Funny you hate on him but yet he's a better 3pt shooter than your boy Jokic

News flash Jokic is not a good 3pt shooter. I am amazed that players go for his fakes. Not consistent at all.


You said Barton was a terrible 3pt shooter when he's clearly not

You're wrong

He is not consistent so no he is not a good 3pt shooter. He goes on hot streaks but most of the time he is terrible. So I stand by my comment

His basketball iq is a lot to desire for. He makes bad decision's all the time, he's awful defensive player. Basically he's the minus player on the court.

38% on the season is terrible?

Anyways I see him on the Suns/Mavs/Nuggets

Look at his career shooting then look at this years 38 percent(on what volume?) and ask yourself what kind of 3pt shooter he is?
Hint not a good one.


Moving goalposts methinks.

Nope I am not. He is terrible. I hate streaky players who shoot average or under average percentages. The variances is what kills. You can’t rely on his shot. Give me a an average shooter who shoots average. If that makes any sense to you.

You went from terrible to not a good one. That is moving goalposts and it's not really arguable.

Will Barton is a career 35.5% shooter from distance. He is shooting 38% this season. League average is 36% in the 22-23 season. He has been above the league average mark in 6 out of the last 7 seasons. Variance is what kills you but we're talking about a shot with a LONG history of variance. What you're saying doesn't make any sense at all.

He is terrible. Streaky shooters who shoot average or below averages are terrible shooters. You can’t rely on them. That’s my opinion. I am not moving any goalposts

His numbers say he's ok, but if you had to watch him all season you'd be pulling your hair out on most of the nights. :D

He has literally shot above league average 6 out of the last 7 seasons.

he's an ok 3 PT shooter but he's a terrible selfish player who plays no defense, has tunnel vision and sure he is Kobe despite being old and not very good to begin with

you absoultely do not want him on the Bucks, he's a liability on the court, a net negative and is also a chucker and loser
The Bucks are stacked, you don't want him taking mins from better players like Ingles or pat or whomever

No, I want him on the Bucks, because we desperately need someone off the pine who can come in and actually generate his own looks off the bounce when situations call for it. It's the one gaping hole in our roster and it was painfully evident in last year's series vs. Boston.

I'm not worried about his defense, we have enough on that end of the floor to mitigate his shortcomings. There are just too many lineups with players who lack offensive versatility, having a guy like Barton to take some of the pressure off as a creator would help.

Yeah I don't think it is generally understood that you have to not play someone to play someone else, so we just want everybody on our team. Just to have, you know, the more the merrier.

You will be disappointed. With his inconsistency you will regret it. Trust me.

Right, it's not like you haven't seen me pine for a shot creator over and over and over again for the last two years, but sure, I just want everybody on the team. :roll:

Eric Bledsoe is still free and he's better than Jrue I've been told. Bucks should just sign him and lock up the title.

Such a poor IQ player.
Only for tanking teams and out of the league in a few years. He will definitely have a career in euroleague afterwards.

Nah, I won't be, if I expect inconsistency in the type of role he'll be in. It's the nature of being an off the bench gunner. Why would I hold that guy to this gold standard of consistency, when that type of consistency makes stars and all-stars in this league? Adjust expectations for different actions.

Three point shot with a long history of variance? Adjust expectations.
Bench scorer? Adjust expectations.

This isn't hard.

Again, you were not told this, and it's been pointed out by others when you've repeated this troll drivel.

Go ahead and let me know what Jrue's shooting splits are in the playoffs as a Milwaukee Buck, and then just take a seat.

Why are some of ya'll just evaluating this man on his three point percentage lol? There's a reason the Nuggets got rid of him and the Wizards are buying him out. He's one of those guys that if he's not shooting lights out he's worthless.
