The Toronto Raptors have signed veteran guard Will Barton, according to reports.
It isn’t a move that will shift the balance of power in the Eastern Conference but Barton, 32, is a well-travelled veteran with post-season experience.He averaged just 7.7 points and less than 20 minutes a game.
Barton is a career 35.5 per cent three-point shooter in 663 career games with Washington, Denver and Portland. His most productive year was 2017-18 when he averaged 15.7 points and shot 37 per cent from three. It’s hard to see where he’d fit at the top of a Raptors rotation but having a veteran who has appeared in 39 playoff games as insurance can’t hurt., just didn’t pan out on his one-year deal. He appeared in 42 games, starting 10 but shot just 25.4 per cent from three-point range.
Because the move was made before the March 1 deadline, Barton will be eligible for the playoffs if the Raptors get there.
