Matt Barnes (GSW)– “Try Me…” 
Profile:
Small Forward: 6’7, 226 lbs; 15th year, UCLA
NBA Role: defensive-minded forward • Salty DOG
Matt Barnes’s ‘tough guy act’ isn’t an act – he’ll put everything on the line to defend a teammate or right a wrong; hot-headed but it fits his persona to a tee: gets way too many techs but can lift up a lifeless squad w/ energy and effort; corner 3 specialist – every once in a while, Barnes drives hard to the basket after faking, really likes finishing with his left (just ask Derek Fisher!) – especially on the break; skinny guy board snatcher* – crashes the glass, wiry strong & athletic; supporting role** in GS, well acquainted w/ each other; has a lot enemies and people trying to drain him of his energy but Barnes focuses on his surroundings & stays true to himself
*like Andre Roberson (OKC)
**key piece of the 2007, ‘We Believe’ squad
