That jumper is so smooth and silky, just buttery. Mmm...

Barnes definitely would be a really good fit for us. I think the fact that he is a very coachable player with a solid skill set already makes him difficult to pass up on if he's OTB while we pick (assuming we are at 3 or so).

I think I'm starting to prefer him over MKG.

I would like to watch the Nevada-Iona as it is an intriguing game of two teams that could possibly get at larges with the awfully weak bubble.

But its hard to take a game seriously when every trip down you see the four door entrance to the gym right beneath the basket.

Doesn't this guy named Jennings on Clemson look a lot like a lighter skinned Jalen Rose?

MKG is Iggy type of player, Barnes is granger/TMAC type of player .... a go to player at the offensive end.. Toronto right now need a go to offensive player at the wing more then someone like Iggy ..

All aboard the Barnes bandwagon! I'm still hoping for a Barns/James/LK rotation at the SF next year. I'd add AK47, but it'd get too cluttered.

What do people think about Gorgui Dieng? I think he'd be a nice backup for Big V.

He's made some very very nice passes. He has like 7 assists and only 1 turnover I think.

He's likr jose without the jumper but better D and dribbles... I think he's the best available option for us at the point other than jennings. He's the player i'd hope we target with a 2nd pick if we were to ever get one

I think their is a big big difference; Marshall can attack and is a much better creator for others than Jose. His court vision if you ask me is much better. Jose has a tendency of turning players into jump shooters.

Barnes is definitely going to be a player in this league.

Looking really solid today out there.

I know I've kinda been championing the pro-Barnes camp the last 2 years, but he is looking so good. I really think that Barnes would be perfect with our core.
