NBA: Predicting where the top 20 2021 free agents will sign

18. Will Barton

Despite coming off a bit of a season in which his counting statistics took a bit of a step back, the Denver Nuggets would be insane not to at least try and bring Will Barton back. It could get complicated b because of their cap sheet, but they should at least explore the option.

Barton is often one of the more overlooked Nuggets, but he is an important player for a team that has been blessed with depth. Especially with Jamal Murray’s injury, and the likelihood that he’ll be brought along slowly, Barton’s role with the team could. be even bigger next season.

Barton will get some solid offers on the open market but I still believe that he’s going to find his way back on the Nuggets, somehow or someway, next season.

Prediction: Denver Nuggets
