Barnes has performed well at Crespi High School (Los Angeles, California), where he is set to enter his junior year. In two seasons, he has averaged 10.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals across 59 games.

In the previous season, Barnes led the Celts to fourth in the California Southern Section Mission Basketball League and a 21-9 overall record.

He and his twin brother, Carter Barnes, are highly rated prospects in the Class of 2027. They both participated in the NBPA Top 100 Camp in June.

Isaiah averaged 6.8 ppg, 3.0 rpg and 2.4 apg at the event, while Carter contributed 5.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg and 2.3 apg.

Isaiah has shown resilience in his young career, surviving and recovering from a car accident that he suffered last year while jogging. The accident caused the young hooper severe stomach pain that was later discovered to be an inflamed appendix, requiring immediate removal.

The twins are looking to follow in the footsteps of their father, Matt, who played 14 seasons in the NBA. He played for UCLA at the college level and was drafted as the 46th pick by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2002.

Matt ended his career well, winning the NBA title with the Golden State Warriors in his final season in 2017.
