie is doing … at (an) elite level, but they’re so different.
