Harrison Barnes, fairly or not, will be constantly compared to Chandler Parsons. Whether he lives up to the departed Parsons will, in large part, determine whether he’s a success or a failure with the Mavericks this year and going forwards.
Barnes has a lot of potential, and every tool you could hope for from a wing. He’s long, he’s quick, he’s athletic, he can shoot, he has a solid handle, he can post-up, and he can defend. Harrison Barnes is chock full of tools and ability. No wonder he was the No.
