Harrison Barnes is doing it: he’s averaging 20 points per game for an NBA team. I didn’t think it was possible. You didn’t think it was possible. Barnes didn’t think it was possible. Nobody except for Mark Cuban thought it was possible.
Born in a Barnes isn’t doing much besides scoring right now, but that doesn’t matter. The Mavericks have other players to perform the other aspects of basketball. All they need from Barnes is reliable scoring and maybe some defense or something. Would it be nice if he could get a good amount of assists sometimes? Sure, but then he’d be turning it over to much. See how that works? Barnes doing anything other than scoring is asking for trouble.
The comparisons to Barnes that Andrew Wiggins got are looking pretty good right now, aren’t they?
