A closer look at Harrison Barnes

[Rist77]

I'd like to see Shane Battier or Bruce Bowen do that.

 

[NorthCoastBias]

He's played very well down the stretch of this game. That reverse lay-up he hit was incredibly impressive.

 

[hud11]

he's got an incredibly smooth game, with NBA level moves coming out more and more, he's a top 4 pick.

 

[Pioneer10]

Another game where 18 points on 17 shots is supposed to be impressive.

oops make that 18 points on 18 shots

 

[TheISHT]

I find it hard to be impressed by anyone in this draft.

He's forced a few down the stretch, but its not that he overall had a great game, its that he shows a lot of flashes, and plays that are nba type plays and when we plays with better players he won't have to force as much. he's a top 5 pick.

I didn't add his last second heave. He took two bad shots down the stretch where UNC was still well into the game. I'm not sure I buy the better player argument wither. He's playing with a very good PG for the college level and two likely first round NBA picks at PF and C.

This whole notion that Brandon Knight is garbage is so far off...

 

[PIP]

As far Barnes ?

Kid is 18... Talented and should get better...

That's the thing. He's not close to a finished fully developed player. Barnes might not ever be a superstar and wasn't as great as he was overhyped to be this season but there is enough there to show he should at least be a solid starting NBA SF.
I don't take him top 4 but at 8 I have no problem.

Then slit your wrists to spare the rest of us

He impressed me. That said, he didn't really do much to disprove the idea that he's a shooting guard in a point guard's body.

 

[PIP]

I dunno, I came away more thinking he's a PG as opposed to just another deluxe scoring combo guard... Kinda reminded me of a Kirk Hinrich.

 

[cavsfanclanman]

So who looked better, Barnes or TJones?

Barnes. Terrence Jones just does not impress.
