so you don't see the impact mentally on Barnes, starting for 81 games the regular season and all of the playoff games and being moved to the bench.
He's in his second year, he's not a veteran player like Jack is. so to assume that he'll become 6th man is ridiculous just because he's taking over Jack's role of coming off the bench.
Barnes had a breakout postseason having more touches on the offensive end with Lee being out. And he only got the confidence to take those shots because he was starting every game.
It took Steph a full season of play (without being sidelined for too long) and without Monta to become a star. I don't think if Monta was still here, Steph would be the same player he was the 2nd half of the season and through the playoffs. We knew Steph was good his first few years but only with steady play and the ball being in his hands did he become a star.
So yeah, I am worried about Barnes' growth being hindered by Iggy.
