"Does Harrison Barnes belong in the D-League?"
Wed Dec-19-12 01:03 AM by Basaglia

  

          


half of y'all who love barnes (the "more fluid paul pierce" the truth) partied throughout rivers struggles...well, barnes has been terrible for a good 3 weeks...not a word about it.

but, i can take that from the agenda-bammas.

but, all y'all "impartial" bammas like shawn callin out austin and IGNORING the struggles of THE NEXT MELO...THE NEXT KOBE...THE NEXT HILL...THE NEXT T-MAC...y'all are garbage, dogg.

maybe duke-hate is just some addiction/disease and you bammas just in denial about it.

you can't pretend to be impartial and give passes to sorry niggas. i can take that shit from noted duke-haters, but y'all were gonna IGNORE this...he score NOTHING tonight...two months into the season when niggas supposed to improve...he the same ol' stiff ass ROLE PLAYER...nah, it's a TOPIC.

draymond big tennessee bus driver lookin ass bout to take his spot and we talkin about it.

let's get it

Dec 19th 2012
53
                          honestly, i don't want anyone to fail (except kobe).
Dec 19th 2012

Apr 24th 2013
84

Apr 24th 2013
91
           you said he was a more fluid paul pierce, dogg....FOH!!!
Apr 24th 2013
93
           he could be, their rookie numbers per 36 minutes are pretty close...
Apr 24th 2013
95
                i'll take this as a double down
Apr 24th 2013
96
                     cool, kinda like this?:

106
                                              except worse
Apr 24th 2013
111
                                                   not possible, Barnes is already closer to Pierce than Austin is to being...
Apr 24th 2013
112
                                                        barnes gotta be better than a HOFer, dude
Apr 24th 2013
115
                                                             not neccesarily "better" just more fluid, and let's be real for a minute...
Apr 24th 2013
116
           I'm saying, you don't watch College Basketball...
Apr 24th 2013
102
but he very well could be a star on another team
Apr 24th 2013
81
why you making this about YOUR TEAM? it's about HIM.
Apr 24th 2013

that's because he went to duke and didn't panic when stuff fell through. it certainly didn't occur to him to use his DEGREE to become a car salesman.

17. "lol...Jay Williams got insurance money...he should have used"
In response to Reply # 9


  

          

his Duke education to know he should have worn a helmet on that motorcyle.... His dumb ass should have also gotten a license to ride motorcycle...

or he could have just abided by his contract with the Bulls and not rode a motorcyle at all..


So let's see...

dumb ass nigga ruins his career and damn near kills himself while violating his contract without a helmet or a license....


lololol..

nigga log off....

Ed O'Bannon is far from broke and has shown a hell of a lot more intelligence and character than Jay Williams...

i already know you mad, but y'all resorting to bad taste to get a "w"...it's sad at this point. like, i never thought you'd co-sign WC. but, mad is what mad does.

j-will thing is his fault...not denying it. but why is that even in this thread. it's irrelevant. and you co-signing just to get it in

now, hurley? he was hit broadside by a dude who tested positive for speed and was driving without his headlights on and WITH AN EXPIRED LICENSE. oh, but that's hurley fault? party time, huh?

at this point, i'mma just ignore WC, because UCLA a dumpster fire and he mad. and i'mma ignore you, too. if bammas can't keep it above the belt, i'm done.

it ain't even that complicated. i'm nipping this in the bud.

I spit facts like lasers..

you get hit because of your dellusional attacks on players that didn't play for Duke..

Warren Coolidge shines that truth light on them Dookies to balance your non-sense.

A fan of a team that Jay Williams and Bobby Hurley played for shouldn't make character attacks on Ed O'Bannon...

that shit's just too easy..

lolololol.....

he is SORRY and these dudes seriously tryna give him a pass. i'm honestly disgusted by this. like, i been coming to this board for the past couple weeks tryna not be the guy to start the thread. but, he and austin played tonight. austin looked like an NBA player. barnes looked like exactly what i thought he'd look like.

this needs to be discussed. all i'm sayin.

they got walked down and i'mma talk about it.

It's not hate.

But it's not personal. I'm grossly indifferent to all schools that aren't UK.

I have other players I like that are non-UK.

It's just that you say, "***insert Blue Devil*** is so and so." and I don't care.

No offense.

16. "he looks an awful lot like a less developed dorell wright"
In response to Reply # 8


          

who they already had and wasn't terribly good. i may be biased because i thought they were pretty similar pre-draft and didn't understand the pick.

he's looking worse based on draymond green playing some fantastic minutes on both side of the ball and earning late game minutes, in barnes' stead.

my only agenda in any of this is really liking to watch the warriors play basketball.

barnes hasn't played well and has been outplayed by draymond.

that much is hard to argue.

i still blame hip-hop.

the point is rivers' early struggles were spotlighted here, while barnes dip in production and losing time to draymond has been ignored.

Its an L in the making for the doubters.

Last 5 games he's at 14, 3, 3 on 48%. Showing significant improvement in all areas including D.

Attacking. Shooting with dat confidence. Making plays.

Hornets coaches talking about how they can't keep this kid out of the gym.


They laughed off that willie winguy shit, but Beal aint got it. Barnes sure as hell aint got it. And if you wanna make it in this league it sure fucking helps if you are addicted to getting better.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

it's as if he needs his number called on by Marc Jackson before he asks for the ball. it's frustrating from a numbers standpoint, but he's answered the call everytime he IS called on.

however, his number is seldom called on because of all the firepower on this team, and Draymond is a better defender and rebounder. he's the 4th option (5th when Bogut comes back) on a team that has its 1st and 2nd option balling out the last 10 or so games, and its 3rd option streaky as fuck.

he most definitely belongs in the league, but is way too happy playing the background. dude needs call for the ball more, straight up.

I was scared that I might have to eat crow for a little on that one, and he may just turn around still.

I was scared the Cavs were gonna pick him

good job, try not getting sucked into a retarded, compulsive agenda. Barnes has a long way to go, but he's really not in a position to put up great stats yet. He hasn't really found his shot yet, but his moves to the hoop have been a nice surprise. The jury is still WAYYY out. I'm a Warriors fan and could care less about UNC and could care less about some stupid "nope! you mad" agenda.

haven't been paying attention but before I quit doing the Rookie Watch post at the end of November due to End of the Year music write-ups, Barnes was starting to be one of the five most consistent stat stuffing rooks.


But that WAS just late November.

things that don't necessarily show up on box scores; he's easily one of our most versatile and best defenders ... on a smaller squad like ours, having a SF who can rebound as well as he does is huge



but if big points are what you're looking for, there are plenty of other rookies to choose from who are doin that on shitty losing squads

he gonna always be a ROLE PLAYER and he gonna get that non-dukie pass that ALL non-duke lottery picks that become ROLE PLAYERS get.

when redick gets traded to a contender, people still gonna try to clown that he not a STAR, as related to his college hype.

same with hendo...who'll be a FA this summer and will go to a better team and ball.

duke players gotta be STARS or they busts...UNC can put out garbage like barnes, who was supposed to be a once-in-a-generation talent. and he floppin like a fish.

Why are you even bringing up Hendo?? He's a NOBODY, so you might as well leave him out.

Why are you upset about a rookie having a solid season on a winning team? Nobody is saying he's better than Kyrie, and pretty much 99% of UNC fans could tell you he underachieved at UNC (to the point where many of us actively dislike him).

