I starting to be on the Harrison Barnes Bandwagon.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

I watched Beal this morning on espn replay game..he just lacks any defensive effort and is not that impressive.

Id take Barnes over J Rob and Beal now...so im a supporter then? Id rather have The Gay. trade this pick!

The thing that jumps out is that he has an old man's game. Like a guy who blew out his knee in high school and now shooots it out at the YMCA.

Thats better than wht the Bobcats have at Small Forward but i wish he has more of Glen Rice's athletic Skill. Both have similar ball handling and shot actually with Rice having more range.

I guess im just ACC tweener draft fatigued by the Bobcats.

*i cannot believe i quoted myself..lol i meant to just edit.

No way Barnes will be a 20ppg guy. Go back and watch the NCAA Tournament. He was completely unable to break down his defender and create his own shot. He will struggle early in his career.

Yes. Yes. Seriously. Go back and look at only two games from a 60+ game career and you will know everything you need to know. *rolleyes*

99.9% of the rookies who come to the NBA are not good at breaking down their defenders off the dribble and creating a good shot. Hell 95% of the NBA players aren't that good at it.

You do realize that when you have a guy (like White) that you don't even have to guard and two post players that are always in the paint it is impossible for nearly anyone to consistently create their own shot.

Not to mention that UNC doesn't run the type of offense that allows a guy to dribble around trying to create a shot.

Plus he excels at something that is actually more important than creating shots and that is making contested shots.

I am not saying we should draft #2 but I can see why we might. And if we do he has the tools to become an all-star

Go back and watch how he played when Marshall went down. He looked slow and lost. He was absolutely unable to break his man down or create his own shot.

I am just not a fan of his game right now.
