103243, I don't see how Barnes is gonna be any good Posted by MothershipConnection, Thu May-31-12 11:53 AM
What does he do well? He's a decent but not shutdown defender. He doesn't create plays for others. He doesn't have freakish athleticism. He's not a dead eye long range shooter. He's not good enough to be a team's #1 scorer (any good team at least).
With MKG, at least you're getting an NBA level defender and rebounder right today. You know he can get out on the break, plus he can pass, and if he fixes his shot at all he'll be useful in the half court. Plus no team in their right mind is going to make him a primary scorer right away, so he'll have time to grow into his role, while Barnes's value is all predicated on him putting the ball through the hoop.