It's kind of sad that you are so determined to take another L on a kid who is doing a solid job in his role and contributing to a good team his rookie year. Let the boy cook.

>he gonna always be a ROLE PLAYER and he gonna get that

>ROLE PLAYERS get.


I don't have a problem calling him a role player, for now, but his offensive ceiling is still high dude. His ppg has steadily risen since December and he takes quality shots (ie his field goal pct) ... I would like to see him play more aggressively on offense from time to time (Coach jackson said as much the other day too)


and even if he does continue to be just a role player, he's a big piece of our squad that helps us win games. If this continues, I can see Barnes and Brandon Rush competing for the SF position next year when he gets healthy

but how else are we going to display our Duke hate? lol


you're definitely right here about the metric for Duke players though. People don't realize that players need the right system they can fit into for success in the league. It's not just about getting placed on a winning team.


as much as I would loved to have Kidd-Gilchrist at the start of the season, I would not take him over Barnes right today. Folks might think I'm crazy for saying that, but Barnes' game is perfectly suited for the style of bball we play in Oakland.

barnes defenders talk about how he doesn't need to be one of his team's primary scoring options, which is true, but then the question becomes : what else is he contributing? is he doing things besides scoring to help his team win games?

i know jimmy does. every single night.

he's soaking up all kinds of game in practice from pippen and deng. he knows that's his lane (second banana do-it-all) and he's basically been doing a poor man's luol the last 5 gms (40 mpg, 15 ppg, 8 rpg, 4 apg, 48 fg, 23 for 24 on ft, balls-out defense)

yeah, gar and paxson have had a pretty good late-1st-rd run the last few years (taj, buckets, teague's a keeper too)

you see this kid step up and play the FOUR spot last night?


you see this kid bang with the bigs down low for tough rebounds that our undersized team desperately needed?


you see him guard the other team's best player ?


(and since you're so big on scoring, you see him put up 24 right??)



he was so effective George Karl adjusted his lineup to match what we were doing

OKS loves to recalibrate players career trajectories.

Nah, he was SUPPOSED to be a STAR.

you can do the game-to-game thing and puff up your chest when he does well, but y'all ain't going nowhere, he won't be an all-star no more than what...ONCE?

i don't even get at that dude no more. but, if you wanna start it back up, i'd be fine with it.

notable exceptions being the "cautious" UNC fans (like myself, especially after that second season), and numark216 (who said, and I paraphrase, that his ceiling was a poor man's Joe Johnson)

that hype was unreal.

In response to Reply # 84


          

and a handful of other people.

Honestly I didn't know anything about until Bags started hyping when he thought he was going to Duke. I had my doubts about him then just for the simple fact that he was from Iowa and and I wondered about the level of competition he was playing. Then he picked UNC and Bags turned on but after actually seeing him play at UNC it was obvious that he had NBA-level athleticism and skills. It was always obvious that he had a good head on his shoulders.

his bball iq and athleticism are that good that he's capable of doing just that

I don't even expect him to make the all star team even once, but that's not my expectations. I expect him to continue finding his place in our offense that already has three very capable weapons.

I expect him to continue playing the quality level of defense (kid can guard the other team's 2,3 and in some cases 4) and grabbing boards that we always need


There's also something to be said about this kid's attitude. You're a lottery top 10 pick, highly touted by scouts and everyone calling you the next ______ ... and you come in contributing with the little things that helps a team like GSW win games.

He could have came in and over asserted himself out of the lineup, but his bball IQ is very high, he knows how to fit into a system -- more rookies in this league need to know how to do that

you wasn't cysing that bamma when i first mentioned his name on this board. were you in the fray when threads were poppin up about just how DOMINANT he would be in the league in a few years? how he'd be better than carmelo from day 1?

i have nothing against the warriors. this is about harrison barnes being a BUST. yeah, i said BUST. he not a star, so he's a BUST.

all your feelings about him based on your warrior fandom is of absolutely no interest to me.

it's never just about one player.. .especially when we're talking about a rookie. It's about how he fits into a system on a winning team (idk how many different times i've said that to you dude)

idk anything about this, I just see a post talking a kid on my team who's making huge contributions.... we don't win that game last night without him.

and your feelings of him based on some anti-UNC agenda is no use or interest to me either man.. I'm trying to talk about his development over the course of this season, and you just keep bringing it back to scout's/poster's expectations of him?


You're a Lincecum fan so you're still cool with me bro lol

man, STARS ain't gotta "fit"...they shine in any system, some systems to a greater degree, but they shine. he inconsistent and limited. he ain't no damn star.

you don't need to know about it, dogg. it happened.

and y'all can win the series for all i care. it don't matter to me.

absolutely NONE. duke players have gotten the star or BUST treatment for 25 years. UNC players gettin it now. i don't wanna hear about no damn CONTRIBUTIONS...he not a STAR.

>and your feelings of him based on some anti-UNC agenda is no
>use or interest to me either man..

and yet HERE YOU ARE...in my thread...about a UNC player, not a warrior...A UNC PLAYER. so, take a breath, and ask yourself: "should i get the hell outta this thread and just cheer for my team and leave Ba alone to do his thing?"


I'm trying to talk about
>his development over the course of this season, and you just
>keep bringing it back to scout's/poster's expectations of him?

yes. that's exactly what's happened. i'm not interested in your satisfaction with his development. i'm interested in the UNIVERSAL disappointment in his progress toward super stardom since 2009.

>You're a Lincecum fan so you're still cool with me bro lol

solid start last game. control lookin much better, due to improved mechanics. he workin hard. i expect his FB to gain a few ticks as the years goes on.

That was the best game he's played since high school. He didn't show THAT at UNC. Not sure whether that's his fault, Roy's fault, the system's fault, whatever. But that was different than the Calbert Cheaney Jr. he showed at UNC.

he's on the right team. since he has to work and not coast around on hype and the shield of a revered college program, AND he has a really good surrounding cast of players (Spice 1, Klay, et al)... he will improve.

but when he was at UNC he was SouthRaleighMan.

some of that is definitely his fault, he was very passive in the beginning of this season; Warrior fans just chalked it up to him finding his place and getting a feel for the NBA game
(i'm sure you saw that same passivity at UNC )

sometime around the All-Star break is when he showed flashes of what we saw last night in Denver. It's like all of a sudden he realized that he can take cats off the dribble and yam on them when he wants to


not really too sure how Roy's system affected him, but I can say Mark Jackson's system has suited this kid perfectly... he's found his place and he isn't going anywhere

I'd take Kidd-Gilchrist in Oakland over Barnes anygoddamn day



and even comparing the two is kinda dumb to begin with ... one is playing for a sixth seeded team and the other is in Charlotte lol

D-League.
Role Player.
Maybe one all-star game.

You took it too far in this post, you can't backtrack now, just take the L and keep it moving.

You know I don't even give a shit about UNC pros, but if you made a ton of UNC = Busts post, you gotta expect to take some L's.

Just remember that some of Barnes' harshest critics were UNC fans when he wasn't the second coming of Christ for us.

Also, I told you, I don't really care about UNC pros.

like I said, he was SouthRaleighMan, not this "next LeFavre" that SPM and them were talking about... LOL

if he does end up being that "do it all forward" and an All-Star? Good for him. He'd have finally lived up to the hype.

which is why y'all party so hard when i'm "wrong"...y'all worn out by the sher number of prospects i been right about over the years, including barnes not being a "star"

no one thought klay was shit. but, he is. and y'all hate it. so what i get when he's dropping 20ppg next year and making the AS team?

