Henson is so stupid. I dont even understand how someone can be that dumb

Henson is brain dead, he must fill some sort of quota for UNC

My impression of Barnes, perimeter scorer with occasional drive (ie. doesnt look to drive but rather stay outside). Doesnt hustle on defence and if its an issue in college, it will be a bigger one in the pros. He can shoot though but I didnt see that many contested tough shots. A player who would be a nice addition to a Demar/Ed combo with his outside shot. Im concernced about his effort level though.

It did look like a goaltend, but it wasn't a 3 so it didn't really matter.

Looks like Henson's stock is falling because of that play lol

Barnes reminds me of Joe Johnson for some reason.

Errr, nevermind. Didn't see this was about Barnes.

Lol ? His effort level is obviously seen in every game, he plays hard on both ends. He doesn't hustle on defense? He doesn't hustle on D? Can't you see his footwork, he gets up on his man most of the time.

Did you watch the game? Most of his contributions came on the defensive end.

i dont know whats worse, Henson doing that or the Wizards losing to the Nets at home without Deron Williams playing.

Well, I got a different impression than you did from watching that game.

I thought he made some key steals down the stretch, got some timely rebounds, and made a clutch 3. I agree that his shot selection is iffy at times, but I felt that he was giving full effort out there.

Right now, offensively, he's incomplete. But, that's where the potential comes in for Barnes. He's got a great work ethic reportedly, so one can expect him to make incremental improvements along the way. He probably won't ever be a great ballhandler though.

I'd say by his 3rd season in the NBA, you'll see a more finished product in Harrison Barnes.

I got Javale McGee vibes from that play. Yikes. He was huge in the 2nd half for them, though.

or that smart wizard dude who tossed the ball up and ends up in Mo Pete's hand for game winning shot

Henson is not dumb, he's immature. You can see he's getting way too excited and flustered by the magnitude of the game. Guys like Javale McGee are just plain stupid.

Mr.Raptorsingh · Post #500 » by **Mr.Raptorsingh** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 6:27 pm

I don't think he's dumb either. He just got a bit too excited there at the end.
