Harrison Barnes’ PPG

Probably one of the highly anticipated stats for everyone around the league to monitor will be Harrison Barnes’ points per game. Barnes is considered the guy on this team offensively, and there’s much speculation that he can’t be that player.

With the other starters on the team not being overly offensively gifted, this team really needs a spark from someone. Barnes has the pressure to be that person.

This may be one of the stats that take a little longer to pick up, but the hope is that Barnes picks up the scoring slack for Dallas.
