During that stretch, Barton flashed his potential, averaging 16.3 points (on 47 percent shooting), 7.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.7 steals in 37.1 minutes. Included in that span was a 22-point, 13-board, and six-assist performance, the only such line by a reserve player in the NBA in 2012-13. Nevertheless, Barton will utilize the summer to improve a non-existent three-point shot -- he hit 13.8 percent from deep this season -- as well as add five-to-10 pounds to his slight 6-6, 185 frame.","date":"Mon Apr 22"},"fullName":"Will Barton","playerRater30DAY":0.7,"playerRater15DAY":5.8,"positionRank":67}
