It has been a tough few months for Harrison Barnes. Now, he has a great opportunity to rebound in the Olympics.

There are a lot of Tar Heels competing in the upcoming Rio Olympics. For the first time since the prime days of Vince Carter, a Tar Heel will take the court for the United States men’s basketball team: Harrison Barnes. Barnes was a surprise inclusion to many, mostly influenced by the many declines over the past few months from more established stars and players. Regardless of how much he deserves to be in Rio, Barnes is there now and certainly ready to make to start a new chapter in his professional career.
