Shooting was Will Barton’s weakness when he got to the NBA. But one talk with Kobe changed everything.

“If you get a jumpshot you’re going to be deadly,” Bryant told him in 2013.

Now, Barton’s the Nuggets’ all-time 3-point leader.

He spoke with DNVR about how he got here.

Bones benched after 24 seconds – fouled a 3-point shooter first defensive possession, missed a pull up mid range jumper and got subbed out

Fatigue is a concern: The schedule: 3 games in 4 nights + an early game tonight. Who’s in who’s out. We went through personnel this morning – this is a completely different team than we played the first 3 times – completely different players

  • They won 4 in a row before the all-star break
  • Challenging game because of how hard theyre playing and also because of the demands of our schedule

Anfernee Simons – there’s a small percentage of players that can take that many 3s and makle as many as he makes – 7.5 3s per game on 40% shooting

Nuggets have 26.6 OREB% on the season – 19th

29.6 OREB% since Cousins debuted 13 games ago
