BLACK FALCON

I actually do have a question. Can we start load managing our unexpected franchise player? He is no longer allowed to revert back to the 16 and 6 guy he has been most of his career.

Also, can HB hold off Omaha Biliew as the best NBA prospect in Iowa history?
 
No questions here!! Barnes is showing what stability and a real training camp can do for a veteran like him. We traded for him at the deadline and thought he’d just step right in and make a huge difference but that’s very rare, unless you’re a superstar, and even then it’s pretty tough.
 
HB is obviously playing GREAT. But worth noting something I've been yelping about for a while: in part, he's simply getting more opportunity.

Last year his SEASON-HIGH in FGA was 17. Once. This from a guy who avg'd the 4th-most minutes per game in the league and boasted a 50/39/83 split. He was too often forgotten, and/or wouldn't assert himself, for interminable stretches.

He's now surpassed last year's season-high in FGA 3 times in the first 4 games. He has avg'd 11 FGA/game in each of this 3 seasons in Sacramento. (Per 36, that puts him 17th of 24 guys who played for them last year - behind Fox, Bags, Buddy, Hassan, Metu, Tyrese, Richaun... )

Would love to see him raise that to ~15 this year.

we have all been preaching for a guy that can play up to Fox’s level in scoring and we’ll be a way better team. Looks like Barnes is that guy. Now we need Fox to play like last year and this team will be solid
 
I know some on here have criticized him for not having passion, lack of leadership etc but I really like his calm, humble approach. Always seems to put team before himself when responding to questions.
 
I know Harrison can’t keep up the minutes and crazy efficiency. But a lot of what he’s doing doesn’t look fluky. He’s a good 3-point shooter. And he’s good going to the basket. And he is an improved rebounder. I hope he averages 15 shots a game for the season with a high volume of 3s.
