Do you watch any Raptors games? They have no offensive rhythm it's a lot of iso sets with very little ball movement. It's hectic and not something that benefits Scotties style. And yes he's usually their 3rd or 4th option - but he has better numbers than Mobley while having an extremely slow start to the year where he was asked to run point and facilitate while they dealt with injuries.
It's about fit. Barnes fits a huge need on this team that Evan doesn't because we have Allen. You can fill the hole Mobley would leave much easier than you can with the hole we have at small forward - which you are seeing right now play out this season. Having a small forward who can create his own shot, is a very capable passer and is a plus defender would put this team over the top in my opinion.
edit: and because people are mentioning KG in this thread - real recognize real
Offense might be slightly better, but the defense would be much worse. No comparison for me
