DALLAS – It seems almost cruel that Harrison Barnes can’t fully enjoy this week so far.
There’s so much to love – Barnes is obliterating even the most optimistic expectations with a blistering scoring start. He’s the Mavs’ leading scorer after two games, scoring 19 against the Pacers and a career-high 31 on Friday night against the Rockets.
He’s been fluid between both forward spots, taking advantage of slower power forwards when sliding up a position and overwhelming smaller wings at the three. He’s hitting shots after almost five months of not hitting anything.
