Weaknesses:

For a seven-footer with a silky smooth shot, Barron has really struggled to hit shots for his career and this year was no exception. The career 37 percent shooter hit just 30 percent of his shots this year.

Barron has a pretty solid explanation for his poor shooting.

“A lot of times you get out there for two or three minutes and your three-point shot it just doesn’t feel well,” he said. “You go out and next time you come in two quarters later it’s just going to feel the same.”

The grading panel will take it into account, Earl.

It’s also worth noting that Barron failed to make up for his lack of shooting elsewhere on the court, failing to average “two” in any base statistic other than points, in addition to finishing with a horrendous Player Efficiency Rating of 5.0.
