He made some good plays down the stretch today, after his bad shooting in the first half, but really he just looks like a good college player at this point, hes got some size but he doesn't show me any outstanding offensive skills, hes pretty good all around but is he an all star? Hes hasn't proven to me yet that he can be a top 2 guy on a winning team in the NBA. Hes not a great rebounder or passer either, not an outstanding defender or athlete really, looks like he might be Luol deng with less defense and more handle. Not bad, but guys like Lamb, Beal, MKG, PJ3, Qmiller , all might not be there yet but these are all wings with far more potential at this point, Maybe not better players in college but more potential to be big in the NBA. Infact MKG is a far more impactful, valuable player in his first year in college than barnes in his second....
I disagree with you on those bold part. He definitely has a variety of offensive repertoire to his game and more than what other prospects than shown, u can argue those are freshmen that didn't expand their game yet but he's far more advanced offensively than PJ3 and perhaps equal or more to Lamb.
Honestly I don't know that lamb has many different moves, I'd say HB has a more extensive repitore. Lamb is a bit more athletic though and that is probably the major difference other then playmaking ability.
