Expert Analysis
Eric Wallace | Prep Hoops Scout
A very quick, shifty lead guard, Barnes plays with excellent pace and command of the basketball. He’s extremely difficult for defenders to stay in front of, consistently breaking down defenses and getting into the paint. Barnes can finish in the lane in a variety of ways or create for others, showing strong vision and feel as a playmaker. He sees the floor well, makes sound decisions, and is a capable perimeter shooter when left open. Coming off an All-County season at Peachtree Ridge, he continues to show the instincts and productivity of a high level lead guard.

Creative scorer took over as camp wore on. Freezes defenders with his crafty handle. Shifty penetrator was impossible to stay in front of in isolation settings. Gets to the rim and puts English on the ball to score overtop of shot blockers. Netted pull-up jumpers upon breaking down defenders. One of the better pound-for-pound scoring guards in his class.

Up from No. 26: Wired-to-score guard. Has a knack for putting up points from all three levels. Has bounce in his legs when exploding to finish at the rim. Breaks down defenders off the dribble and is a crafty finisher.

was excellent on Saturday and quickly emerged as one of the most talented guards in attendance. Barnes is a natural scorer that can hit contested shots off the bounce or break defenders down and get to the rack. He can switch gears in a split-second and keeps defenders on their toes with different speeds. Barnes picked up his first offer from Coastal Carolina a day prior to the event.
