Jonathan Givony of Draft Express checked out the National Prep Showcase in New Haven, Connecticut last weekend. Here is his scouting reports on the elite players that were in attendance, including our #8 recruit in the 2010 class, Future Memphis swingman, Will Barton.
Barton showed off the tools at the showcase that makes him such a highly regarded recruit, but this paragraph from Givony’s article definitely raises some questions about Barton’s character:
“Barton’s body language was probably the biggest turnoff from watching him play, as he seems far more concerned with getting his own shots than he is helping his team win games. He would visibly pout and even proceed (on multiple occasions) to chase after his teammates following plays and yell at them for not passing him the ball, even on possessions that his team scored regardless.”
