J.J. Barea scored five points on 2-of-7 shooting (including a three) with one rebound and four assists in 23 minutes off the bench on Friday. The Wolves destroyed the Suns tonight so it's hard to read into anybody's performance, but with Chase Budinger (11 points, 16 minutes) looking fairly good it's possible there are too many cooks in the kitchen. Barea benefits from a solid schedule, but he shouldn't be considered a must-own player by any stretch of the imagination.
