Connor Barrett brings veteran wing size and steady two-way versatility to Valparaiso
Barrett, a 6'6" guard-forward from Chicago, gives Valparaiso a versatile perimeter piece with experience and a track record of efficient shooting, including 39.7% from three and 77.8% at the foul line in the 2023-24 season. He averaged 6.5 points and 2.5 rebounds that year, with ESPN listing him at 3.9 points and 1.7 rebounds overall, suggesting a player whose value goes beyond box-score volume. The appeal is his size, shooting touch, and swingman fit; the caution is that he projects more as a complementary connector than a primary creator, so he fits best on a team that needs spacing, effort, and positional flexibility.[1][5][6]
