Painful Harrison Barnes truth Spurs fans don’t want to accept

Although the San Antonio Spurs are off to their best start in franchise history, they are still waiting for one of their key contributors to step up. 13-year NBA veteran Harrison Barnes has gotten off to a slow start to the season, playing poorly in preseason and mediocre in the first few games of the regular season.

To his credit, he did make several clutch plays against the New Orleans Pelicans in a tight win and had a big game against the Toronto Raptors, but outside of those games, his shot hasn't been falling enough. Odds are that his shooting numbers will improve to the mean, though he did shoot well over his career average from three last season.
