Harrison Barnes will draw first shift on LeBron James

Posted Jun 1, 2015
There’s not a basketball position he can’t play and probably play better than anyone else in the game these days. But since the Cavaliers technically list the 6-foot-8, 255-pound LeBron James as a “small forward”, the immediate defensive assignment on him will fall to Harrison Barnes when the best-of-7 series opens Thursday (9 p.m., ABC) at Golden State.
