Harrison Barnes

A lottery pick out of UNC, Harrison Barnes started for the Warriors once head coach Steve Kerr took over in 2014 and he helped win the Warriors a championship before leaving in 2016 for the Mavericks.

Barnes was and still is a high-flying forward that can do a little bit of everything on a basketball court, although he has lost some of that step during his time on the Sacramento Kings.

While he has not yet had a return to his former team, that is definitely not out of the question as the Warriors have been known to bring former players back late in their careers for an emotional moment of cheers for both the players and the fans.

While he had poor performances in both of the Finals series that he was a part of with the Warriors, Barnes typically performed well in the regular season playing a nice in-between for the high-scoring splash brothers and the defensive big men in the front court of Bogut and Green.

Seeing Harrison Barnes on a team other than the Golden State Warriors still feels weird even though it’s been over six years since he last suited up for them.
