Is Harrison Barnes's draft stock slipping?
Posted Dec 14, 2011
Harrison Barnes is scoring (with) the basketball -- but he's doing it all through jump shots,'' Ford writes. "He lacks buckets at the rim, doesn't trust his handle, has a horrendous assist ratio (just 5 percent of Barnes' possessions end in an assist) and isn't rebounding (just 6.9 percent of missed shots). Those factors are all causing some alarm. If Barnes is just a jump shooter ... is he really worth a pick this high?
