Making it to the NBA has always been a dream for Will Barton. Since he was drafted in the 2012 NBA Draft as the 40th overall pick, Barton has been able to fulfill another goal of his – giving back to the community that he grew up in.
Barton is a Baltimore native and recently returned to host a backpack giveaway and block party for neighborhood youth at Goodnow Community Center.
It’s always been part of Barton’s vision to come back and make his community a better place.
“It means the most to me,” Barton told Nuggets.
