Wow Barnes is smooth.

He looks to be about the same height as Amir, so I think he can succeed. I don't think he has Super-star upside, but he could be a border-line perennial all-star type, and frankly I would take that at this point.

If we can get Harden, I'm all for T-Rob as our pick. If no Harden, screw it and just get Harrison Beal.

Man, Harrison Barnes' jumper is :droop:. You just know the ball is going to go in whenever Barnes pulls up.

QUOTE DR MUFESA!

t's not that they yearn for Barnes specifically, it's that they want to build around the Bargnani and Valanciunas frontcourt, so any wing player looks better than a PF/C.

It's the same reason Q Mill is top 5 in popularity in this board and more talked about than Robinson and Sullinger overall while being a fringe top 20 talent.

People just have a really hard time with the idea of displacing one of our "future starter"s.

----------------------

I don't think thats it because they view Barnes on a pedestal compared to everyone else; hence a better SF in MKG is still disregarded in favour of Barnes.
I think the reason why people are pro Q Miller is just because of the potential.

The PF stuff I find a bit weird because everyone is cool in taking Drummond and DAvis, but very reluctant about T-rob and Sully.

Look at Barnes battling underneath the basket for the offensive rebound.

Robinson looks fantastic. Showing some versatility on offense, and on top of that he's a phenomenal rebounder. If we end up with him and trade Ed I wouldn't complain.