In response to Reply # 190


  

          


my opinion on klay isn't linked to that dude. however, dudes who want HB to do well ALWAYS shit on klay, because they see him as a threat to barnes being the second option.

166. "In 1 1/2 playoff series...Harrison Barnes has already surpassed"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

every player who has ever played for Duke as far as post season performance..

again..and it only took him 1 1/2 series to do it..

think about out??

How from Duke has EVER...Done shit in the NBA postseason???

Who???

Deng?? Boozer?? Magette??? Laetner??? J-Will?? Brand??

what have any of those muthafukkas EVER done in an NBA post-season??

the best they got is Battier last year...

and look...it took him all those years...and all those various teams he been on to finally go somewhere and be a role player and get a ring..

it's crazy Basa but from the time you started this post...until Right today...Harrison Barnes has sonned every player who has ever played for Duke in the circumstance that matters the most in professional basketball..the NBA PLAYOFFS..

I see why you don't have an NBA team...you got to spend so much time coming up with new agendas and shit to avoid talking about these painful facts like this...

when he pretty much beat the champion heat by himself, dropping about 27ppg to do it?

like, nigga...we all have computers. facts can be backed.

here's a link to the series...

http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270427014

you so fuckin butthurt that i shit on barnes that you'd believe old hatin ass COOLIDGE? cause i'm hatin on ONE nigga on your lil team? that's where we at, dogg?

barnes shit don't even outdo what battier did last year...in the title round. damn, you niggas mad.

and i know ALL KINDS OF PLEAS gonna be copped after i just obliterated that dumb shit warren's nasty denim ass said...OR y'all just gonna flat out ignore.

by the way, dogg...you can't act like you don't care about duke-unc or anti-duke shit on this board and that ALWAYS side with duke-hate when the issue pops up on this board. let's just keep it about BARNES since that's what you claim it's about.

is the best postseaon performance in Duke history then it's sorta proving his point, all due respect & what not.

I'm not really in this, in fact I'd skew more towards Duke than Bruins but surely there must be better than to take it back to Luol Deng being the best player in a first-round victory over the Miami Mail-in.

but, the expectations are so low for barnes, you niggas are buying this stupid shit. it's ridiculous. booz going home and barnes going home...round two.

i ain't have to take it back to deng...warren took it back...he said brand and laettner...ALL THAT...and niggas talkin some damn "ether" like it's true. oh, but i can't bring up how dominant deng was in 2007, same age barnes is now.

you know what i find fascinating. i can never get a definitive HOW GOOD WILL BARNES BE answer from muhfuckas who just HAVE to defend him, but they love to cyse it whenever he drops 15 or more.

and you plea copped, talking about shaq's fat and happy team...like that lessens what deng did.

stiff hips being guarded by midgets and gettin 20 points on 20 shots and it's party time.

damn, duke-hate is so fuckin powerful.

Boozer from further consideration...

plus Boozer's numbers in this post season are inflated due to all the injuries Chicago has...

but even still his performance hasn't been as solid in this posteason as Joakim who is playing hurt and still whoo ridin..\\

you low balling Harrison like someone who isn't watching the games....if you watching the games and seeing the defense and the big shots this kid is taking...even your bitter hatin ass would give the guy props...

since it would get that wrapped up with stuff we're actually watching rather than going back six years to a first-round series nobody remembers.

I ain't saying anything about Barnes, I'm just saying if 2007 Deng is in the top slot for all-time Duke playoff performances than that means for whatever reasons there hasn't been many good ones.

we expect what we've been getting...NOTHING.... postseason?? Nothing..

if anything people expect more from the Tar Heel alums because those guys have actually done something in the NBA playoffs.... Jordan...Worthy....Kenny Smith....lolol...

people expect Duke players to be over hyped and flop because that's what they been doing.... every now and then someone comes a long and does something...but it's a lot of injuries and dissapointments more than actual success related to Duke players..


in fact..

Who is Duke's all time player in the NBA..

well...the guy who probably is has a career that is more known for injury dissapointments then actually doing big shit in the NBA...

Why in the fukk would people expect more from Duke players when they don't have any players that are ranked among the top players of all time???

Why would people expect more from Duke playrs when there are no historic playoff narratives that invloves a Blue Devil making history in the postseason??

Not a one??


the shit is an overblown myth with nothing to back that myth up beyond some college basketball success..

and that's fine..

But this is May...not April...

it's Grown man time....

So Deng in 97 and Battier last year is the best yall got???

lololol...

nigga log off....


>duke-hate, man...i'm tellin y'all...you niggas don't even know
>you're doing it. it's that strong.

I'm kickin facts..

Your greatest player in Duke history is known more for his ankle and feet being fukked up and the fact he speaks well...

it's NBA BASKETBALL TIME...

y'all ain'g got shit..

that ain't Duke Hate...

That's the manifestation of reality....

no one cares about these filtered out ass criteria you keep throwing around.

you've had a cute lil run with russ, love and jrue, but y'all ain't too far removed from the days of the 90s drought, when y'all ain't produce shit worth mentioning between reggie in 87 and baron 99.

meanwhile, y'all won't be producing nothing worthwhile for a grip. do figure out what tyler lamb's bum ass doing.

196. "RE: we expect MORE from dukies"
In response to Reply # 178


  

          

dude.... wat

nah coolidge is right: duke pros face ZERO expectations.

i mean, for god's sake, shane battier was the national player of the year. won the naismith and the wooden. redick too. both those guys were lottery picks. and still, absolutely no one expected them to be stars. ppl thought they'd be at best what they actually turned out to be, which is very very very good role players. both those guys had perfectly fine careers. absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I still think redick will be a valuable contributor on a contender at some point. no one really talks abt them as "busts".

yet if barnes, who ain't won no fucking Naismith or anything, were to have a batty/jj type career, ppl would def call him a bust (you've said so multiple times yourself - that nigga don't get to just be solid, he gotta be a STAR, etc) and that's because NC dudes get held to a higher standard.

worthy, mcadoo, jordan, stack, sheed, vince

HOFers, champions, multiple time all stars, scoring titles, etc

dukies don't get held to that standard because, quite frankly, they've given no real reason to.

and i'm no duke hater at all btw, a lot of my faves are dukies (g hill, shane, luol, kyrie) and i almost went there.

low end crazy, eastside crazy, wild hunnids crazy, englewood crazy.

nigga, the names you just rattled off...all them 40 and 50 year-old muhfuckas are the REASON unc pros since 1998 haven't been correctly called BUSTS...tyler hanstravel is fucking garbage. he gets the pass of all passes. people still talkin that psycho T nickname shit like he GOOD! his nickname need to be BUM ASS TYLER.


>dukies don't get held to that standard because, quite frankly,
>they've given no real reason to.

boozer was a second round pick and has been a multiple all-star and he gets shit on by niggas on this board more than felton, hanstravel, ellington, barnes...and all these wack ass unc LOTTERY PICKS that get PASSES...so, please, PLEASE, stop with this fucking bullshit, dude.

198. "I'ma keep coming back to it....NO Duke player ever could hold McAdoo Srs..."
In response to Reply # 197


  

          

musty jock from the Buffalo Braves days..

none..

nobody that has worn a Duke uniform has been anywhere close the player he was.

and you could go down the line with that...


