So not to beat a dead horse, but I think sullinger is the safest pick in the draft if he comes out.
I have also watched barnes in games and I know I am not looking at micheal Jordon. I think the brandon rush comparison is better at this point. He is one, who in my opinion is better suited to stay in college. He is playing for an elite team with an elite system and he will absolutley get better with time. When he can show he can carry that team on his back to a NCAA win, he will be a consensus number one. Although they beat duke last night, the game was won inside as Kyle Singler dissapeared (and OK Barnes may have had something to do with that). Nolan Smith and Seth Curry both had better numbers than Barnes.
There are some interesting forwards out there, but some are pretenders. Besides Singler, Purdue's Jajuan Johnson got exposed last night by a team that had lost something like 8 straight. He was forcing bad shots the entire second half, and could not consistently block out low. Perry Jones was not able to carry the team against Texas. We say well he does not have the teammates to show how good he is, but that is part f the deal. You have to make your team mates better. Kemba Walker (guard) has terrific numbers losing yesterday, except that he only managed 1 assist. This is inexcusable for a guard when you have a true 7 foot 250 lb big inside against a team where the tallest player is 6'8.
I like both Morris's at KU. I think their stock will go up when they go deep in the tournament. I think Barnes needs to stay in the oven another year or maybe two.
