Scottie Barnes' metrics edge serves as irrefutable proof he's All-Star caliber
"Notably, Scottie Barnes stands alone as the singular NBA player this season to score over 800 points, grab more than 300 rebounds, and record over 50 blocks ( per Raptors PR). To be exact, as of now, Mr. Scottie B. has scored 842 points, grabbed 355 rebounds, and tallied an impressive 59 blocks. While such a feat is quite specific and might seem like a stretch to highlight Barnes' brilliance, it still places him in a truly unique category."
"The 2026 NBA All-Star starters were just announced. In the final fan voting tally, Scottie Barnes finished 12th with 434,763 votes, while his teammate Brandon Ingram secured the 10th spot with 512,837 votes. While Ingram and Barnes didn't make the coveted list of starters, there's hope that the coaches' panel will recognize that one, or ideally both, are deserving of a spot in the LA festivities."
