The Toronto Raptors have signed Scottie Barnes, the team’s first-round pick (fourth overall) in the 2021 NBA Draft, to a rookie-scale contract.
With the deal in place, Barnes is under contract through the 2022-23 season with two team-option years to follow, the club said Sunday.
Barnes averaged 10.3 points, four rebounds and 4.1 assists in 24 games as a freshman at Florida State last season.
A six-foot-nine, 227-pound guard-forward hybrid, Barnes was named ACC Freshman and Sixth Man of the Year, earned All-ACC Third Team honours and was among the 10 finalists for the Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award las season.
