On a points-per-touch basis, Harrison Barnes is one of the most efficient players in the NBA

Posted Feb 20, 2017
What do Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, and Harrison Barnes have in common? They each average 20+ points per game and they’re all top-10 in the NBA in points per touch, at least among heavy-usage guys. Of the top 112 NBA players in frontcourt touches per game — roughly the top-quarter of the league — Barnes ranks 10th in points per touch, at 0.372. (Dallas Mavericks)
