Ignore his worst category (turnovers) and he's worth 2.93.
Boring in the best way, and now with more to do. The Kawhi trade cleared on September 2, which sends Ingram and Dick to LA and hands Toronto's vacated usage to Barnes and Quickley — Kawhi comes back the other way, but on a maintenance plan that leaves plenty behind him. Nearly 2.7 combined stocks, 6.1 assists from a forward and four-position eligibility is gold for a daily lineup, and 73 games is a real floor. The jumper is still the cap — under a three a game means the scoring tops out around 20. A first-round anchor you never have to think about again.
Scottie Barnes enters 2026-27 at #16 on our board — Round 2 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 19.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 34.6 minutes a night. The value is built on blocks and assists, with turnovers the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-turnovers builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 73 games.
