After waiving Juancho Hernangomez following a disappointing stretch of basketball, the Toronto Raptors quickly agreed to a contract with Will Barton. A veteran shooter who has spent time on Denver Nuggets teams that made some deep runs in the playoffs, Barton seemed perfect for a team that needed more shooting.
Some were quick to doubt that a player who fell out of the rotation for another aggressively boring team in the Washington Wizards would immediately impact their rotation, and their suspicions were proven correct. Barton actually saw less playing time in terms of minutes per game.
