    Yes. His low assists are surprising, but everything else is pretty encouraging.

    Nope, I remember you saying something about Barton having a really high FG % in preseason in another thread, so the %s plus ppg and rpg made it easy. And the Mo pick was based on the apg, and the ppg meaning it couldn't be Lillard.

    I think whats encouraging about Barton is that there has been improvement which would suggest that there is room for more improvement. If that the case then he has a better shot than I would have guessed at becoming a legit role player and I suspect trade bait at some point.

    I like Will. He can be really frustrating to watch, but he's still so young and there's a ton of room to develop. I think he'll turn out to be a solid player for us.

    I'm with you. He's a bit of a craps shoot and I get frustrated watching him sometimes, but he's great at a circus shot, and so freaky fast that he deserves a couple more years to see how he does.

    He has great instincts. One of the first things I noticed about him in SL a year ago was that he played the passing lanes very well and he has length. I just don't think the team should be playing him as a facilitator. He's not a good ball handler at all.

    Has anyone else noticed how far away from his body he seems to dribble?

    CP3 just took it away from him last night. It was like watching a grown man take away a ball from a 5 year old.
