TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors have added Scottie Barnes and subtracted the point guard position from their starting lineup.
Barnes, wearing protective goggles with red frames, returned to the Raptors lineup on Thursday night for the first time since he fractured his right orbital bone on Oct. 28. To make space for the all-star forward in Toronto's starting five, head coach Darko Rajakovic made the unorthodox decision of having no point guard.
"Get the ball over half court pretty fast, just try to run, and then get into what we usually run, our core sets, and then basically just play from there." "I just think everybody, all together, played great having Scottie in the lineup for us. He's a special player." The Canadian's strong performance as a playmaker gave Rajakovic the confidence to go with a no-point guard starting lineup.
