UNC is horrible, if Barnes not on fire in a game the whole team automatically lose

Irving was going CP3 mode tonight, amazing. Barnes showed his handles but couldn't finish and his shots were ice cold.

You guys think we would have a chance to move up high enough to get Kyrie if we ended up getting like the 6-9th pick. I'm getting scared with these wins...

Not a chance, with 6 to 9th pick we'll prolly have a chance at Brandon Knight, Kyrie is likely be 2nd or 3rd pick.

Kyrie had another big game tonight and he did it all in only 25mins. 13pts 9assists 3rebs ZERO turnovers.

He played some great defense tonight too as he has all year. He has NO PROBLEM getting after his man and getting in his face with big pressure. Obviously they only played Colgate tonight but he has done it in every game this year. Solid court vision displayed by him tonight.

As far as Brandon Knight goes, I'd be very happy..VERY smart kid, VERY smart. At this stage, however, he is more of a scoring guard.

Knight's shot selections are questionable and he's doing too much, playing way too fast, settle down Knight! But he's the reason they're winning right now in the game

Wow Barnes 0 for 12 against a non ranked team

?

I watched most of the first half and he barely got any touches and UNC looked
horribly coached by Roy Williams. Im surprised to see that statline though.

Iriving 13 points 9 dimes 0 TO's with 3 Treys nice....

Barnes is anything but a consensus number 1 pick to me.... I've never been blown away
by anything i've seen out of him and it seems hes being anointed number 1 pick because
this draft is so shallow.

If Irving keeps it up I wouldn't be surprised to see him go 1st over all when its all said and done
but Barnes doesn't look like a lock to go first overall to me.

Also Selby finally got cleared to play in mid December for Kansas...

If the Raps over achieve and get stuck to the mid to late lottery he'd be a nice consolation
prize.

I just feel that Barnes is not suited to Roy William's system, too much ball movement and less chance for isolation and seeing Barnes just doing jump shots after jump shots and not attacking at all is just lame. If Barnes was playing for john calipari he would have a larger offensive role like I've seen from Terrence Jones (always gets isolation play). But yeah he's remains the first pick since he still has an insane skill set. He's just struggling now so it won't harm his 1st pick status.

with the way the raptors are playing lately and also with the fact Irving is playing pretty decent so far and with possiblity of irving being forecasted as number 1 pick, we may have to look at alternatives i can see us having a 6 or 7th pick+ so as an alternative maybe take a look brandon knight and other promising PG's.

SwiftyV · Post #438 » by **SwiftyV** » Sat Nov 20, 2010 10:58 pm

If we don't get a top 3 or so pick what do you guys think of Kentucky's Terrance Jones? 6'8 wing player. NBA ready body has been playing very well for Kentucky early on.

wtfbosh · Post #439 » by **wtfbosh** » Sat Nov 20, 2010 11:02 pm

He's pretty good, kind of a jack of all trades. I would probably still go with Brandon Knight before picking Jones if we land out of the top 5 though just cause we really need a PG (especially now that Jack's gone).

fredericklove · Post #440 » by **fredericklove** » Sun Nov 21, 2010 9:36 pm

Harrison Barnes playing at 5:30 today. Let's see if he can bounce back from a poor performance last game.
