这位征战联盟13年的老将正在将马刺队塑造成一支胜利之师。
布莱恩·莱特(Brian Wright)担任圣安东尼奥马刺队总经理的任期一直备受争议。球迷们一直在争论他是否招募或引进了在NBA赢球所需的人才。尽管今年夏天议论纷纷，但莱特休赛期运作的早期回报表明，这可能是NBA最佳休赛期操作之一。像克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)和哈里森·巴恩斯这样的新援都是马刺队赛季初取得成功的关键，他们进入12月时的战绩已超过五成胜率两个胜场。
尤其是巴恩斯，他已经成为马刺队的变革者，也是NBA所有球队中最好的引援之一。在一笔三方交易中，圣安东尼奥从萨克拉门托国王队得到了巴恩斯（以及2031年的首轮选秀权互换），这笔交易将雷夸恩·格雷(RaiQuan Gray)送到了芝加哥公牛队，德玛尔·德罗赞(DeMar DeRozan)送到了国王队。一些人称之为德罗赞交易，但在巴恩斯本赛季在圣安东尼奥的表现之后，这笔交易可能会被认为是巴恩斯交易。
这位征战联盟13年的老将侧翼在11月25日获得了他的第一个NBA周最佳球员奖。他场均得到11.3分和4.9个篮板，投篮命中率为51.1%，三分球命中率为43.1%。巴恩斯无缝地融入了首发阵容，并且是马刺队进攻的重要组成部分，将联盟最差的进攻之一提升至联盟平均水准。
巴恩斯仅仅凭借知道自己应该在球场上的哪个位置就极大地帮助了马刺队。显然，圣安东尼奥需要一个空间型球员，让一个43%三分命中率的射手在维克多·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)身边打四号位非常重要，但真正解开球队进攻的是他在进攻中的站位。巴恩斯是一位经验丰富的老将，他的空切在很多情况下都为圣安东尼奥带来了巨大的帮助。

文班亚马和巴恩斯之间的默契配合贯穿了整个赛季。在他们共同在场上的303分钟里，巴恩斯和文班亚马的净效率值为+9.3，进攻效率值为114.1，这是出场时间超过300分钟的双人阵容中效率第二高的（仅次于保罗和文班）。 肉眼观察也证实了这一点。文班亚马手里一拿球就能吸引防守注意力（这很正常）。当这种情况发生时，巴恩斯知道如何找到防守的薄弱点并得分。上周比赛末段，他和文班联手砍瓜切菜般击溃了勇士队，在第四节拉开了比分，这一切都得益于在防守注意力集中在文班身上的时候，巴恩斯聪明的空切。

这种位置感不仅带来了得分机会，还创造了更多进攻篮板的机会。没有什么比一名球员突然冲进来抢到进攻篮板更令人沮丧的了。巴恩斯并不一定总是在低位肉搏，但他会判断球的落点，并让自己处于有利的位置创造额外的机会。他场均1.9个进攻篮板，创下职业生涯新高。
巴恩斯无球时的球商令人惊叹，但他持球进攻也同样出色。他的三分球命中率很高，主要来自接球就投，但偶尔他也会通过运球后急停跳投命中高难度三分球。他在篮筐附近的表现非常出色，0-3英尺的命中率高达70%。巴恩斯在篮筐周围的各种进攻技巧都令人印象深刻，尤其是他的慢三步，他会让防守球员失去平衡，然后再出手投篮。他在篮下的进攻技巧远比他加入马刺之前人们所认识到的要丰富得多。
所有这些都影响了球场上的其他球员。马刺队的传球和空切比上赛季做得更好。总的来说，球队更加注重球员的移动以及在正确的时间做出正确的传球。我并不是说巴恩斯是造成这种情况的唯一原因，但他正在以身作则，带领这支年轻的球队。圣安东尼奥需要老将的领导——巴恩斯和保罗正在充分发挥他们的作用。
巴恩斯与马刺队完美契合。不仅如此，他还是一个性价比很高的角色球员，本赛季的薪水为1800万美元，明年为1900万美元。随着圣安东尼奥希望在未来完善阵容，他们至少可以把巴恩斯当作一名稳定的角色球员。莱特在这笔交易中大获全胜，还得到了一个选秀权互换，这在文班亚马的巅峰时期可能会非常有价值。赛季还很漫长，但到目前为止，很难找到比巴恩斯对新球队影响更大的球员。

