Zach Lowe lavishes praise on Scottie Barnes
"Right before Lowe began to talk again, Mahoney chimed in with, "I think he might be a lock, he's been so good defensively, especially given where we're about to go with the rest of the Eastern Conference roster, I think he might have to be put in." Lowe said, "Let's elevate him and mystery player to eight locks.""
"He kept going on with more praise for Scottie. "He's at like 19,6 and 6, his shooting numbers are actually good. He has been so bought in defensively, not just defensively, you want me to set 20 screens tonight and roll hard? I'll do that." He ended with "If there's one Raptor to make it, it should be him over Brandon Ingram, respect to Brandon Ingram, but it's not even close.""
Scottie Barnes is receiving strong consideration as a 2025-26 NBA All-Star based on impactful defense, improved shooting, and all-around production. His statistical profile sits around 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game, with efficient shooting numbers. Defensive commitment includes setting screens, rolling hard, and accepting role-specific tasks that boost team defense. Comparative evaluations place him ahead of Brandon Ingram as the Raptor most deserving of an All-Star spot. All-Star Weekend is scheduled in Los Angeles at the Intuit Dome starting February 13.
