Will Barton

Someone under the radar that showed a lot of ability this last season is Will Barton. He is my pick.

“As is my normal method, I am going to go with an underdog in the 6th Man of the Year voting this year. Will Barton came off the bench for the Denver Nuggets last year and showed that he is a major threat scoring the ball while on the court. Not just that, but for a shooting guard, Barton fills up the stat sheet incredibly well.

Barton may start a number of games this season but, if the team is fully healthy, expect him to come off the bench and provide a big spark to the second unit.”
