I'm a UNC fan and the best case scenario is a Luol Deng type of player.

He is not going to be a superstar forget about it

Luol Deng > poor mans Gerald Wallace

Harrison Barnes will be a star. They said the same thing about Jordan, Durant, Wade,

[kman72]

barnes could be a star, i dont think he will be. but his chances are lower than MKG or beal at being a true star in the league, both MKG and beal are "safer" picks


umm... alot of people knew durant was going to be a star, and dwade would have had more hype if it wasnt the yr of bron and C anthony

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Lol they never said that about Jordan or Durant.

Those are players that were the second and third overall picks in the draft and could/should have been higher except for some odd reason Portland as a franchise tends to draft worse than us and took Sam Bowie and Greg Oden.

Wade had a little skepticism but he was the fifth pick which is exactly where Barnes should be picked.

Also

Andre Iguodala > Luol Deng

Draft Express does NBA Comparisons based on certain things and conduct great interviews. Here are there comparisons for the five guys we are looking at.

Thomas Robinson- Best Case: Al Horford, Worst Case: Reggie Evans
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist- Best Case: Andre Iguodala, Worst Case: Gerald Wallce
Bradley Beal- Best Case: Eric Gordon, Worst Case: Gary Neal
Harrison Barnes- Best Case: Luol Deng, Worst Case: 6-8 Aaron Afflalo
Andre Drummond- Best Case: Serge Ibaka, Worst Case: DeAndre Jordan

Barnes has the intangibles of an extremely hard work ethic & the clutch gene. He has a smooth jumpshot & great range. He is a tall & strong SF. But yeah, lets draft the wing who can't shoot past 10ft & has a worst looking jumpshot than Shaq.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Or lets draft Thomas Robinson who is a walking double-double.

he will never avg a dbl dbl in the NBA

[Panther_Brotherhood]

he will never avg a dbl dbl in the NBA

Why wouldn't he?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

He has a better chance of avg. a double-double than HB40 has of becoming a superstar.

It's time to stop being a homer and put on your big boy pants.

The only guy that deserves to be picked second in Thomas Robinson.

After that, you can either pick an offensive minded player in Bradley Beal or Harrison Barnes, a defensive minded player in Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, or an athletic player in Andre Drummond.

Thomas Robinson is best overall player next to Anthony Davis. All you have to do is watch them go head to head in the NCAA Finals.

[Panther_Brotherhood]

I honestly would love MKG I just don't think he is worth a top 5 pick. Maybe not even a top 10

TRob will avg 10-12pt & 6-8rb....nothing special

Barnes can avg 25pt & 4-6rb

Lol you're just a homer

Barnes didn't even average 20 points and 6 rebounds in the NCAA.

He will be a 15 and 5 guy.

T-Rob can be a 15 and 10 guy.

Lol don't kid yourself, he is a top 10 pick. Especially in this years draft.

[B.B.S]

He will be a 15 and 5 guy.

T-Rob can be a 15 and 10 guy.

Saying T-Rob will score as much as Barnes in the NBA proves how much of an idiot you are.

How am I a homer? I hate UNC. I went to Charlotte then Wake Forest grad school.

Keep believing that.

Actually, Barnes averaged 23 points per 40 minutes, in a UNC system that favors interior players and point guards, in a league (NCAA) that prioritizes zone defense and hand-checking.

This is the problem for UNC players. Any time is clear that you're a better fit for the Bobcats, morons will always assume that people who do believe that only believe it because you're a "local product."
