Could Walker/Barnes be the next Westbrook/Durant?

lol. Did you seriously just compare Barnes to probably the best scorer in the NBA? Barnes can't even do crap against college guys. If we were to waste a pick on Barnes, it better not be until the second round.

And before anyone says something about that, no I don't actually think Barnes will last even close to the second round. But he's not worth a first.

You use a first on a guy who has a high ceiling. This year, both Kemba and BSmack have extremely high ceilings but decent bust potential as well. Either one has potential to turn into a superstar. Barnes is nothing more than a decent sixth man. His ceiling is not that high but the UNC homers try to play it out like he is the best thing to come out of NC since MJ. I mean seriously, it's ridiculous that all of you think he's even close to being in the same conversation as Kevin Durant.

Well the comparisons to Kevin Durant are stupid. And I do think it is possible that Barnes won't be a top 3 pick (think 4th or 5th in the draft), especially when it isn't clear that he would have been a top 3 pick in this year's draft.

Lots of homerism and haterism going on in this thread. Call Barnes what he is-- overhyped but still a very talented player that could improve substantially next season.

      I miss many of the OGs like @ladypanther Zob had a bad off week and came in here to do some mopping and a couple of the 10 year 15k post account he just banned over a silly disagreement, just odd behavior from Zob. A Pessimal deal happened with Lady and others. I tired to find a new forum and could not get around the signing up part...same for discord. Its not perfect here by any means, but I still feel welcomed here for the most part and this place does have the most freedom. I hate how the right vs left BS nearly cooked this place, I still believe in removing the litterbox, toxic as hell and lollolols @ anyone coming into a team forum to talk about pointless politics of the uni party turds.  @Bear Hands you saved this place with your activity. It helped offset the lost of OGs and the knowledgeable that leftd.    It would help for new members and I do get the spammers deals, just got to mod them away and hope opening the door brings in fresh blood.

      That seems about right. No higher than that for a bottom third qb with two years left, including one expensive year. He played well enough last year to show he is startable. It depends on whether other teams thought he has any upside left and whether he's been hindered by coaching and surrounding cast. I think most teams would answer no, but if they thought he could step it up just a little I could see trading a fourth or fifth for a bridge guy/top tier backup.
