Barnes has become a key player for Toronto alongside all-star and all-NBA forward Pascal Siakam and NBA all-defensive team forward O.G. Anunoby since being drafted fourth overall in the 2021 NBA draft
His positional versatility on both ends of the court has helped the Raptors in different spots and against certain players. But his selflessness serves to mesh well with the style of basketball Rajakovic is looking to implement.
“First of all, he’s a willing passer, so when you put him in pick-and-rolls, he can see the court really well and will try to move the court around the pick-and-roll quite a bit, especially when there are open passing lanes. The third-year forward didn’t necessarily show the development that was hoped for in his sophomore season in what was a tough 2022-23 for Toronto.
“This summer I’ve just been working all around my game, just finding spots, getting to the mid-range, getting to the basket with different moves,” Barnes said.
