Warriors’ Harrison Barnes took lessons on defense to heart
Posted May 25, 2015
“So I come to the gym,” Harrison Barnes said, “my first NBA workout, and there’s no basketballs. I’m like, ‘Hey, man, can I get a ball to get some shots?’ And he’s like, ‘You came into the draft as the worst-rated defender on Synergy (a draft analytics system). All we’re going to do is defense. Anyone can score the basketball, but if you can’t defend, you can’t be on the court.’”
