Harrison Barnes, Dallas Mavericks, small forward, #40

Harrison Barnes left Golden State for the Lone Star State to play for the Dallas Mavericks.

Former Warriors’ teammate Andrew Bogut accompanied Barnes to ‘Big D.’ Barnes starts at the small forward position. He is poised for a breakout season, since he will be one of the primary scoring options including Dirk Nowitzki.

Barnes has started off this season by setting a season record in points with 31 points against the Houston Rockets.

In the first game of the season, Barnes had 19 points and nine rebounds against the Indiana Pacers.
