Why Harrison Barnes has succeeded, and where he can still improve

Jake Rauchbach / Contributor

Harrison Barnes is having a breakout year in his first season with the Mavericks. On both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor, Barnes is excelling and ranks in the top of the league in many statistical categories. His one-on-one, post up, and pick and roll play stand out on the offensive end, while defensively, just like his days in Golden State, Barnes continues to show his ability to effectively defend various different play types. As well as Barnes has played this season in Dallas, there are several areas in his game which, if improved, could take his individual performance and that of the overall Maverick’s team higher over the course of the rest of the season.
