Advantages:
Barlow is a big, athletic interior player. He has a pretty good low-post scoring ability and finishing ability under the basket on the offensive end, he also has some footwork skills, he can also use the pick-and-roll to complete the score, his off-ball movement ability is also worthy of recognition, he can often get to a good position under the basket and use his advantage in confrontation ability to complete the basket strong shots, he also has a certain grasp of the mid-to-close shooting. Barlow's performance on the defensive end is also commendable, he is a very good backcourt rebounder, and his ability to protect the basket is also worthy of recognition, he can use his size and confrontation ability to become a barrier for the team's interior and cause a lot of problems for opponents.
Disadvantages:
Barlow's shortcomings are also more obvious. His ability to attack the basket and his offensive ability with the ball is quite limited, and he lacks basic shooting ability, and even his free throws are very bad. If Barlow is to create more of a threat on the offensive end, he will need to expand his attacking tools and refine his skills, otherwise he is likely to suffer from a noticeable loss of offensive efficiency when he encounters higher-level defenders. On top of that, Barlow is also relatively limited in terms of passing ability and playmaking. Barlow's ability to move on the defensive end has led to limited ability to help defend and switch defenses, and his defensive coverage is not particularly large, his range of movement is mainly focused on the basket, and he may be targeted by some faster players on the defensive end. On top of that, Barlow is indeed a bit older, he will turn 22 next year, and his improvement in the past two seasons has not been so rapid, and his performances so far this season have somewhat stuck in place, which also raises concerns that he may have reached his ceiling.
Expected**:
Barlow's draft pick is obviously not particularly ideal, and judging from the current situation, he may have a certain chance to attack the second-round pick, but this opportunity does not seem to be particularly great. If nothing else, he should be an undrafted pick in next year's NBA Draft. Barlow's performance so far this season has actually been somewhat disappointing, and his performance so far this season has even declined to a certain extent compared to last season, and considering his age, this may also be an important factor in his draft mess.
Individual**:
Personally, I think the chances of Barlow making it to the NBA Draft next year are slim to none. Unless he makes a big break in the rest of the season, he shouldn't be able to make it to next year's NBA Draft. However, that doesn't mean Barlow won't become an NBA player, and with Barlow's physical gifts, combined with his dominance on both ends of the floor, there's a good chance that a team will offer him a two-way contract and sign him. Such a big man is a very scarce resource in the NBA, not to mention that Barlow is not as rough as everyone thinks, and he also has a high degree of plasticity. Maybe we'll still get a chance to see Barlow in the NBA next season?
