This is Barrett’s first full season with the Raptors after being traded to the team from the New York Knicks last season.

People asked many things after that trade: how would Barrett adjust to his new team and would he become an All-Star that leads the Raptors higher in the standings?

The Raptors are still struggling and are the 13th team in the East.

But Barrett is playing incredibly well and is giving Toronto fans something to be excited about.

What will the team’s path ahead look like if the front office adds more talent and retains Barrett?

Will Barrett get even better and build upon these impressive stats?

Barrett was an important part of the Knicks when he played for them, but it’s now obvious that he was capable of a lot more in the right situation.

He may not be on a playoff team like he was while in New York, but Barrett is performing like a man with something to prove.

The Raptors are not the team they want to be right now, but their future is bright if Barrett continues to play like this.
