Ranking 76ers’ Tobias Harris and the top 30 NBA small forwards
. SF. Sacramento Kings. Harrison Barnes. 21. player. 84
Harrison Barnes has been a model of consistency for the all-too-often inconsistent Kings. Now, Sacramento is winning games and Barnes can get his proper shine. After oscillating between various roles with Golden State and Dallas, Barnes has settled into the archetypal 3-and-D wing role for Sacramento.
27. . SF. New York Knicks. R.J. Barrett. 20. player
R.J. Barrett’s erratic play style and persistent inconsistency has been a thorn in the side of Knicks fans all season. Still, the broader NBA public should have faith in the former No. 3 pick’s development. His strength driving downhill is quite unique, and there are enough flashes of potential stardom to keep the well of optimism open for now.
. SF. Indiana Pacers. Buddy Hield. 19. player. 100
Buddy Hield deserves a ton of credit for buying into his role with the Pacers and properly weaponizing his greatest attribute: that laser-focused 3-point shot that can bend defenses to their breaking point.
