5. Will Barton

Contract: 3 year, $10.5 Million

Stats: 15 PPG, 4.2 APG, 5 RPG

Barton has been a silent killer for years now, and is still getting paid like one. I will be the first to admit that Barton has been somewhat inconsistent and has been injury prone in the past.

However, this year he is proving to be one of the best bench players in the league. We all knew that he could shoot, finish in the lane and has crazy athleticism, but it has been his passing and rebounding abilities that have impressed me thus far.

Averaging 4+ assists and 5+ boards off the bench with a run and gun team like the Nuggets is awesome to see. Guarantee that Barton triples his pay come this offseason, and the team to get him at under $10 million a year with this type of production will be lucky.
