An in-depth look at new acquisitions for the Kings: Harrison Barnes and Alec Burks

Here are profiles on Harrison Barnes and Alec Burks, who were acquired by the Kings in two trades Wednesday: HARRISON BARNES Age: 26 Position: Small forward Height/weight: 6-foot-8, 225 pounds Drafted: Round 1, No. 7 overall, Golden State Warriors, 2012 Experience: Seventh season College: North Carolina Contract status: Third year of a four-year, $94.4 million contract Barnes represents a clear and immediate upgrade for the Kings at small forward, giving them the size, length and scoring ability they’ve lacked at the position since Rudy Gay ruptured his Achilles’ tendon in 2017. Barnes is also versatile enough to slide over to power forward in small-ball lineups.

Barnes averaged 17.7 points in 49 games for the Dallas Mavericks this season before the Kings acquired him Wednesday in a trade

that sent Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph to Dallas. Barnes is shooting an impressive 39 percent from 3-point range. He led the Mavericks in scoring each of the past two seasons, averaging 19.2 points in 2016-17 and 18.9 points in 2017-18.

Barnes doesn’t bring the same tenacity Iman Shumpert demonstrated on defense, but he has prototypical size for the small forward position and may match up better with bigger wings such as Lebron James and Kevin Durant. Barnes is also versatile enough to defend multiple positions.

Barnes spent four seasons with the Warriors. He was a starter on Golden State’s 2014-15 NBA championship team, so he brings the highest level of postseason experience to a Kings team vying for its first playoff berth since 2006.

ALEC BURKS Age: 27 Position: Shooting guard Height/weight: 6-foot-6, 214 pounds Drafted: Round 1, No. 12 overall, Utah Jazz, 2011
