high-motor freshman guard with playmaking upside
Brooke Barnes is a 5'9" freshman guard for Delaware State who already logged meaningful minutes in 2024-25, averaging 3.7 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 20.0 minutes per game while starting 12 of 28 games; her best game came with 18 points against Virginia-Lynchburg. She’s attractive as a developmental fit because of her energy, ball handling, court vision, and team-first approach, but her current value is more as a connective guard than a finished scorer, with shooting efficiency still a clear area to grow.