Y'all ain't had nobody..

so nobody has high expectations..

you claiming that there are these high expectations and thus Duke players are viewed fairly is complete bullshit....it's fantasy..and anyone who even knows a little about college and pro basketball knows that shit..

nobody expected Battier to be a star....nobody expected Boozer to be a star..hell didn't Boozer fall to the 2nd round of the draft after being projected a lottery pick the year before..

how you gonna expect shit from someone who falls that far off before their first nba game??

lol....he was a 2nd round pick..

Trajan Langdon isn't looked at as a bust as much as he's just demonstrative for so many other players who were hyped out of high school ....more hyped because they chose Duke....who really wasn't all that great a player...

Austin Rivers is 2012's Trajan Langdan...

only person with high expectations of those cats are Duke fans who know they have been able to stick they chest out about a Dookie doing shit in the NBA only last year with an often injured Kyrie....since fukkin Elton Brand and the clippers made the playoffs...lolol....

y'all players just don't have the goods for grown man basketball..... they just don't.

and Coach K been there for ever.. I mean he wasn't the coach when Jack Givens scorched Duke for 40 in the championship game.......but he got there shortly after that...

and you still can't name his top 5 players ever because you know ima clown they lack of NBA playoff grown man time accomplishments..

are pretty much daring Barnes to score. They put pg's on him consistently and he still needs to put up damn near 30 shots to have a good game. His footwork stinks. But I will say he's playin better defense.

and give 12-15 a night *shrug*
and that's assuming they don't get better draft position when the ping pongs bounce
and they don't need a nigga taking 20+ shots to get 25 pts anyway
they already got two niggas that do that BETTER
what they wouldn't have is any interior defense if they dumped ibeka
it's just a dumb reactionary argument really
but like i said niggas trying manufactures Ws

you've proven over the years to be a TERRIBLE talent evaluator, so the fact that you offered this up ain't even a big deal. the rest of your rant if fulla lies and stupidity tho.

take an L, dude. you cysed ibaka over harden. just move on to the next thing.

this season without Harden.

And like I said before, Harden wanted to leave, he wanted his own team and he got it.

y'all wrong.

and you in for the long haul with barnes. you can't scavenger a "win" for one season and then drift off as usual. he's your guy. all 9ppg and 4rpg of him. and it won't be more than 14 and 5 next year. he a "star" tho.

half of ibeka game is way better
half of harden game is way better
difference is ibeka shown signs of developing offensively
harden is a fucking full fledged DH
he a carmelo that get to the line more basically

barnes already better than MKG and rivers
theoretically ALL them niggas gon keep developing
barnes had the higher ceiling going in and he got the higher ceiling now
what's scaring yall niggas so much is barnes is showing signs like a muhfucker in this series
LAST thing yall need is barnes getting confidence

him going, as you say, M.I.A., wouldn't be as bad if Steph wasn't hobbled and taken out of his game ... Klay had a poor shooting series against Denver, but we lived with it becuase of the defense he brings.


I think people really underestimate the importance his defense brings to this team. That pretty jumper of his can be distracting i guess



Mark Jackson values Klay's defensive contributions as much, if not more, than what he can do offensively. Warrior teams from the era of the Steph and Monta Ellis backcourt remember us getting killed night in and night out by bigger guards... hell, smaller guards too

229. "Damn...dudes really this hype over Barnes posting up Parker for 5 games?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Or is this just some anti Bags shit?


I mean, Barnes has been playing pretty well. But anyone watching him and seeing a future star has some explaining to do.

I guess some of us just aren't that moved by a guy backing down someone a half foot shorter, hitting a few wide open jumpers and shooting 44% in the process. He'll be good, but wasn't he supposed to be GREAT? He's getting almost no attention from the Spurs defense and is shooting a high volume and scoring a bit. Pop has made it perfectly clear with his assignments he wants Barnes taking 20 shots a game...hmm wonder why.


Nothing about the way he is scoring/playing suggests the future star he was hyped to be, but I'm open to arguments otherwise. Maybe I'm missing something.

he's a role player and these dudes KNOW he's gonna be a role player and he's a low-risk/high reward anti-agenda agenda. it's wack as hell.

since 2010, my thing with barnes has been...

1. he not the best player from his high school class. it's kyrie. i said that when they was partying after he chose UNC.

2. he will NEVER be a "star"...meaning multiple all-star games, all-nba...none of the stuff he was predicted to be.

3. he not better than MKG

his lil 17ppg playoff BREAKOUT performance? it's cute...nothing more.

because you THOUGHT he was going to Duke and when he chose UNC you reversed field and have been trying to shit on the dude ever since, it's all pretty funny to me.

The dude has a NBA skillset and he's not a knucklehead so he's going to work hard and get BETTER. Deal with it.

because I think this kid could eventually be the Warrior's 2nd-3rd option going into the next few seasons


his progression from post-all star break til now has been rapid.. it's the kind of leap in such a short time a star in this league makes

i remember he made it up as far as 11 powerful ppg and this thread and others were UPPED CONSTANTLY...then he dipped. finished at 9 and 4. y'all been on getback since.

but yeah...stick with him. 2nd option is unlikely and 3rd option ain't a W.

he gotta be a SUPERSTAR.

Don't really care if Barnes contributes as the #1, #3, or #6 option, as long as he's contributing. That's what I love about this team: there's like 7-8 players I can look at and be like, "Damn, we wouldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for ____." That puts a smile on my face.

Which is why I never responded to any of the stuff you say about Barnes in this thread. I said it in some other post: you're issue with UNC players is well known, long-standing, and consistent, so I can't really have beef with it. But I'll support dude regardless as long as he's helping the team, in whatever form that may be.

I can't speak for Armritsar, because he's grown and can speak for himself. I'm just happy we got a whole boat-load of young building-blocks, some of whom will be stars, and some of whom will be role-players. I don't care which are which, as long as we're back in the play-offs and have a shot at being contenders.

kinda new to oks ... i see a post in early-mid season about one of my warriors, so i came in ready to defend


didn't realize there would be a whole host of idiots who would take this post and run with it, people who have probably been having these stpid arguments with you for years lol ... people who probably took the wrong side of an agenda against you in the past and are chomping at the bit



my participation in the post now is just for fun man. as i said to you earlier, the boards would probably be less entertaining without agenda posts.


And i don't really get a chance to talk much Warriors hoops on the boards so there's that as well

Most of us hated on him after his performance at UNC. FOH with your lies.

Point out ONE UNC cat saying Barnes was gonna be an NBA star 1-2 years ago...I'll wait...

partly because he hadnt found his role.

but i read somewhere (maybe IC) that mark jackson said barnes was out of shape and didnt understand scheme or none of that shit at first.

so imma give mark jackson a lot of credit for getting him on track. im glad to see him balling.

had the season...and more so the playoffs this kid has had...I would gladly microwave the crow and give the kid his props..

I don't give a fukk if he played for Duke or whomever..

I would do that because I know and respect the fukkin game of basketball and seeing a young player come into his own after being fronted on and called a bust...that's just great to see regardless of who he is or what team he plays for...

and the fact that you won't do that shows that your basketball acumen doesn't rise above bitchmade Duke homer-ism and non-sense agendas to hide the failure of dookies..


Harrison Barnes is a G..and it's great to see.

disqualify yourself from speaking on the issue..

It's funny that NO Carolina fan cares about Harrison, yet you stay in here stupid mad on some gay Dookie agenda shit to keep shitting on somebody who already has a better career than 95% of Dook's last 500 pros.

