During the night of Jokic's exceptional performance as he finished with a perfect field goal triple-double, Wil Barton's injury happened. Barton has been a key player for the Nuggets as he sets the tone for the team whenever he was needed. He can be a starter every night and he can also play off the bench and the results are the same. He always puts great impact in the game.

Last season Barton averaged 15.7 points per game and 4.1 assists. Denver saw him as part of their future and offered him a contract extension. Barton immediately decided and signed the four-year deal to remain in Denver. For me it was a good decision. He fits well with the Nuggets and he's effective in every role he plays for the Nuggets
