103248, MKG...not a star but a very good, multi-faceted wing player

His versatility, motor, physicality, and mindset will have him contributing in numerous ways. He can handle the ball, can attack off the dribble, very good hands, good vision for a SF, incredible body control, very crafty around the rim with his footwork, finishes well at the rim, he will scrap on the block, goes hard on the glass, will defend the opponents best player, and is relentless with his effort. He's going to be that guy who fills in numerous holes and support gaps for a team. If he can improve his jumper, watch out.

Barnes is the better shooter right now but even that has been inconsistent...hell, all parts of his game were inconsistent at UNC. He never really impressed in any facet of the game. He didn't show great burst or lateral quickness, his handle is mediocre, he dribbles way too upright, never showed any penchant for physicality on the defensive end. He still has a good amount of potential but I'd rather have the player in MKG's who is relentless, physical, and willing to do anything it takes.
