Will Barton

As polished as Murray appeared, Barton played just as poorly.

A pregame player to watch, Will posted a disappointing seven points on 3-of-9 shooting.

He didn’t impress in any facet, tallying just two rebounds and an assist (NBA).

Despite playing almost 24 minutes, Barton never took the reins. He appeared tentative on the drive, leaving several scoring opportunities unconverted.

Will should start most games, and all signs point to offensive excellence in 2018-19.

Nonetheless, he played tentative Sunday, and his grade reflects this.
