Barnes, who turns 23 in August, made his first All-Star appearance this past season and averaged 19.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks. Barnes and two-timewere the only NBA players to average at least one per game in all five of those statistical categories, according to ESPN Stats and Information research.
