why isn't Jordan Barnett playing more?

Shaka might be a better down the stretch coach than Barnes and actually finish a season strong, but Barnes wouldn't lose some of these games this early like this. Have to give it to Rick Barnes, he would always have a strong OOC performance.

Why isn't Barnett playing more? He's a stud (I'm from STL originally) and was the best player in STL and maybe the general "Plains" region coming out of HS.

He seems like he has the tools, but appears tentative and his shots don't fall. We have a extremely small sample size, but the few minutes he's played he picked up quick touch fouls. Then there's guys like Roach, Mack, Yancy, Holland, Davis who seem to be ok at the 2 or 3 position same as Barnett. I hope he doesn't get discouraged because there could be a time in the future when he's an important piece.

And to Michigan.....All this with a new team. He hasnt had much time to practice with all the travel. Frankly, I think he has done a great job so far.
