Leandro Barbosa

5.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 13.1 minutes per game

Leandro Barbosa was signed in the off-season to add an additional veteran presence in the locker room. His production is what you would expect of a 34-year old back up shooting guard. Though he has turned back time on occasion. Against the Los Angeles Lakers on December 9, Barbosa had his best night of the season recording 21 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals in 28 minutes.

The only knock to Barbosa this season could be that he is taking minutes away from rookie Tyler Ulis, although is that knock against him or Head Coach Earl Watson?