You keep shifting goal posts for your stupid gayass agendas that are always wrong...and you probably think you are in some anti-Dook battle with Carolina fans when the truth is you are in here getting flambeed by Warrior fans and Harrison on a nightly basis taking more L's.

Dook sucks Austin sucks Kyrie a scrubby ass gunner BE MAD

Truly remarkable the lengths you guys go with this shit. The most hyped 9 pts and 4 reb season ever.

9 and 4!! No wonder Bags goes so hard...you guys clearly have issues.


Oh btw, Austin Rivers final 16 games (25% of his season):

7 PPG - 2 APG - 2 RPG
FG % - 49.5%
3PT % - 42.3%

Now, we can talk rationally about Rivers turning the corner late in his season much as Barnes did. Or you can continue to kick and scream about 9 and 4 being the best rookie season of all time, ignoring what actually happened on the court.

Not sure I should engage with you, but I'll try.


You wanna hate on Rivers? Fine, he had a difficult season. But the last 1/4 of his season he clearly turned the corner. The stats show it, and those of us who actually watched him saw it.

Barnes played well while being guarded by Parker and dared to take tons of shots, congrats to him. I have no hate for the guy. But this post is a clusterfuck of emotional responses, very few of which are tied to the reality of what Barnes actually did this year.


I love how Barnes is given credit for playing on a playoff team SURROUNDED with talent, while Rivers is being shat on for playing on a super young, bad lotto team.

You understand why it was easier for Barnes to succeed than any other lotto pick right? And 9 and 4 in THAT situation is what we are throwing parties for?

Barnes, 16/6 as a rookie in the 'offs. Last player to do that? The Admiral. C'mon. Y'all realize this also includes the Nuggets series when he was playing the 4 right? I doubt y'all watched any games because it's more than the numbers show. "BUT BUT BUT 9/4 in dey season?!?!?" FOH.


This is not a proclamation that he will be HOF-level. This is merely a fact that Basa has been served an insurmountable L for saying he should be in the D-League. This was an egregious error, especially when his guy is MUCH closer to playing in the D-League. You seem pressed to inherit this L. For why? I guess because you feel the need to defend Austin. He's irrelevant and The Pelicans is a shitty team name.


Y'all keep moving goalposts, which is making this worse. Also...u mad.

Rational? Pumping 7/2/2 is not rational. As crazy as Warren might sound at least he's right on the following points:

A) UCLA players are hooping
B) Harrison hooped in the offs
C) Dook players have no expectations in the pros
D) Rivers sucks
E) You mad
F) Basa really mad


Stay mad my friends!!

this barnes shit needs to be contextualized. i made this thread because he sucked ass for nearly two months straight, highlighted by a ZERO point outing. these niggas was cysed when he had a few nice games to start his career and started coming at me like he was gonna be a STAR.

i've never wavered about the STAR stuff. that is the ISSUE. to try to flip a facetious subject line around as the ISSUE is bullshit. so, now it's like him not being a d-leaguer is a W and the futhur he progresses BEYOND d-league status is a W...so, he can stop 15 and 6 next year, which i predicted THIS YEAR and niggas gonna act like it's "GOOD"...it's SOLID...it's not star shit...it's SOLID.

he got be so much more than solid based on expectations and the shit that was talked BEFORE he got to the L. he was the next great player. he was AT LEAST the best player of his class. he's neither.

the best player of the 2010 HS class was predicted to be SOLID, MO WILLIAMS, ANDRE MILLER TYPE SOLID, by the same dumb fucks on this board coppin pleas for Stiff Hips not being a STAR.

so, as long as we keep shit in CONTEXT moving forward, i'm good.

In response to Reply # 328


  

          

Harrison Barnes made the right choice picking UNC over Duke because the guy has a future in the NBA ...and in recent times....with like 1 exception...Duke players ain't doing shit in the league....

when your greatest ever post season performance by a Duke player a journeyman role player like Battier knocking down some wide open 3s...when THAT is your greatest post season performance ever...you got major problems..

decent college program....flops, failures and minimal contributions when it comes to Grown Man Basketball time....

ain't nobody worried about Jarobi becasue he could end up like Rivers..or he could end up kyrie....it's 50/50...ain't shit for sure when it comes to duke players in the nba other than the likelyhood of dissapointment....

Shabazz will be a lottery pick...and Jordan Adams gonna be even better....hopefully he'll stay at UCLA though because his mother had a stroke last week and it's doing well....but if you watched any Jordan Adams last year...he's a good a pure scorer as there is in college and a top notch defender..

the bruins have a recent standard for NBA success....coach k been at duke like 30 years and y'all are still looking for some consistency on that next level...

so, all that shit you typed is moot.

Jordan Adams is a chubby undersized shooter. Who gives a fuck about him?

Barnes has damaged UNC's recruiting in recent years. That is a matter of record, as several GMs, scouts and analysts, including Ford and Telep, have said so. They have missed on several high profile recruits since landing Stiff Hips. That's his legacy.

DO you realize NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY who is a UNC fan thought much of Barnes coming out, and nobody cysed him during the season...


all the "emotional" shit in this post is due to Basa moving goal posts like a bitch and all Barnes haters like you scrambling to come up with excuses for why he played so well while Kyrie and your crush Austin were on the couch watching

All this shit about arbitrary rookie stats is pathetic. The nigga the first rookie to average 16 while looking and sounding like a young Sidney Poitier, too. Who cares?

The subject line was a direct response to a similar line about Rivers. Now it is somehow being used as a FUCKING BASELINE EXPECTATION for Barnes' career trajectory. Somehow me asking if a nigga who was hailed at the next KoMacGraMelo is gonna be an all-star is UNFAIR and moving goalposts.

I mad the thread because niggas shut about about this stiffed-hip Juwan Howard type handle nigga for about 6 weeks because he wasn't doing shit against actual NBA 3 men. So he hit a few Js over guards. CONGRATS!

But didn't u originally say that dude was a scrub? That he was D-League material?

At this point, if dude averages 14-16 points the rest of his career off the bench that is far from scrub material...And if he continues to show and prove in the playoffs (he seems to get busy in the 'offs in terms...that's what impresses me the most about him...He knows he strengths and get on with it...) that will be more ether in whatever agenda war u got brewing...

I think u aimed too high...Instead of claiming dude was a scrub you should have said he would never been an All-Star and leave it at that...

Because the player I'm watching is not D-League material...At all...In fact, he's pretty good...

NO. just no.

ESPECIALLY from YOU, when I have seen you SEVERAL times support the idea that severeal Duke players have been disappointments in relation to their pre-NBA hype.

nah...he gotta be a STAR. and he damn sure SHOULDN'T be coming off the bench.

dudes IN THIS THREAD were going in on Klay, saying that Barnes was better, and now he he on the bench?

Nah...star.

Let's roll it back here...My Duke commentary has always been limited to the MAMMOTH hype their players get while in college...For as good as Barnes was at UNC he was rarely deemed as the BEST player in college...He didn't win college player of the year...In fact, he was not even a top 5 pick...He was not even a no. 1 pick...

The reason I criticized SOME Duke players is because usually these players were usually deemed as the best in college...From Christian to Bat-Man...

I think the kid is doing what he's supposed to do given the team he's on.....He's not playing for Toronto where he can get 25 shots a game...


>nah...he gotta be a STAR. and he damn sure SHOULDN'T be coming
>off the bench.


