Hope this is true. Having not seen nearly enough Larkin to be well informed, I'm not sure how close he is presently to where Barea was by the time he left Dallas, but you're right that that gap couldn't be nearly as far as the gap between, say, Dojo and Wade.
I will also say that even if Larkin is a very good shooter though, it's extremely hard for very good shooters to get good jumpers off in the NBA when they're as short as he is. Hopefully this is less of a concern with Dirk or other players drawing attention on the floor.
