The point guard for UNC though, damn, he has some great court vision.
Edit: As I type this, Barnes gets a lose ball, fights through 2 defenders, and shows amazing body control to get the and-1 layup. That was an NBA move.

Is anyone else as impressed with the PG for UNC (Marshall) as I am? This kid's court vision is off the charts. He has to work on his jumpshot, but he's got good size (6-3, 190), and he's only a freshman.
He's really, really good.

I didn't realize it until just now, when he ripped the ball right out of Singler's hands, but he has done a fantastic job tonight. Primarily guarded Singler and has held him to 3-17 shooting.
He only has 9 points, but he has only taken 6 shots. He doesn't force anything, lets the offense come to him. Those are good things, though something you'd like to see him just take over. We'll see what happens in the last few minutes. He is really smooth though.
He reminds me of when Steve Blake was at Maryland, how he would get into the paint every posession and dish it off to either Chris Wilcox or Lonny Baxter. He kind of a different player but yields similar results.

That Marshall kid is pretty good, but he can't seem to finish to save his life (except just this last possession).
How old is Seth Curry? Dude can shoot like crazy and he's built a little stronger than Stephen. Obviously not a #1 pick, but perhaps a 2nd rounder.

When PIP played for the '97-'98 Armco Heating Co. Hornets, he tended to mumble in the post game interviews... that is his manner of speaking... he just sort of rambles... After PIP went to college and got a degree in 19th century American Literature, he wanted nothing more to emulate his idol Mark Twain and represent speech colloquially in his writing style... ellipsis are the literal representation of how he talks...

He reminds me of Kwame... It's not his game (which is lacking) but it's the deer in the headlights look and the lack of aggression as well that reminds me of him...
Also, I do this... so morons can ask me why I do this ....
Appears to be working huh ??? ....

I read a draft article stating that Barnes' game seemed to start showing up when this PG took over.
