Overview
- Voting results revealed Sunday showed Barnes received just nine total points in All‑NBA balloting and was not named to any of the three All‑NBA teams.
- He was named to the NBA All‑Defensive Second Team but did not make the First Team despite leading the league much of the season in combined steals and blocks.
- Barnes posted career‑best regular‑season marks while playing 80 games, averaging 18.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.
- His production rose sharply in the playoffs, when he averaged 24.1 points, 8.6 assists, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 steals, but postseason performance does not factor into All‑NBA voting.
- Barnes publicly signaled his displeasure with a Druski GIF and the result has prompted fans and media to debate voter criteria and how two‑way players win recognition going forward.
