Harrison Barnes’ shooting percentage has improved to 46 percent over the last 16 games, yet he continues to struggle to score inside the arc.

Per DraftExpress, Barnes is converting just 47% of his 2-point attempts, while getting to the free throw line just 4.3 times per-40 minute pace adjusted.

As he has grown more comfortable with his jumper, Barnes has attempted few forays to the rim. Barnes’ aversion to contact is a notable shortcoming when comparing him with collegiate wing players in the past.
