barnes aint even 21 yet and he is already a better pure shooter than deng from any range. deng has always had a hitch in his jumper and a slow release. i dont know why we would be comparing the two right now though. if anything you can say barnes projects to be a better version of deng but comparing them now is silly because deng has way more experience.
