2020-21 Denver Nuggets Guy to Watch: Will Barton

Will Barton is coming off of an injury-stunted 2020 campaign, but he was really showing something special before then. On a Denver team that is an on-paper threat to the crown, Barton is probably the fourth option. He’ll be the Nuggets’ sixth man and get an opportunity to show off his athleticism on both ends of the floor. He’s a threat from anywhere on the court and has a first step that can cut with the best of them. He turns 30 on January 6th, so he’s no spring chicken. When he’s on the floor with Nikola Jokic, watch for Barton to move up on the shoulder for a triple threat option that can punish.
