Well in terms of defense MKG is better but Barnes has all the tools to be a good defender.

Im all for barnes proving me wrong. Im still rooting for him.


Really? I think it goes beyond the numbers for Barnes. He has a perfect form and release, so I think he's a good shooter.

Truthfully I don't care how Barnes has played in this tournament. I had him fringe top 15 as a prospect months ago. I was just hoping for his flaws to be exposed enough so we don't have to discuss taking him 2nd or 3rd if we're at that range since that would be brutal.
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

Well to be fair, MKG plays with fearless guts every possession while Harry is more of the confident issue. When he's not confident he stumbles.

Um, I don't think anyone takes your top 15 draft board that seriously.

There is no way Barnes falls down to 15th. I'd like to see the list of players going ahead of him. :lol:
