Will Barton

When the game’s on the line and the defense needs one stop, it always comes down to who wants it most. During the Denver Nuggets’ 93-91 nailbiter over the Minnesota Timberwolves, that player was Will Barton. Despite the Timberwolves’ 3-on-2 advantage, Barton hustles back on the play in transition, then uses his instincts and athleticism to block a potential game-tying layup in the final seconds. Barton chipped in 10 points, three steals and two blocks in the win on October 30, 2021.