Nah...If he continues to produce double figures off the bench AND do work in the playoffs he will be fine...
>dudes IN THIS THREAD were going in on Klay, saying that Barnes
>was better, and now he he on the bench?
>
>Nah...star.

The Klay thing? Not part of that...It's obvious that people were wrong...But that doesn't mean u r not wrong about Barnes...


Star is relative isn't it? What if dude becomes a sixth man award winning killer who does work on the bench? What if Barnes contributes to a team that gets over the hump and makes that WC Finals?

He may not be a franchise player...But he can certainly be a star beyond being some role player who just camps out shooting 3's and flops...

Like I said, he's not D-League worthy...And he is certainly contributing something to that already stacked GS team...

He's good...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

364. "Barnes was the first freshman to ever be preseason all-american"
In response to Reply # 353


  

          

you can't say Barnes didn't have massive hype. They literally named him one of the best college basketball players in america before he had played a single college game. he was the first player that ever happened to. you literally can't GET more hype than that.

Did he win College Player of The Year? Was he a top 3 pick? Hell, a top 6 draft pick?

That to me is where I'm getting at...That's the only hype that matters, right?

In response to Reply # 366


  

          

meanwhile, christian laettner wasn't hyped AT ALL coming outta high school and wasn't predicted to be a HOF NBA player either. but, SOMEHOW, murph has convinced himself that laettner was a "disappointment"

yeah, i'm frying barnes. he better be a star.

In high school, if your name ain't Bron, Moses, or KG?



Yeah...I am...

Because I know how much hype can surround heralded high school players/Micky D. All-Americans, ect...

Hell, coming up in the Midwest I've seen that story A LOT (Marcus Liberty, man...)

Barnes was a great high school player who turned out to be a damn "good" college player...If he was "great" he would have been a top 3-5 pick...

So yeah...I pay little attention to what someone does in high school unless they are a once in a lifetime talent that can step out on the NBA their first year...Beyond that, show and prove in college and make that Pro jump...

Because in high school a lot of players play blue chip, can't-miss beastly like ball...

391. "In your opinion, would that same standard be applied to Jabari Parker?"
In response to Reply # 381


  

          

seeing as how Parker goes to Duke, if he turned out to not be the beast that he was touted as in high school, and went on to be the 7th pick after his soph year and became a role player - would OKS let that slide, or would Duke/Duke fans get roasted?

Nah...But I am one of the main dudes that stuck up for Grant Hill on this site...My biggest squabbles with you have been Rose/Boozer related...Other than that, there's not much we disagree on...Basically, u gotta turn this one down Basa...

No matter how u try to frame my past criticism of Boozer, I'm not a Dukie hater...At all...If you talked to young Murph back in the early to mid '90s then u would be on to something...But I'm so far removed from regular season college ball that its not even funny...Maybe things would be different if Depaul or Illinois was better...But that's another post...

What I am is a dude that looks at facts...

Fact: Grant Hill should go down as one of the greatest all around NBA talents of all time if not for that injury bug...And he should be in the BB Hall of Fame regardless because of his college/international/NBA career...

Fact: I've warmed up to Deng, 4-5 years ago...I have not warmed up to Boozer yet, but I know that man is far from a scrub...In fact he's a good player...May issue with dude has always been with dude in the big spots for the Bulls...That's all...

Fact: All world Duke big men beyond Brand/Boozer have fit into two categories lackluster (Christian L.) or just plain busts (too many to name...)

Fact: Kyrie is indeed worth the hype and will be a top 4 PG in the league THISSOON...

Fact: I don't get into the Duke/UNC battles...Beyond being a MJ fan, that's as far as I went...

Fact: Barnes, a no. 7 pick who was a good player in college is doing exactly what he's supposed to do on a team stacked with talent...

>you could have at least said top 3 and kept some integrity.


I think u guys are not understanding me...Whatever college-fueled flag waving u got going on, I'm not a part of that...

I sincerely am looking at what the kid did in college, numbers/impact wise from a non-partial view, not how great he was in high school...That's it...He played well at UNC...But no one ever thought Barnes was the best player in college...But he was good...A NBA, top 10 caliber player...

So when I hear people say he has been disappointing at Golden State that gives me pause as an NBA fan...

If Barnes put up 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists for a bad team, would he still be disappointing?

That's what I'm getting at...The kid is doing what's needed of him for his team...A team that's already stacked offensively...

So he putting up the occasional 16 points off the bench is not at all surprising given the role he is being asked to knock out...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

exacept he WAS...TWICE...the first year he was named player of the year in preseason by several major outlets. then, most of those people doubled down when he came back for his soph year, figuring he was close to putting it all together after getting adjusted.

He didn't win college

somehow you see him not winning an award he was predicted to win TWICE as a good thing.

In fact, he was not even a top 5

we now he's not d-league worthy. he's also not the NBA's next great player, as he was hyped to be in fall 2010. he's fallen woefully short of that.

he's solid.

>indifferent about duke and its players.

This is what I've said about Duke...Their star players during the Christian L., crushing the NCAA era were busts or disappointing...Except Grant/Brand...(I take Bobby H. and Jay Wills off of that "suck" list given their freak injuries...I never clowned those dudes other than thinking they were cornballs...because on the court they were the truth...)...And I've pointed out that other big programs have had better overall Pros...

That's it...

I never shit on Boozer because he was from Duke...I never shit on Deng (those years during the Ben-era and Rose's first two-three years)because he was from Duke...Ect...

So what u have left is a dude that thinks Christian L. sucked and some of the other Dukie bigs sucked...That's it...

Your problem is you want to create some reason why I'm so hard on Boozer...But there's no reason other than when we needed him in the big spots he was usually sitting on the bench...

I don't know homie...I just can't say that a player that wasn't even Player of The Year or a top 3 pick or a champion proved to be a GREAT college talent...I know that Barnes was fucking good though...I know that he was a def. top 10 draft pick because he had skills...

I understand how highly touted he was coming out of high school and the hype that followed that first year when people thought he would be even better (I wasn't following him that much, but I would read some articles here and there on Sports Illustrated about preseason rankings...)


>He didn't win college

If predictions was like a fifth, you know the rest...

>

Shane and Boozer both had better college careers than Barnes...And Shane ironically was drafted higher than Barnes (by one notch, but still)...And Booser out performed any expectation of him in the pros...I agree with that...

>>these players were usually deemed as the best in

>
>christian wasn't the #1 pick, now was he? shane wasn't even

What have I said?...A top 3-5 pick is usually expected more from...Christian was top 3...Dream Team...All White Boy...Golden Child...Michigan Killer...

And again, Shane was higher by one notch than Barnes in the draft...And given his play in college, sure people expected much more from Bat-Dog...Both Christian and Shane actually won championships...They LED their teams to victories...

Barnes biggest claim to fame in college was being First-team All-ACC...That's it...Now that's damn good...But I don't know if that's as big as leading a team to a Chip r putting up obscene numbers day in and day out...

I look at what players actually did in school...As good as Barnes was in college he his high point was leading a team to the elite eighth...No shame in that...But we not talking about an all-world talent in college...

Thus he was drafted accordingly...Maybe if he ended up on a horrible NBA team he would have gotten more playing time as a pro maybe he would put up those numbers u want...Who knows?

All I know is Barnes was getting busy in the playoffs when it mattered...

