Harrison Barnes is one of the most lethal offensive weapons to have on your roster when going against any team. Throughout his first two seasons with the Mavericks, he has grown in dramatic fashion at the post and in isolation.

Midway through the season, Barnes and Mavs coach Rick Carlisle watched film regularly and came to a fairly simple mathematical conclusion. That two is always better than three.
They discovered Harrison had been taking too many long jumpers just inside the arc, rather than taking a step back and receiving 50% more on his labour. He stuck to this realisation and worked on his jump shot for better returns on offense.
The league is starting to revolve around players who can shoot a three pointer off the dribble, and if Barnes can incorporate this less-grinding and less-pounding way of playing into his game, he will surely see astronomical growth on the path of which he has already begun.
