巴恩斯的表现超出了所有人的预期,为马刺队提供了所需的空间、韧性和老将领导力。
欢迎来到Pounding the Rock的2024-25赛季球员回顾!本系列将着眼于那些以保障合同结束本赛季的 圣安东尼奥马刺队 球员,以及那些出场时间重要和/或扮演关键角色的球员(因此不包括双向合同球员,因为我们今年几乎没看到他们,也不包括被交易走的球员)。
哈里森·巴恩斯
2024-25赛季数据:场均27.2分钟,12.3分,3.8个篮板。三分命中率43.3%
合同状态:剩余1年,1900万美元
年龄:32岁
现在回想起来,马刺队通过交易得到哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)的这笔运作简直太划算了。他们愿意用薪金空间吃下这位老将前锋,不仅得到了一个首发球员,他出战了全部82场比赛,并且迎来了生涯最佳的投篮年份,三分球命中率位居联盟前十,而且还从国王队获得了一个2031年的选秀权互换权,这可能非常值钱。利用薪金空间增加资产并填补漏洞,这是一次非常棒的尝试,即使巴恩斯表现平平,也算得上是成功。正如前面提到的,无论场上还是场下,他的贡献都远不止于此。
从交易谈判一开始,就非常清楚巴恩斯真的想留在圣安东尼奥,并且对球队阵容充满信心。他放弃了他的交易否决权,让马刺队得以留下朱利安·尚帕尼,并且从不偷懒,以身作则。他总能在需要的时候挺身而出,赢得了他漫长职业生涯中的第一个周最佳球员,并且在作为外线威胁时表现出色。当然,他的贡献不仅仅局限于外线投篮。巴恩斯也会突破到篮下制造犯规,而且当米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)为了阵容小型化而安排他去防守中锋时,他也毫无怨言,这在很大程度上是出于无奈。你能够对一个老将在球场上提出的任何要求,巴恩斯都做到了,同时他还通过慈善捐款立即对这座城市产生了影响。
当然,也有一些糟糕的时刻。很大程度上是因为他的角色,但有时也因为他的被动,巴恩斯有时会在进攻端消失。在防守端,他在限制对手方面表现稳健,但并不具有很强的破坏性,而且可以理解的是,他在面对体型更大或速度更快的球员时会遇到困难。但总的来说,巴恩斯是球队表现出色时的关键一员,尤其是在漫长的客场之旅和维克托·文班亚马的健康问题之前,而且他是一位伟大的领袖,帮助球队在赛季实际上结束后仍然保持着职业性。
未来展望
关于巴恩斯这个赛季,最有趣的是他的表现可能 太 好了。从理论上讲,在通过交易得到他并获得了一些资产后,马刺队现在应该考虑将巴恩斯和他即将到期的合同交易给一支有竞争力的球队,以换取一些次轮选秀权或一名年轻球员。然而,他对马刺队的贡献太大了,并且为社区做了很多事情,因此有充分的理由留下他。巴恩斯是联盟中最好的底角射手之一,同时也是马刺队中弧顶三分最有效率的球员。他的罚球率在队内排名第二,仅次于斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle),而且他的失误次数也是最少的。巴恩斯是一名任何球队都渴望拥有的角色球员,包括马刺队。
所以他们就应该留下他,对吗?嗯,马刺队在即将到来的选秀大会上拥有三个选秀权(两个乐透签和一个次轮签),而且他们还有两名更年轻且合同更长的锋线球员,分别是杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)和凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson),以及一名拥有类似技能且薪水非常低的侧翼球员朱利安·尚帕尼。巴恩斯似乎很喜欢圣安东尼奥,但他将在下个休赛期成为一名不受限制的自由球员,寻求他职业生涯中最后一份大合同,而让马刺队为他提供这份合同似乎并不明智。而且,如果他状态下滑或者上场时间减少,无论是由于目前球队中的某人挺身而出,还是管理层选秀选中了一名前锋,他的交易价值都会降低。
巴恩斯表现出色,并且已经带来了如此多的价值,因此他不应该仅仅被当作一件资产来对待,这对于一个只在圣安东尼奥待了一个赛季的人来说,令人惊讶。管理层可以在交易截止日前改变方向,但就目前而言,留下上赛季表现最稳定的球员,以帮助球队冲击季后赛,才是最合理的选择。
最佳表现
4月9日对阵金州勇士队。20分,4个篮板,2次助攻,投进制胜球。
最终评分:A

2024-25 Spurs Player Reviews: Harrison Barnes
Barnes was better than anyone could have expected, providing the spacing, grit, and veteran leadership the Spurs needed.
