Yeah, the only reason Barnes was picked over MKG was because of team success. 

 

I've already shown in another thread how MKG easily had the better all around season. Not to say that my word > all, but simple statistics and advanced statistics all easily support MKG having the better season. 

 

MKG was easily a top 5 rookie, only behind Lillard, Davis, and Drummond. Although, you could certainly make arguments for guys like Beal and Waiters. However, one could counter that argument with defense and rebounding (MKG was a top notch defensive player his rookie season, and a top notch rebounder for a SF).

You can thank Dunlap's stupid ass for this.  MKG wouldn't see the court for 99% of second halves this season because of his retarded "rotations."  MKG started the season off fine and showed flashes of greatness and then Dunlap put him in the fridge.

Ask yourself this question.

 

Would GS be better with Barnes or MKG?

 

Would CHA be better with Barnes or MKG?

 

Barnes is better..period.  I love MKG and am glad he is a Bobcat, but Barnes has unlimited potential and is finally starting to realize it.  The list looks pretty accurate to me.

if harrison barnes played for a non-playoff team, he wouldn't have made it IMO

 

This sounds like a UNC hater comment. 

 

Do you have any evidence to back this up? It's not like he plays for the lakers dude. Most people didn't even hear about the Warriors until 2 weeks ago. Steph didn't even make the NBA All Star game! 

 

Maybe you missed Barnes light up the Spurs this series. If he didn't get hurt last night, there's a strong possibility for a game 7.

I had to enlighten BigQueefDaddy in the NCAA forum about Barnes. He made some asinine comment that Barnes had to come back to UNC for another year to improve his draft stock. LOL. 

 

Harrison Barnes hit the jackpot by coming back for another season at UNC. He absolutely went to one of the best possible situations and that GS team's potential is off the chart. If they can get a legitimate big man that can bang down low & with a healthy David lee....that team is going to be at the top of the Western Conference for years to come. 

 

Steph, Thompson, and Harry are a serious contender for best shooting trio in the NBA.

I'm just saying that his particular supporting cast seems to have helped him 1) perform better and 2)gain more visibility than MKG.

    • Brandon Miller undergoes shoulder surgery, out indefinitely https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48696969/hornets-brandon-miller-surgery-shoulder-instability  
    • I never thought a second look was even necessary. I was begging the football gods not to have us trade up to the 1st pick. And damn once we did it was a thoroughbred vs a little pony.    If you have a perceived generational player in the pool and you have the 1st pick, you just don’t trade it. In the first place. But all this Bryce drama - which (understandably) takes over almost any thread, just like this one - would never have happened if the team was not sold to Tepper. 
    • I agree. I understand why he did though. And surely he had his parents in his ear who have always gone out of their way to make sure he always had the best and the least amount of adversity around him to that point in his life advising him to do so. Where I take the most issue with it is when people who just want to be sycophants start listing off other QB's who didn't throw at the combine and you don't even make it through half the names before your eyes roll right into the back of your head realizing every single of those QB's who didn't throw already clearly showcased the necessary prerequisite physical talents needed for the position.
