Whoa. Will Barton shot 9 of 65 from three his rookie year. I knew he was kind of an awkward jump shooter, really more of a slasher, but crap. That makes the triple he made tonight way more impressive than either of the dunks he threw down.
Barton has always been one of those “potential” players. He was pretty hyped up in high school and has only stuck around in the league because of the hope that eventually he will blossom. He did end up having a stretch with Portland where it looked like he might break out, until you looked at his percentages.
Denver has totally thrown in the towel, so we can likely expect more minutes, and thus more crack-addict dunks, from Wet Willie. Oh joy. Just what I wanted.
