I dont agree, shooting percentage doesnt always tell the story. It depends what kind of shots they are.A guy like rudy is only shooting 33% from three this year yet is considered a very good three point shooter. Barnes has the range, have him work on his jumpshot for a whole summer like Demar and he could easily become a good three point shooter

Both Barnes and Perry Jones are Bargnani 2.0. I don't mind Bargnani, but can some of those people accept their problems? Perry Jones being soft on the perimeter and not good at rebounding (6' 11", freaking 7 footer). And Barnes staying on the perimeter and take jump shots (not gonna drive?).
Disagree. Perry's problem is being soft and a confidence enigma. Barnes' problem is not being as talented as people thought. His game is shooting 3s and running the floor, and he's not even that good a shooter. Barnes isn't driving cause his handle sucks.
I agree with the Perry Bargnani comparison. But Perry is more talented than Bargnani. Bargs' rebounding and defensive IQ sucks, but he also has lift issues. Perry's athleticism and length under most circumstances would give him great d and rebounding potential. Will he realize it, I dunno, but he's more talented than Bargnani. Who mind you is a 22ppg player
Bargnani's IQ is alright, he just doesn't do it (confidence and sense of urgent, I suppose).
And it depends on how you rate talent. If you rate quickness ahead of size (which is the current NBA settings), sure, Bargnani is gonna lose out, since Perry can guard SF. However, you can't dismiss Bargnani can draw opponent PF/C out, and compliment others better than Perry.
Anyway, the key thing is, do you have the trust on drafting Bargnani 2.0? Or someone worst?

Since Kendall Marshall became a starter 13 games ago (which is when everyone on UNC turned it around) his averages have been the following:
19.6/6.4/1.4 with 1.4 steals, .5 blocks. 47% FG, 38% 3pt, 81% FT in 30.7 minutes.

He was never as bad a shooter as his stats suggested though. Like DD, in college his mid range jumper was pretty money but then he struggled with it when he got to the nba. But now its back. Barnes struggled with it but hes always had good form and range, it was just a matter of consistency. Barnes is a solid shooter who will only get better. Him and DD are quite similar in my opinion, their games are different but they both have the tools to be really good. They also have the work ethic and bodies to go with it. Its just a matter of putting it all together.

Does triple threat position hinder his quick first step development? Because every time he catches the ball he'll subconsciously and automatically do the triple threat stand as opposed to catch and drive quickly.

It wouldnt hinder your 1st step. Because you can obvously have a great 1st step outta the triple threat position. But if you dont go to the triple threat and just catch and move with the ball in stride then that should get you moving quicker. A lot of ppl tend to travel when doing that tho.

Baylor didn't put him in any iso positions as far as I am aware of. In his mixes theres clips of him breaking ppl down like a gaurd would. He was killin **** in da All american game & HS and being only a freshman, I don't see how he could of lost that ability over the span of less than a yr.

He was named ACC Defensive Player of the Year this week.
He's also made a remarkable improvement.
