Expert Analysis
Matt LaSalle | Prep Hoops Scout
The floor general for Oasis, Barbara, is a smart player who effects the game in a number of ways. The 5’8″ PG is a pesky defender with quick feet and quick hands, and who has knack for forcing turnovers and turning defense into offense. Offensively he has no fear when attacking the basket, where he can finish with both hands, and is also a very efficient shooter from behind the arc.

The Oasis Sharks finished the season with 20-plus wins for the second time in school history, in large part due to the contributions of Carlos Barbara. Barbara is a true floor general who looks to get all his teammates involved, placing well-timed passes to shooters and cutters. At 5’8, Barbara is also able to finish around the rim in traffic against larger defenders using a layup package that blends both finesse and power finishes. Yet, perhaps the most underrated part of his game is Carlos’ ability to rebound (3.3/game), eliminating the need for an outlet pass and creating opportunities for easy baskets in transition.

Barbara is a quick guard who handles the ball very well and looks to get his teammates involved. He has a nice shot from the outside, but excels at attacking the paint and dishing out to an open man for the uncontested shot. He has a great first step and can beat you off the dribble, where he looks to attack the basket. Defensively, he has both quick hands and quick feet, and can be a real pest on that side of the ball.
