Barton's first game he looked like a second round pick. Must have been rookie jitters. Since then he looks like he could stick in the league and have a productive career. The Blazers did a good job picking smart, good attitude guys, imo, and got lucky Barton was still on the board.
I doubt it. What makes him good on D is playing the lanes, but at Pg you need to get up on the opponent and have good lateral movement, exactly wills weakness. But he should be solid at D against 2's. Get that dude some solid gold shoes. He'll be 6'6" and weigh 214lbs
