NBA ROLE: VERSATILE, SCORING WING
A former second-rounder outta Memphis, Will Barton has taken the league by storm; an energetic, skilled and explosive scoring wing, Barton is must-see TV on a nightly basis – appropriately nicknamed ‘Thrill’ – Barton is liable to rock you and score on one end, get a monster block on the other end and then annihilate you w/ a cruel flush; great attacker: Barton is aggressive off screens & curls, uses his incredible handle to get defenders off balance & torpedoes to the cup if there’s any room; mature playmaker, Barton does well to hit the open man after drawing defenders in; good rebounder – utilizes length and athleticism to sky for tough boards; much improved long-range shooter; has gotten better as a primary decision-maker; moves well off-ball, always looking to cut; signed w/ Raps (2023) – steady threat for years in the Association: Barton’s had an underrated career on the wing
