Willpower fuels Will Barton

(Brent Lewis, The Denver Post)

Ask around about Will Barton, and you will get more player comparisons than LeBron James draws double-teams. Everybody wants to peg Barton as somebody else.

"He reminded me a little bit of Gilbert Arenas when he was in college," said interim Golden State Warriors coach Luke Walton.

"He's our Vinnie Johnson-type player," said Nuggets coach Michael Malone.

Might as well throw in a Bob McAdoo analogy or a John Havlicek comparison while you're at it.

"I've heard all kinds of comparisons," Barton said.
