37 and counting for Barnes

Wow nearly 40 points. Hopefully he continues to play well

How tall is Barnes really. LIke Can he play SF in the NBA, I really do not want to move Derozan to SF. I'm starting to warm up to the idea of trading down and picking up Barnes. Depending on who we get in return + barnes, this team would be totally different then any1 could've thought.

Damn, barnes finishes with 40! Raps will be lucky if hes around when were picking.

40 pts on 19 FGAs.

Very impressive.

Not too well (or we won't have a shot at him). DX ranking him at 12 is a joke. They had Tyreke Evans in the exact same spot in April-May of '09. At the end of the day I still expect HB to go top 3-4.

I'm afraid so :lol:

But damn, can y'all kindly recap his performance today?!?!! How the ape hell he pulls off 40 pts ?!??!

Silk Wilkes · Post #1131 » by **Silk Wilkes** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:37 pm

40 pts, 12-17 FGs, 6-8 3PTs, 10-11 FTs, 8 rebs. He seems like more than a jump shooter from this line, but I didn't watch the game.

First off Barnes is a legit SF. He has ideal size for that position being 6'8 with a good wingspan. If the Raptors want Harrison Barnes and i hope they do, we wont be trading down to get him because he will definetly be going in the top 5.

Where's the HB haters at? 40 pts performance man, HATERS!!

Mr.Raptorsingh · Post #1134 » by **Mr.Raptorsingh** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:39 pm

Most of the latter FT attempts were the result of intentional fouls.

But, he hit some big, clutch shots when it mattered most.

Great game by Barnes. He showed a glimmer of the star potential today.

I think Sullinger could slide. Washington could take him, I guess, but I can't see anyone else in that top 5 go after him.

6-8 3FG's, 10-11 FTs for Barnes

Yes and thats perfect in my opinion for us. If any thing raptor fans should be salivating at the chance to get a good young defender and rebounder who has very good range and athletism. Not to mention his great work ethic. We need a Shooter like him to pair with DD. They would form amazing duo if they both reach there potential

Agreed. Plus, it's not like he has a low ceiling. People are judging him on his early season performance and all of a sudden saying he can't improve. Those same hypocrites were on his jock before the season started.

I might be overeacting but raptor fans were always complaining about our lack of good swingmen after VC left. Now imagine if we get DD who was an amazing prospect and Barnes who was an amazing prospect. Both players stock dropped once they played in college though. But we could possibly have 2 of the best young swingmens if we snag Barnes.