Harrison Barnes was one of the best additions of the NBA offseason
In year 13, the veteran is shaping the Spurs into a winning team.
Brian Wright’s tenure as the San Antonio Spurs General Manager has been controversial. Fans have debated whether he’s drafted or acquired the talent necessary to win in the NBA. Despite the noise this summer, the early returns of Wright’s offseason show it might have been one of the best in the NBA. New additions like Chris Paul, Stephon Castle, and Harrison Barnes have all been key to the Spurs early season successes that have them two games above .500 heading into December.
Barnes, specifically, has been a revolution for the Spurs and one of the best acquisitions for any team in the NBA. San Antonio got Barnes (and a 2031 first-round pick swap) from the Sacramento Kings in a three-way trade that sent RaiQuan Gray to the Chicago Bulls and DeMar DeRozan to the Kings. What some had called the DeRozan trade may be thought of as the Barnes deal after the season he’s having in San Antonio.
The 13-year veteran wing won his first NBA Player of the Week award on November 25th. He’s averaging 11.3 points and 4.9 rebounds while shooting 51.1% from the field and 43.1% from deep. Barnes has plugged into the starting lineup seamlessly and has been a major part of the Spurs’ offense, jumping from one of the worst in the league to an average NBA offensive attack.
Barnes has helped the Spurs tremendously by just knowing where to be on the court. Obviously, San Antonio needed a floor spacer, and having a 43% three-point shooter play the four next to Victor Wembanyama has been huge, but it’s his positioning in the offense that has really unlocked things. Barnes is a savvy veteran whose cutting has come up big on multiple occasions for San Antonio.

The synergy between Wembanyana and Barnes has been great all year. In their 303 minutes together, Barnes and Wembanyama are a +9.3 in net rating with a 114.1 offensive rating, which is the second most efficient two-man lineup (behind Paul and Wemby) that has played more than 300 minutes. The eye test backs it up, too. Wembanyama draws the attention of the defense any time he has the ball in his hands (duh.) When that happens, Barnes has the knowhow to find the soft spot in the defense and score from there. He and Wemby diced up the Warriors late in the game last week to pull away in the fourth quarter, and it was all done on smart cuts from Barnes while the defense focused on Victor.

That positional awareness hasn’t just led to scoring opportunities, but created more opportunities on the offensive glass. There is nothing more crushing than a player swooping in to grab an offensive board. Barnes isn’t necessarily banging around down low, but he’s reading the ball off of the rim and putting himself in position to create an extra opportunity. He has a career-high 1.9 offensive rebounds per game.
His IQ has jumped off the page when he’s off the ball, but Barnes is legitimately getting buckets with the ball in his hands. He’s shooting a great percentage from deep, mostly on catch and shoot opportunities, but every once in awhile he will hit a difficult shot off the dribble from deep. He’s been fantastic around the rim, shooting 70% from 0-3 feet away from the basket. Barnes has been impressive with a collection of moves around the hoop, especially his slow step, where he gets the defense to leave their feet before he goes up for the shot. His bag around the basket goes far deeper than many realized before he joined the Silver and Black.
All of that has translated to other players on the floor. The Spurs are moving the ball and cutting better than they did last season. As a whole, there has been an emphasis on player movement and making the right pass at the right time. I’m not saying Barnes is the sole reason we are seeing that, but he’s leading by example with a young team. San Antonio needed veteran leadership – Barnes and Paul are providing it in spades.
Barnes has been a perfect fit with the Spurs. Not only that, but he’s an affordable role player at $18M this season, and $19M next year. As San Antonio looks to fill out this roster moving forward, they can likely pencil Barnes in as a solid role player, at the very least moving forward. Wright nailed this trade, and got a pick swap out of the deal that could be valuable as the Spurs are in the prime years of Wembanyama’s career. It’s early, but so far it’s hard to find many players that have been more impactful for their new team than Barnes.
