Barrett, 6'8, SG/SF, Montverde Academy, Canada, 2000 At the ripe age of 16, Barrett was still far and away the best long term prospect on the World Team and showed enough to validate his current status as a prospect. Barrett's overall skill set could still use some polishing if he's to live up to the expectations he's been able to create with his unbelievable play at the 2015 U16 FIBA Americas, 2016 U17 Worlds, 2016 Jordan Brand International and NBA Basketball Without Borders Global Camp. With that said, Barrett was a bit up and down in terms of his ability to create in the half court, make shots off the dribble, finish vs length, and make good decisions consistently. His comfort-level at age 16 was quite impressive. Outlookīarrett wasn't at his best after a long stretch of games, but he was still able to show his impressive physical profile, gamer mentality, slashing ability, court vision and shot making with time and space.

Can really pass but has his questionable moments. Struggles to create separation and get to his jumper off the bounce without time and space, because of the nature of his release. ![]() Career 57.5% from the free throw line (92 attempts). Low release point, off hand involvement, set shot even on the move, wrist action is a little loose. Has shown he has a higher degree of explosiveness in the past Relies more on his length and ability to finish from different angles than pure explosiveness. Not as explosive around the rim in traffic as he is in space. Makes an effort to change speeds but doesn't do so with much force. Struggled a bit to get by long athletes thanks to his so-so burst (maybe due to injury) and very raw handle - loose, away from his body. Was slightly hampered by a lower extremity injury - had come straight from Dick's Nationals where he reportedly hurt his knee. Didn't look as explosive as he has in the past. Excellent upper body but thin lower body. Impressive overall versatility for his age given his tools, slashing ability, playmaking potential, and occasional shot making.

Struggled in drills but found a way to make shots when the lights came on. Capable spot shooter with time and space. Capable of playing out of pick and roll and hitting the diver. Can hit rim runners in stride or drop it off to bigs around the rim with great timing. Impressive passer when he's dialed in, especially in the open floor. Can mix in an occasional in and out crossover. At his best as a straight line slasher either in transition or the half court. Uses his long strides to step around help defenders and his length to finish from different angles. Makes an effort to play at different speeds and change directions, although he can do so with more force. ![]() Plays with a level of confidence rare for his age. Was rarely underwhelmed by the fact that he was by far the youngest player in attendance. Good athlete who is a tough cover in transition thanks to his long strides. Developed, yet still has quite a bit of room to fill out. Tremendous physical profile for his age. Barrett, Canada, SG/SF, Class of 2019, Uncommitted, 16.8 Strengths
