So ... I was against the very thought of the Golden State Warriors drafting Harrison Barnes in 2012 well before draft day for reasons that I won’t bother elaborating on now.
Nevertheless, by the end of his tenure in Oakland, I was able to acknowledge some of his strengths and at least appreciate his role on the first Warriors team to win a title in my lifetime.
Those strengths did not include being the high-usage scorer and playmaker that the Dallas Mavericks sought to cast him as. Yet I do think he could be a fit for this Sacramento Kings team and I’m actually looking forward to seeing how he continues to develop.