Welcome to Pounding the Rock’s 2024-25 player reviews! The series will look at the players who finished the season with the San Antonio Spurs on guaranteed contracts and who played consequential minutes and/or a vital role (so no two-way players because we hardly saw them this year, and no players who were traded away).
Harrison Barnes
2024-25 stats: 27.2 MPG, 12.3 points, 3.8 rebounds. 43.3 3FG%
Contract Status: 1 year, $19 million remaining
Age: 32
Looking back, the Spurs cleaned up on the trade that got Harrison Barnes to San Antonio. By being willing to take the veteran forward into cap space, they not only got a starting player who suited up for all 82 games and had a career-year as a shooter, finishing in the top 10 in the league in three-point field goal percentage, but also a 2031 pick swap with the Kings that could be very valuable. It was a fantastic use of cap room to add assets and plug holes that would have been considered a success even if Barnes had just been solid. As mentioned, he was much more than that, on and off the court.
It was clear from the moment the trade was discussed that Barnes actually wanted to be in San Antonio and believed in the roster. He waived his trade kicker to allow the Spurs to keep Julian Champagnie and never took a night off, leading by example. He stepped up when needed, earning the first Player of the Week of his long career and having big nights as an outside threat. It wasn’t all perimeter work. Barnes also drove to the rim to draw fouls and didn’t complain when he was assigned to guard centers when Mitch Johnson went small, mostly out of necessity. Anything that could have been asked for from a veteran on the court, Barnes delivered, while also immediately making an impact in the city with charitable donations.
There were some bad moments, of course. Largely because of his role but sometimes due to his passivity, there were times when Barnes disappeared on offense. Defensively he was solid when it came to containing his man but not very disruptive, and he understandably struggled with bigger or quicker players. But overall, Barnes was a key piece when the team was doing well, before the long road trip and Victor Wembanyama’s health scare, and a great leader who helped keep professionalism intact once the season was unofficially over.
Looking ahead
The most interesting thing about Barnes’ season is that it might have been too good. In theory, after acquiring him via trade and getting an asset for him, the Spurs would now look to flip Barnes and his expiring contract to a contender for a couple of second-rounders or a young prospect. He was so good for them and he did so much for the community, however, that there’s a powerful case to keep him. Barnes was one of the best corner shooters in the league, but also was the most efficient Spur from above the break. He had the second-best free-throw rate on the team behind Stephon Castle, and he turned the ball over the least by a mile. Barnes is a role player any team would love to have, including the Spurs.
So they just keep him, right? Well, the Spurs have three picks in the upcoming draft (two lottery ones and a second-rounder) and they have two other forwards who are younger and on longer deals in Jeremy Sochan and Keldon Johnson, and a very cheap wing who has similar skills in Julian Champagnie. Barnes seems to love San Antonio, but he’ll be an unrestricted free agent looking for his last big contract next offseason, and it would not make a lot of sense for the Spurs to be the ones that hand it to him. And if he regresses or they play him less, either because someone currently on the roster steps up or the front office drafts a forward, his trade value would decrease.
Barnes was so good and has returned so much value already that he shouldn’t be treated like just an asset, which is surprising for someone who has only spent a season in San Antonio. The front office can change courses at the deadline, but for now, it makes the most sense to keep the most consistent player from last season as the team attempts to make the playoffs.
Top performance
April 9 at the Golden State Warriors. 20 points, four rebounds, two assists, the game-winning bucket.
