Beyond the game

Barlow is a pioneer of a new path to the NBA — one of the first players to leap from Overtime Elite, the professional-alternative league, straight to the pros, becoming the first OTE alumnus to make an NBA roster. A New Jersey native who took a non-traditional route after a prep-school shoulder injury, he has quietly built a career through patient development in the G League.

His identity is efficient, versatile frontcourt play — a 6-foot-9 forward who can play power forward or center, finishes near the rim at a high percentage (career .530), rebounds, and defends multiple spots. His 2025-26 breakout with Philadelphia proved he can be a productive rotation big when given the opportunity.
