Barrett totaled 23 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes in Canada's 86-79 win over Greece in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
Barrett was automatic from the field Saturday, and he came in clutch alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as Canada began their Olympic campaign with a win. The 24-year-old led Canada in scoring, and he will likely serve as one of the squad's top options offensively as Gilgeous-Alexander has already seen defenses swarm him despite a 21-point performance of his own Saturday. Furthermore, Barrett is getting a heavy dose of minutes as well as the opportunity to display his talents, coming in behind only Giannis Antetokounmpo in playing time in the match.