I think it's going to get really interesting when he starts to get more playing time or is traded...

nigga, GET ALL THE WAY FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!

if YOU don't fuckin follow recruiting and don't know how hyped niggas are, thus allowing you to contextualize what a massive letdown Barnes' development has been...then, murph, with all due respect...please just shut the fuck up.

if you don't understand that he FELL, within 18 months, from the CONSENSUS #1 pick to the 7th pick...SHUT UP, NIGGA!

and every draft isn't the same. battier went 6 in one of the WORST drafts in history, so that says how much success he was predicted to have in the L.

whatever battier EARNED in college on teams with better players, in terms of NBA prospects (booz, j-will, corey, elton) than him, those accolades have NOTHING to do with how he was projected to perform in the NBA.

every year you get players who haven't accomplished shit in college getting taken over upperclass all-americans and NPOY...you'll see it this year when doug mcdermott gets taken after some young dumb niggas that don't even drop 15 a night. your argument holds no fuckin weight, logically. there are contradictions all over the place.

U not following me Basa...I indeed understand how hyped recruiting is...But I made a very important point previously...Being the best dude in high school unless u r some once in a generation player means little...Because I've seen so many heralded high school players get recruited and show themselves to be shaky at best...

U have to remember where I'm from, Basa...Chicago...We have so many blue chip recruits coming out every year its not even funny...And I do follow those kids at Simeon and in the suburbs...But when you've seen HYPED players like Marcus Liberty become busts in college, then yeah, u begin to have a different perspective about things...





>if you don't understand that he FELL, within 18 months, from
>the CONSENSUS #1 pick to the 7th pick...SHUT UP, NIGGA!

I do...I just care more about showing and proving than hype...


>and every draft isn't the same. battier went 6 in one of the
>WORST drafts in history, so that says how much success he was
>predicted to have in the L.

My point on bringing up Battier was to say that he was among the best college players during his run at Duke...He was a player that actually led his team to a championship...No matter how weak a draft that was, that has to count for something right?


>whatever battier EARNED in college on teams with better
>players, in terms of NBA prospects (booz, j-will, corey,
>elton) than him, those accolades have NOTHING to do with how
>he was projected to perform in the NBA.

Don't jump the gun...Do I believe Battier's career did not measure up to his college run? Yes...Do I believe that Battier was a bust? Nope...He has had a good career considering everything...Got a ring...Became a dependable good role player...The NBA is a hard business to really succeed in...Battier's long career proves that he managed to find his role and work it out..


>every year you get players who haven't accomplished shit in
>college getting taken over upperclass all-americans and
>NPOY...you'll see it this year when doug mcdermott gets taken
>after some young dumb niggas that don't even drop 15 a night.
>your argument holds no fuckin weight, logically. there are

I don't have an argument except that Harrison Barnes was a good college player...Nothing more, nothing less...

He was never deemed a bust in college, was he? Did he disappoint a lot of people the way he played in college? Wasn't he All ACC First Team? That's a damn good player, right?

But I'm sure people looked at the fact that such a heralded player coming out of high school could not get pass the elite eighth and did not measure to some of that early hype that stayed with him after his freshman year...

So I guess what I'm saying (and been saying) is when it comes down to Barnes is you have to look at who drafted him...

I will ask u again...Would you say Barnes wasn't a star if he got drafted to a bad team and put up BIG numbers, something we have seen a lot over the years from players? Would it matter to you that dude was putting up 20, 6, 4 in Toronto? Would u still be writing post about him not being a star or being D-League worthy?

That's the question....

397. "murph...i'm not denying barnes had a "good" college career"
In response to Reply # 395


  

          

so, i'm not disagreeing with your primary point. my primary point is that if a nigga as hyped as barnes had gone to duke and had the exact same career and then went on to be dropping 9 and 4 in the L...oh, hell naw...niggas would be absolutely frying me, longo, dred, rahim...every duke fan on here with something to say. and you'd be one of them. you'd be less vitriolic than most would, but you'd wonder why he ain't pan out the way he was projected.

my point is that I'd wait before partying on Barnes

I mean this post was made 2 months into his rookie year

if Ba doesn't think he's improved his game after last year's playoffs

and what he looks like this year

= he's not watching games

12 and 5 year 2 is an L?

Austin Rivers will be lucky to get enough minutes to do that in 1 game

But that's just the point...The kid is getting in where he fits in...I think we get too bogged down on hype...With the Splash Brothers there/David Lee doing his thing and now Iggy in the mix there's only so many balls to go around...

I'm impressed that the kid can even drop 16 points with that many offensive options around...

I think he will be alright...Far from a bust like other players that get hyped on this site....He's where he's supposed to be on THIS team...

In response to Reply # 357


  

          


>Better outside shooter than MKG? Sure.
Much better, from 3 and from mid-range. Huge advantage here.

>Better inside shooter than MKG? Nope.
Not sold that MKG is better here. Barnes has a much better post game than MKG and is a good finisher. MKG might finish with more authority but I think all around Barnes is better from close.

>Better driver than MKG? Nope.
Negligible here, MKG has more freedom to attack because he's on a shit team.
>
>Better ballhandler than MKG? Nope.
I think it's hard to differentiate in this department as well.
>
>Better passer than MKG? Nope.
Neither guy really gets many assists, both are willing to pass but neither really creates much for teammates.
>
>Better rebounder than MKG? Nope.
MKG is much better in this department.

>Better defender than MKG? Nope.
MKG is better but not by much, Barnes has made huge strides and almost completely closed the gap.

Barnes is on a better team which hasn't really allowed him to fully expand his game. MKG is a role player on a team that is too bad to take advantage him, Barnes has a more wide range of talent but has been forced into a limited role because of the talent around him. I liked MKG more going into the draft but I think Barnes has shown more thus far.

He's a no. 7 pick that happens to be on a stacked team...If you don't think dude could average a meaningless 18-21 points a game on a bad team, that's on u...

Again, I only go by the hype of the draft...And Barnes was not deemed to be the best player of the draft...In fact, there were questions about him...

He's a no. 7 pick that is on the same team of a scoring PG, a SF that can shoot from Japan, a PF that has been a double double dude and SG/SF that needs the ball in his hands to be impactful on O, but also needs to be on the floor for defense...

So where does that leave Barnes? Off the bench getting buckets (if he continues to grow as a player, which he has...)

I can see the kid getting some 6th Man award in the near future...Or I can see him going to a bad team and dropping 20 a game...

Either way, he won't be a bust or a disappointment...At all...

Only in Agendaland...

You can pretend his basketball just started on draft night and expectations only began from that night, but it's not so.

If Andrew Wiggins doesn't enter the draft. Then goes 7th the following year and becomes a bench/role player that would mean he's performing below expectations.

It happens.

I don't have to pretend on anything...I'm just reading through old pieces on the kid at the time of the draft...The kid was deemed a good player...But hardly a can't miss, all-world prospect...

As for the role player thing, as I said before, that's a trap door...

When I think of role players I think of John Salley, Steve Kerr...Specialists...

Players that get by on one singular talent...

If u r coming off the bench dropping 14-15-16 points in a game or in a playoff situation, that goes beyond being a mere role player...U r now an important part of the team being being a specialist...The bench player responsible for points off the bench on some Microwave, JR Smith shit...

In other words, I would slow down with calling dude a disappointment...

which is why he brought up Wiggins.

coming into UNC, Barnes was hyped as the next great player. as I mentioned above, he was the first player EVER to be *preseason* all american as a *freshman* - meaning they voted him as one of the best college players in the country before he had played a college game.

He didn't do well enough as a freshman, stayed a second year instead of being one and done, and then went 7th as a soph.

