He's playing 31 minutes per game but seems totally invisible and his numbers are almost all down from last year's postseason run. Wasn't this guy supposed to command $100 million in the offseason?

Yeah, he has been quiet lately. Someone is going to overpay for him.
Future Laker
I thought that almost all season, but I really think his postseason is going to make the Lakers think twice about throwing him a big offer.
This is perfect for the lakers. He's driving his value down, but he's been a much better player over his career than what he's shown this season. Every player goes through bad stretches, especially a young player like Barnes, you should expect inconsistencies. Lakers are in perfect position to swoop in and nab him for a discount to add to their young core. Kid is only 23
If we keep our pick we're probably not gonna make him an offer. Really depends if we get #1 or #2. If we get Simmons we'll max out Barnes. If we get Ingram, no point of getting Barnes..
hopefully
Plz no
Maybe he started taking notes from Ibaka on how to disappear when he's on the court.
or he took notes from Ibaka on how to complement his teammates and maximize their abilities by spacing the defense
Ty
Ibaka was fucking critical that game. Knocked down his shots, set physical picks, and played great defense. He's one of the reasons why Russ and KD shine.
Not to mention his defense, he's such a critical piece
Streaky player. Doesn't know how to contribute when things aren't going his way
Harrison 'Terrence Ross' Barnes
T ross is not half the defensive player Barnes is tho
I mean Ross kinda sucks on D but Barnes is overrated on that side of the ball IMO. Both are perpetually disappointing streaky 3&D guys, always poised to take that next step but never do.
Barnes isn't overrated on D. He can body up with the best PFs when they're posting up on him. Happened a couple of times with Kanter tonight... he couldn't get past Barnes. He's very versatile.
Not saying he's bad--he's clearly better than Ross--just not as good as he gets credit for.
Let's put it a different way, they are nearly offensive equals, and I don't think the difference on the defensive end is worth the gap between Ross' 11M and Barnes' theoretical max contract...not even close.
3&D player who serves a bigger purpose on defense. His offense is mediocre because he has very limited handling ability and shot creation. He can't create shots for his teammates, nor can he create shots for himself.
Look at his 2nd year where they tried to let him run the team off the bench. He was terrible, and they eventually switched him and Iggy out.
I'd love for the Warriors to keep him just to say that they have a completely home-grown core but his playoff performance isn't helping his case... especially if he wants a max.
He seems to play best in ISO, which obviously doesn't command a lot of possessions in the Warriors system. He is probably the 4th best scorer on the team when the ball goes through him, but it just doesn't make sense to stall the ball movement for 3 or 4 Harrison Barnes post-ups each game.
Jeff Green 2.0
All the gifts but somehow has no consistency
well in this cba a younger jeff green gets 100 million. nothing happened. he is what he is, the market is ripe for players to get paid.

He is a Richard Jefferson clone, any team will regret paying him big like the Spurs did with RJ.
I don't think he seems totally invisible, but I did notice the he's become less involved with warriors' offense. Even though offense runs through curry and klay, I wish he was more consistent on a game to game basis. He's still only 23 with a high ceiling, so I'm sure some team with a ton of cap space will throw the bank at him.
Barnes has the skills..unfortunately he just doesn't have the mentality to be that guy...he doesn't even have the mentality to be a consistent player..he's consistently inconsistent..it's crazy how people got the gifts, but don't know what to do with them
He's the new Jeff Green
You didn't see him hit a tough turnaround in the post over Ibaka to make it a 1 point game, 101-100. Completely bailing out the possession because they couldn't get Curry open?
"Barnes sucks" is a huge circlejerk to the point of people not even remembering what happened in the game apparently.
He's not very good, and hasn't really ever been all that good. He was bad this season after his ankle injury and wasn't all that good in the second half of last season either
Rich mans Jeff green
Rich man's?
I'd say he's about the same level, maybe slightly better.
Gonna be a better paid version of Jeff green that fo sho
he's a system player. he will never be a superstar, I just think he's over hyped because he's part of the warriors core.
He's extremely overhyped. Just look at the shots he got today and throughout the playoffs. Lots of them wide open because nobody gives a crap if it's Harrison Barnes shooting a 3.
His defense is the biggest attraction, but anyone thinking he can become a superstar or even franchise player is kidding themselves. When's the last time he created a shot for himself?
Went 2/4 from three tonight, 5/8 from the field. He had a decent game.
Didn't notice him at all when he wasn't shooting.
Tonight?
Hit a post turnaround to make it 101-100. Bailed GS out of a bad possession in the clutch when they couldn't get Curry open.
His defense isn't even that great. It's around average for his position.
that's not necessarily his fault. He shares the court with players like steph, draymond and iggy. when you have players like that who are so effective at coordinating an offense, you might not get many opportunities to showcase talents other than spot up shooting, driving efficiently, and defense. And really, klay, Livingston and Barbosa are all decent at running the offense too. There's so much competition on that front for the Warriors specifically, it's part of why they were the best team in the regular season, and why it would be difficult to tell how good Barnes would be at the helm of a team
Well thats relative......to two of the best shooters of all time.....HB is a good 3 point shooter, I dont think anybody wants him shooting open 3's, in a vacuum
He was a top 10 pick and #1 high school player he has always been followed by crazy amounts of hype.
I'm not saying that this applies to your comment directly but it's funny how Harrison Barnes being a number one high school recruit makes him over rated and Austin Rivers being a number one high school recruit means he has more potential and unfair expectations
He gets soooo many open looks. I think he can possibly fulfill a larger role elsewhere though.
Wow for a second there I thought we were talking about Kawhi Leonard
