It bothered me a lot. I really don't understand why I wasn't on it. But it was motivation, motivation for next season. It was good to have an extra chip on my shoulder and just prove myself even more.

Barrett's rookie season was uneven. Taken with the third pick in the draft, behind fellow Duke star Zion Williamson and Ja Morant, Barrett's per-game averages looked good: 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists. His inefficiency underwhelmed observers while others worried about his iffy shot selection and lack of vertical explosion. But under new head coach Tom Thibodeau, with a better-fitting roster, Barrett is suddenly looking worthy of a top-three pick, with the potential to grow into a star, given his age and rapid development.

This season Barrett has cut down on his pull-up jumpers and taken more catch-and-shoot attempts. He has developed patience on drives, learning to put defenders on his hip, slow his dribble, and use his strength to knock over defenders near the basket. Through 44 games, Barrett is averaging 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game — modest improvements from last year.

He's posting a shooting line, which is improved but still below-average on the whole. However, Barrett's progress in Year 2 also requires closer examination than just his overall stats.

According to NBA tracking data, just seven of Barrett's three-point attempts have been classified as "pull-ups. Meanwhile, Barrett has quickly adapted to the size and length of NBA defenders. In his rookie season, Barrett would try to finish over defenders to no avail or end up taking wild, fade-away shots to get around opponents' contests.

The above clip is borderline bullying. DeAndre Jordan is listed at 6-foot, lb. At 6-foot-5, lb, Barrett shouldered Jordan out of the way without getting called for a charge. Likewise, Barrett uses his change-of-pace moves to poke and prod defenses while looking for passing angles. Barrett isn't much more than a decent playmaker at this point, but his ability to slow the game down and wait for windows to open is a promising development.

On defense, Barrett has the size and strength to guard three positions, and while he's not a lockdown, one-on-one defender, he moves his feet and makes good rotations. In a point, 5-rebound, 5-assist outing against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, Barrett had a stellar chase-down block on Russell Westbrook. Barrett's raw production shouldn't be ignored, either. Just 10 players have ever averaged before turning Barrett has made the leap from so-so rookie to valuable rotation player.

The next leap will be the hardest. Barrett will need to hit shots off the dribble to become a truly dynamic scorer, as the league's best scorers can.
