Harrison Barnes WILL MAKE 6 TEAMS PAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
LeBron can't get him more open looks than he's getting right now. Maybe he needs someone on that team to instill confidence in him or maybe he's just not very good.
 
Yeah, he just has no confidence at all right now. Totally shutdown mentally.
 
I know it's hindsight and all, but good God...

Didn't really understand why the Cavs and most of the fan base was so high on Barnes, saying it would take a top 3 pick to acquire him and the chances weren't likely. But once his draft stock took a major hit, the Cavs and the fan base decided he wasn't the best pick. Always thought he was the best pick for the Cavaliers to make at their position.

Really didn't understand it. The guy is going to average 25 points a game for his career on good percentages, and also pull down some boards to boot. He's going to be an all-star forward for several years. I was pretty disappointed when the Cavs went with Waiters, but I also don't hate Waiters by any means. He's going to be a serious offensive threat next to Irving, but Barnes will overall have the better career in my eyes.

Maybe averaging 25 a game is premature, but I wouldn't rule it out with his ability to score. He's got a whole career ahead of him, so obviously I'd consider that a bold statement for him to do something not many players have done.

Either way, though, averaging 20+ a game is something I see him doing.

For those of you keeping score at home, Barnes has averaged 9.6 ppg on 44% shooting through three seasons. For comparison's sake, Khris Middleton has averaged 11.8 ppg on 45.3% shooting through his first three seasons in the NBA.
 
I was on the Black Falcon bandwagon...

I am now off the wagon, and am a better man for it.
 
Wait, when did the Black Falcon become a thing?
 
Yeah, he just has no confidence at all right now. Totally shutdown mentally.

He had a 0-9 game against the Grizzlies. He followed it up with a 14 point game and then a 24 point game. I'm not 100% certain that he's going to fade away quietly.
