Barnes made major strides this summer, showing he’s ready to take a real jump. He’s attacking with purpose, finishing stronger and knocking down shots with a level of confidence. You can tell he’s starting to feel his game and everything looks quicker, smoother and more aggressive. Defensively he’s active and disruptive, making opponents work for every inch. With his expanded skill set and growing impact on both ends, Barnes looks primed to carve out a bigger role and become one of Falcon’s biggest difference makers this season
