Thibodeau said of Barrett, who played well in the game (who scored 17 points in the first quarter): "The way he plays (is good) and has been doing very well in the last five or six weeks. But he still has a lot of room to grow, on the offensive end, he has to better complete the next pass, shooting, he also has to face some difficult defensive tasks, accept the challenge. He has to put a lot of effort into maintaining his defense and at the same time has to play on the offensive end, that's what he's capable of. There are things he can do better and we don't want him to be satisfied and we need him to keep working. ”
