Will Barton has been in a bit of slump scoring the ball lately, but has tried to even things out by dropping more dimes than ever. That’s an admirable effort, but the impression I get from Nuggets fans is that he simply has too much ball time for how good he is. I can imagine…

I’m really digging this whole “basically no more timeouts at the end of games ever” thing that the NBA has implemented. The end of tonight’s Nuggets-Bulls game was great! Chicago makes a shot to take the lead, then Denver comes right back and makes another shot, and the Bulls have to try and do their…

Let us all take a moment to remember when Will Barton was in the dunk contest and lost really bad. Thank you. It is important to remember not just the heroes of the past, but also the victims. To be honest I don’t even recall the dunks that he attempted in that contest. Not even…

This is the first time in DownToBuck history where a player gets an assist as the commentator says with disgust “What a terrible pass!”. Congratulations Will Barton! You suck! Your crappy pass somehow resulted in an assist, the passing equivalent of banking in a three from the corner. Aside from that oddity, Barton had a…

The Daylight Savings Time switch always messes with me. For all you Euros out there, Daylight Savings Time is basically a mind-control scheme conceived by politicians who want to legislate the very concept of time itself. 2+2=5 and what have you. It’s bull poo, but if you want to be on time for things, you…

The Nuggets have two legit 6MOTY of the year candidates on their team, Will “The Thrill” Barton and Wilson “Ill Will” Chandler, but both of them have started too many games to be reasonably called a “sixth man”. Barton probably wouldn’t win it anyway because he doesn’t score enough points compared to the other players…

This performance by Will Barton seems really good, great even, until you realize that his closest NBA comparison, Corey Brewer, once scored 51 in a game. Then, you start to wonder why Barton hasn’t done the same, and the only conclusion you can come to is that Barton is a worse player than Brewer, who…

What is there to say about Will Barton? He’s such an average player. He doesn’t really have any outstanding characteristics now that he’s toned his game down a little bit, no longer resembling the crack-monster known as Corey Brewer as much. He’s having a decent year, but not as decent as last year. Here’s something:…

Nobody even realizes it, but Will Barton has transformed himself into a very good three point shooter in just two seasons. His first couple of years in the league, he couldn’t even muster 30% from the threezone, which is pretty much the unofficial demarcation line for whether or not you even get to shoot threes….

Will Barton is quietly putting up 13 points per game this season for the Nuggets. Very quietly. Really, extremely, super quietly. I don’t think anyone outside of Denver has noticed, and possibly not even anyone inside of Denver. Even I just assumed he was under 10 ppg on the year, because I never hear ANYTHING…
