I starting to be on the Harrison Barnes Bandwagon.

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.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By KSpan · Posted

      As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.

      Ja'Tavion Sanders avoids serious injury

      By Captroop · Posted

      I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
