On the "No Chill with Gil" podcast, Matt Barnes revealed that he wanted his sons to play alongside Gilbert Arenas' son Alijah. He believed they could have competed for a national championship together. However, he respected and understood Gilbert Arenas’ decision to let Alijah play elsewhere.

"I begged Gil, but Gil wouldn't let Alijah play with the twins. I wanted the twins and Alijah to kind of play together because I feel like they could have won a national championship if they put his son with the twins and we had a couple other pieces. But Gil. I respect his angle and his point of view now, seeing the player that Alijah has become,” he said.

Isaiah Barnes has grown rapidly into a two-way threat. Carter, meanwhile, excels at playmaking and perimeter shooting.
