Could Walker/Barnes be the next Westbrook/Durant?


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
