Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
Barnes had a sensational showing in his team’s opening game win over Jalen Green Elite at the 3SSB Invitational, as he would display his ability to create for others or shots of his own, with the ability to score it from 3-levels. The 6-foot-3 guard has a smooth stroke on the jumper, is efficient from beyond the arc off the dribble or the catch, has a smooth handle with shifty moves to create separation from his defender, has quick acceleration getting down hill off the bounce with a creative lay-up package, and has great body control through contact on shots within 15-20 feet from the basket. Given his shot making ability, Barnes also displays elite court vision, combined with quality decision making, to find open players when on the attack off the drive. Barnes plays with good pace and feel for the game, is under control when using his on-court speed, and makes use of the crossover or in-and-out dribble to keep his defender back peddling. Of the players in this article, Barnes is the only rising junior guard that was playing up in the 17u division and there was no doubt he belonged.
