Shooting woes surface Sunday Barrett had 18 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-103 loss to the Lakers.

Even if he has an off night from time to time, Barrett should remain one of the Raptors' primary offensive options on a game-to-game basis.

Poor shooting effort Saturday Barrett logged 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 105-103 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Barrett started the season on a strong note with three performances of at least 30 points in his first four games, but he has failed to reach the 25-point mark in his subsequent three outings. This 13-point performance was a season-low mark for the former Duke standout, but Barrett has a big-enough role and shoots enough volume to believe this should be nothing more than just an off night for the six-year veteran.
