Barrett slotted in at No. 14, behind LeBron, Steph, Giannis, Kevin Durant, Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, Ja Morant, Trae Young, Klay Thompson, Damian Lillard, Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis and Devin Booker. LaMelo Ball rounded out the Top 15.

The 21-year-old's Barrett's 3rd NBA season hasn't been a huge success, but in his last 10 games, however, the numbers show out like many of the other 14 players on the list.
