How Harrison Barnes learned to stop worrying and let the game come to him

Posted Jun 10, 2015
Throughout his career, from high school to UNC to the NBA, it hasn’t always been easy for Harrison Barnes to relax and let the game come to him. He doesn’t have the mentality of a conscience-less gunner like J.R. Smith, who will keep looking for his shot no matter how many times he misses. Barnes often cares too much and allows himself to be too aware of how he’s performing in the moment. (Grantland)
