In his first season with the Nets, Barry scored 29.4 points per game, making the All-Star team and finishing inside the top five in MVP voting. He shot 46.9% from the field on 22.8 shot attempts. While he only appeared in 59 games, he averaged 42 minutes.
An absurd Stephen Curry three to close the first half of Thursday's Warriors-Nets matchup had NBA fans in a frenzy.
