The thing I like about Barnes more than anything else right now is that he competes

defensively. IT's something that never really stood out in college. But the dude never takes a play off defensively.

Couple that with the fact that he looks to have all the tools to be a complete offensive player with a nice looking stroke and good strength to score in the post.

This guy has got to be a bigger part of things offensively. He needs to move past Klay on the priority list. Klay is shooting 40% and that percentage will go up as he gets fewer, better shots. Barnes has got to be a bigger part of things. In the last game, we never posted him up. Not once. Makes no sense IMO.

Barnes has earned more PT, especially at the end of games. - Zeke from Cabin Creek 2013-01-11 11:32:06 (23 views)

Yep and I like the fact that he's does not take bad shots as does not have the mentality of a gunner - U-Trains #116 2013-01-11 11:24:22 (44 views)

Big reason I'd like to see him with the 2nd unit: when he scores more - PNQ 2013-01-11 11:17:41 (49 views)

All good points Fanatic!..agree completely - Webberscurse 2013-01-11 10:22:05 (29 views)

I love that he shows up in 4th quarters, but he makes a lot of costly mistakes right now - nate 2013-01-11 09:18:18 (38 views)

Unfortunately not in most 4ths ;( - BC 2013-01-11 10:28:25 (22 views)

Where are you seeing mistakes? - gsfanatic1 2013-01-11 10:14:37 (27 views)

I don't see a ton of flat out mistakes - Lonestar 2013-01-11 10:45:32 (45 views)

Most of the mistakes I see are him losing his handle - nate 2013-01-11 11:05:07 (43 views)

Yup, he's got to get low like klay and especially like curry // plus should dribble once - BC 2013-01-11 11:07:18 (37 views)

Out of all the players, Barnes as capability to be a really good defender - delsol650 2013-01-11 08:30:42 (79 views)

really like barnes too. re: future core, Curry and Barnes are 2 solid pieces to the puzzle. - rick barry's rug 2013-01-11 08:23:02 (68 views)

He doesn't seem that fluid a player until he turns on the speed. - Free Range 2013-01-11 08:21:21 (80 views)

Glen Rice was exactly the same way. Can't be much different if you're a true 6'8'' - Fred (departed) 2013-01-11 10:32:05 (57 views)

I waffle on how they are using him right now. - Lonestar 2013-01-11 08:19:42 (105 views)

They need to use Barnes more when the outside shots aren't falling - Faceless 2013-01-11 09:07:20 (64 views)

He also helps us avoid getting killed on the glass when the small ball shooters are cold. - Dick Nikon 2013-01-11 10:38:12 (24 views)

+1 - BC 2013-01-11 10:06:00 (22 views)

Yeah, I agree with a lot of that too. - gsfanatic1 2013-01-11 08:25:17 (28 views)

He DEFINITELY needs much more playing time. - playmaker 2013-01-11 08:13:02 (34 views)
