Harrison Barnes, Dallas Mavericks, small forward, #40

Harrison Barnes has exploded onto the scene in the NBA this season. He leads the Mavericks in scoring with 20.3 points per game. He has become one of their primary scoring options. In addition to that, he’s quietly becoming the face of this franchise although Dirk Nowitzki is still on the roster.

Against the Milwaukee Bucks on November 6, 2016, Barnes set a career-high with 34 points in an 86-75 victory over Milwaukee.

The Black Falcon has taken flight and is soaring to new heights! Do not be surprised if Barnes is an all-star this season. After his tireless hard work and dedication, he deserves this success. He is one of the most humble NBA players. Professionalism at it’s finest!
