On Friday, two days before the Nuggets fourth preseason game, at San Antonio, Will Barton was brought a stat.
Reporter: “Did you know you have a 16-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio?”
Barton knew.
“Coach told me,” he said.
But there was an aspect of it that he wasn’t sure of.
“I wonder when was my turnover,” he said, smiling. “I don’t remember turning the ball over.”
Reporters laughed. Yet, Barton was mostly serious.
“I’m serious, did I get a turnover the last game?” he said. “I don’t even remember getting a turnover. I’m just trying to go out there and play good basketball, make the right reads and make the right plays.
