6. Harrison Barnes

Look, we get it Golden State Warriors fans: Harrison Barnes isn’t having the greatest season. Though he’s averaging a career high 11.4 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, his field goal percentage (46.3 percent) and three-point percentage (37.3 percent) are down from last year.

Over the last few weeks in particular, Barnes has really struggled in almost every facet of the game. He’s shooting an anemic 10.5 percent from three-point range for the month of March and his scoring is down to a meager 8.0 points per game over that span, though none of Barnes’ struggles have mattered thanks to the luxury of having a player like Stephen Curry.

In any case, the Dubs will need Barnes to recapture his same confidence when the playoffs roll around. His defensive versatility, rebounding, ability to post smaller defenders up, athleticism attacking the basket and three-point shooting are all assets that will make him a highly sought-after commodity in free agency this summer.
