For example, he can score in a variety of ways whether in the post, off the dribble, or from deep. Barnes shot an impressive 40.8 percent from three-point range for the Kings. However, Barnes needs to work on his playmaking ability and be a better passer. Defensively, he&#8217;s a strong, lengthy defender that does a good job keeping his opponents from getting to the rim. At age 26, Barnes is just entering his prime and should still have some more room to improve as a two-way player.<\/p>\n<p>Barnes was a productive player for the Kings last season, though at times he struggled to keep up with their blistering pace of play. With a full offseason and training camp, though, he&#8217;ll come back ready to run. His two-way play, versatility, and age all fit well with the young, fast team the Kings are building.
