Scottie Barnes edged out Evan Mobley to win Rookie of the Year in what was the closest margin for the award since the NBA's current voting format began in 2003.
Selected out of Florida State, Barnes averaged 15.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists. He also proved to be a defensive stopper, often guarding the opposing team's top scorer. Barnes helped guide the Raptors to the playoffs, but suffered an ankle injury in Game 1 of their first-round matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers that forced him to miss the next two games. He returned in Game 4 on Saturday.
Barnes is the third player in Raptors franchise history to win the award, following Damon Stoudamire in 1995-96 and Vince Carter in 1998-99.
