Kohl Rast: J.J. Barea

“I have to give it to JJ Barea. Although he may not have put together the best season or made an impact every time he got in the game, he was very timely with his best play. When the Mavericks really needed someone to step up late in the season when Deron Williams and Chandler Parsons went down with injuries, Barea took on the challenge and played possibly the best basketball of his career at that time. For that reason I say Barea.” -Rast
