Heres part two of the breakdown of Barnes. Now, it's time to figure out how fast he can acclerate toward the hoop.

In the dunk shown in the clip, Barnes takes off with a force of 1000+ pounds. For this case, we'll say just one thousand pounds, which is roughly 250 newtons. Since he weighs about 95 kilograms (210 pounds), he accerates at rate of 2.63 m/s/s (using f=ma). Thats explosive. Yet another reason why if his knees don't betray him, he'll fit right into the NBA. With a spin rate similar to Wade, if his explosion is any where near as good, he'll be a good player for a long time. Hopefully he won't take is talents to South Beach, like yet another explosive player.

Harrison Barnes, your welcome for giving you something to show the GM's before the draft.

PS: There was a Sports Science video about Tebow's throw to beat the Steelers, but I couldn't find it. Otherwise, I would break it down.
