Barnes has basically been the only player (Barea also possible exception) who hasn't hurt us at any extended stretch so far this season. Plenty to dislike so far through 0-5, but Barnes has been better than advertised IMO.

FG% is basically irrelevant. Let's take a look at Gallinari, for example, he is shooting 38% from the field, and yet he is having a more efficient season, and that gap will likely widen. I did not say Barnes hurt us btw, just that 17 points on 17 shots is mediocre, which is a fact. Overall, he is still having a good season, though I would definitely wait until Christmas, until one tries to make any predictions about his season.
