Records
Barrett's high school sweep of all four major national player of the year awards put him in rare company, matching LeBron James's feat from 2003. His 38-point, 13-rebound performance against the United States in the 2017 U-19 semifinal is one of the greatest individual games in Canadian basketball history. At Duke, he set a freshman scoring record that still stands. He was the third overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft and has started over 350 games in his career, a testament to his durability and consistency.
