LOL @ all the bad responses on Barnes. His ceiling is very high. Players get better.

I think people are just paranoid now b/c the Bobcats drafted Felton and May from UNC and they think anytime they draft a player now from UNC, they will be a bust.

I would love Barnes. Not at 2, but at 4 or 6 if we trade w/cleveland or portland.

i like him at 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. i think though if we trade to 6, he's gone. he's going to be taken high. i see him gone by pick 5. the Kings and Cavs both need a shooter like Barnes. now, me personally, i think he has to be one of TWO guys we should look into. forget Robinson and Drummond, they are needs, but small forward to me is the BIGGEST need. Kidd-Gilchrist or Barnes should be the pick and both would be GREAT picks in my book. both have potential to be great in the nba and i think both can be peices to build with.

We will be in a title it will read "Jordan botches top 5 pick again"

Only because most sports writers and talkers are idiots. Taylor Zarzour and Marc James being proof of that.

Jordan has NEVER botched a pick, individually.

Kwame Brown was a consensus Top 3 pick & #1 on most boards that year. Where is the media's criticism of itself for how Brown busted?

Jordan preferred Brandon Roy over Adam Morrison, but there was A LOT OF PRESSURE from white Charlotte at the time to pick the mustache (Morrison). Jordan made the business, not basketball decision. Is white Charlotte ripping ITSELF for how wrong it was about Morrison?

If Jordan drafts Barnes, it'll probably be the one time he hits a home run, because most of THE REST OF YOU IDIOTS and the media don't think he should.

Anyone can learn to dribble.

Well the issue with Barnes isnt his dribbling so much as his slow first step. Without the ability to get ahead of the defender, he tends to lose focus and over-dribble. He's not explosive enough to ever be an elite scorer in the NBA, and the sooner he realizes that and stops trying to play that way the better off he will be. If he accepts his role as a shooter who can spread the floor and learns to post up smaller defenders, he could be a really nice player though

You don't need a quick first step to get by a defender, just a good go to move.

Bobcats' tweet about Harrison Barnes. What are they thinking, lol:

Steve Kyler ‏@stevekylerNBA

Harrison Barnes talks NBA Draft at the NBA Draft Combine --- video is here ---

For some reason, he kind of reminds me of Kobe in that interview.

I wouldn't hate this pick...love the potential. But the inevitable chorus of groans and whining from ABCers would make it that much worse.

This team needs a scorer. Harrison Barnes is a scorer. Now he wouldnt be my choice for the 2nd pick but I wouldnt be disappointed either.

Kemba

Henderson

Barnes

Mullens

Biyombo

Thats a good young nucleus. We will continue to add to that. If yall are looking for a franchise changer outside of Anthony Davis in this draft, you are kidding yourselves. One piece at a time.

Yea, I got the Kobe vibe from Harrison, as well. I really hope we pick Barnes. I just feel like we haven't seen the best of him yet, plus we need scoring bad. I will be a little upset if we have to start Henderson again. He would be better off the bench. I just hope we don't take MKG

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
