phatjonny2001 91 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Does he improve in his 3rd year (option was picked up by the Warriors) under a new coach (Kerr)? He's starting and played 28 minutes in his first game. Tonight, at the half he's got: 3/3FG 2-3FT 9PTS 1 3PTS 3REB 2AST 1STL (14+ minutes) It appears the days of iso plays for Barnes is long gone and he's playing in transition and spotting up for jumpers when he's fed a pass. In addition, Iggy's minutes aren't going to be the same as a result of his knee injuries and he's playing more of a point forward (backup) role for the 2nd unit. I guess time will tell but he's someone to keep on your radar if you're in a deep league. Link to post Share on other sites
brockpapersizer 12,244 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 He's the 3rd best fantasy SF on his team. I have a hard time managing he has value without injury or lives up to his draft pedigree. Link to post Share on other sites

westernrangers 180 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Solid points, rebounds and percentages, but no stocks by the looks of it so there's better players around. Link to post Share on other sites
Code of Hammurabi 4,375 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The Warriors are going to realize that the PF and SF positions should be collectively manned by Green, Barnes and Lee. I dont see a big role for Iguodala on this team for the long haul (and rightfully so). This will be critical for barnes getting the 32-33 mins he'll need to be relevent. Best case scenario is 15ppg-5.5rpg-1.5 assists with 1.5 threes with good efficiency. He wont do much in steals and blocks but there are worse options at the back end of a roster. He could easily best potential averages while Lee is out... Link to post Share on other sites

Kawz 382 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 He's a solid pickup for Points, Boards & %'s, but I'm worried about what happens when Lee returns and Draymond starts eating into his minutes a bit Link to post Share on other sites

I want to pick him up but I am worried about when Lee comes back. Maybe Kerr doesn't want to rock the boat too much and keep going with what's working. Why switch it up? Who loses more minutes when Lee comes back. Green of Barmes? Also when is Lee back? Any final verdict? Link to post Share on other sites

Raiiny 514 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yep I think Barnes will play strictly SF and less smallball PF once Lee returns. Unless Warriors cut all of Speights minutes at C to play Lee there which is unlikely but you never know. Link to post Share on other sites

GJDHouse 1,031 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 For Some reason, Barnes was dropped (and I picked him up immediately) in my medium sized league (we start 160 players each week). Any Warriors fans around here that can comment on the kid. Only 22 years old and enjoying his best season as a pro. He doesn't do anything great, but also doesn't hurt you in anything. Seems like a nice middle of the lineup type filler player that produces something on a nightly basis. Barnes is averaging career-high marks in points (10.4), rebounds (5.7), field goal shooting (50.6 percent) and three-point shooting (43.4 percent) this season. "I sensed that he was not thrilled and not happy," Steve Kerr said when asked about Barnes' role last season. "It happens to everybody generally, so you have to respond, and it was my job as a coach to help him get his confidence back." Now back with the starting lineup this season, Barnes is thriving alongside the Splash Bros. Most interestingly, Kerr revealed that he could use Barnes at power forward more often going forward. "I think that's when we're the most dynamic and the most difficult to deal with," Kerr added. Feb 23 - 10:36 AM Link to post Share on other sites