Since this post also has UNC-Duke hate at its core, replace Wiggins with Jabari Parker. Look at the hype on Parker, and imagine he has to stay a second year, and then winds up going 7th instead of top 3, and then becomes a role player in the NBA.

this board would never let basa/longo hear the end of it.

I hear u Sam...But I go by actual output in terms of hype...I've seen loads of high school players dominate...And yes, I'm aware that Barnes was hyped...COMING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL...It doesn't matter what J. Parker or Wiggins does in high school...It's what they do in college that matters...And if they truly dominate like people think they will, then that true hype is warranted...

All that really matters is what did Barnes do in college? And what he did was be a damn "good" player...But was he the best? Was he a top 5 pick? That's what really matters...No...

By the time dude was drafted there was enough tape on Barnes against blue chip talent to judge him accordingly...

So what u r left with is a good college player from a great college B-Ball institution....

Barnes was drafted at 7 for a reason...And that's a pretty good position...Top 10...Real money...But hardly BEAST OR BUST scenario...

two best fuckin players of the last 25 years came STRAIGHT from HS. most of the lottery picks today are one and dones SCOUTING since they were 14 and 15 by NBA GMs. but, high school isn't a good indicator, huh?

EXCEEDED his expectations in the NBA would be a duke fan who is bitter because of their history of below average-to-mediocre small forwards who have barely made a dent in the NBA like Corey Mageette and Shane Battier...

Barnes is doing exactly what he needs to do on the team he's on...there is neither the opportunity or the necessity for him to score more on that team...

He's been better than expected.

Barnes is doing better than was expected of him???

He was the high school player of the year, the first ever freshman preseason all american, and was the seventh overall pick in the draft - more based off his hype and "upside" than his actual production at UNC

If Barnes is doing better than expected, then someone should start clearing space for the statue of Luol Deng outside the United Center

I think people are saying he's doing better than expected mainly because of the team that he is on...

Let's put it this way...If Barnes was on the Milwaukee Bucks and showed himself to be merely a decent player, then you would be on to something...

But Barnes happens to be on a team with some pretty HEAVY offensive players....He's not the 2nd or 3rd or 4th option...The players that are in the starting lineup have either been all-stars or have all-star talent...So he comes off the bench...

I agree that people go over the top with the agendas and go hard after Basa...But when you start off with the line that a player is a scrub that is D League worthy (yeah, I know it was some shit talk...but yeah...) people will latch on to that and throw ether accordingly...

Bottom line: this Barnes kid is on a STACKED team and is putting up double figures in points...

The question u have to ask yourself is this: If he was on a horrible squad and given 30 mins plus a game, could he drop 20 plus points a game, snatch down around 6-8 boards a game and get a few assists?

I believe he could given what I've seen from the kid in the regular season and in the playoffs...

In response to Reply # 374


  

          

Obviously, I'm coming at this from the perspective as a lifelong Warriors fan. I honestly don't care about the UNC vs. Duke vs. UCLA dynamic of this whole thing. But in no way am I disappointed with Barnes performance. He's been doing what we've need him to do this season. Just like last season. We wouldn't have made it to the second round of the play-offs without his performance. We wouldn't have won some of these games this season without his performance.

>He was the high school player of the year, the first ever
>freshman preseason all american, and was the seventh overall
>pick in the draft - more based off his hype and "upside" than
>his actual production at UNC

And yet there wasn't a single player selected after him that I can look at and say, "Well, we should have drafted THAT guy instead of Barnes." He's certainly playing better than everyone selected after him, and better than at least one player selected before him. That's also not under-performing.

396. "um....his college career was a dissapointment based on the"
In response to Reply # 374


  

          

hype of being the national player of the year in high school...

based on his college performance....which anyone who is actually trying to look at this honestly would place more importance on his COLLEGE career than his high school career.....but based on his time at UNC.... Harrison was looked at as a potential bust...

he's showing he's far from a bust...and playing BETTER than most expected considering his mediocre college career

Better than expected? Man you expect a No. 7 pick to either be a star or fill a role PERFECTLY. He is, in the parlance of our times, just a guy

399. "This agenda is hilarious for 2 reasons:"
In response to Reply # 0


          

1.) As predicted, dudes are trying to change it up and switch up how we're measuring dude. But the groundwork for this agenda was about 4 years in the making. It's not some whimsical shit that just happened,

2.) The funniest part about it to me is that even though he's going to have good games or even great ones sprinkled in here and there, it's always gonna come back to 11 & 5 at most.

In response to Reply # 402


  

          

you're just admitting that you can't talk about players after '95 because they in the league while Dukies making cream puffs....

you can't even talk shit about the Lavin era because we got some still playing, and others just retiring whose careers sonned mcbobby and William avery....lolol...

Matt Barnes....Ryan Hollins...Earl Watson....Baron Davis....

but like I said...we got 5 or 6 NBA players on our roster right today....

meanwhile Austin Rivers and Jay Williams are the co-grand marshalls of the bust parade....

yet the numbers you set as the bar for him are pretty much what Luol Deng is getting.....


Harrison Barnes playoff performance last year gave you a permanent L on this subject...

meanwhile Austin Rivers averaging 8 minutes per game and 3 points per game..

http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/65687/harrison-barnes-new-brand-bust

Harrison Barnes' new brand: Bust?

In a moment, Harrison Barnes reminded fans that the hype isnt wholly empty. On Thursday night against the Clippers, he raced behind a weaving Jordan Crawford, received the pass, then soared past Willie Green for a powerful and-1 dunk. If the crowd's crazed reaction for a merely cool second-quarter jam was a little over the top, it may be attributable to a certain nervous energy regarding the Barnes situation. Hes been adrift on this roster this season, and the murmurs of doubt and disappointment have been growing louder.

As Anthony Bennett hogs the national draft bust? spotlight, its easy to forget that there are other young players under local scrutiny. In an ideal world, we wouldn't hold these young men to expectations they didn't set, but that change isn't happening anytime soon.

In Barnes case, the expectations dont stem just from being the No. 7 pick. Theres more to the anxiety of Is this it? than his lottery status. First, Barnes didnt storm the scene just last season as Bennett did en route to becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 draft. Barnes is coming off his rookie season, but the former No. 1-ranked recruit has been underwhelming nervous fans for years now.

Barnes played for a high-profile North Carolina program and was featured before a March Madness TV audience that dwarfs that of Warriors games. His freshman year at Chapel Hill was underwhelming, albeit mildly so. Barnes scored, but didn't do it that efficiently, and did little else. He still probably would have been a top-three pick if he had opted for the draft then, but he elected to stay a year, which worked out badly for his draft stock, if not his brand. Sophomore Barnes played like freshman Barnes. His "NBA body" continued to move as though animated by what draftniks might call a "low motor." His handle remained stilted, his shot remained average, and his disappearances from the teams offensive attack remained frequent.

As Barnes drifted through his final college season, the Warriors set about a deliberate course. They tanked mightily in pursuit of a top-seven protected pick. The process was excruciating for just about anyone who followed the team closely out of either obligation or habit. It made a grim mockery of Mark Jacksons first season as head coach as he strove to prove himself with suited stars and a massive organizational incentive to lose, lose, lose.

Barnes was the prize, the guy who would vindicate the intentional indignity of 2012. And in the 2013 playoffs, after Warriors fortunes had dramatically reversed for the better, Barnes appeared to do just that. His rookie season was uneven, but Barnes got something of a spotlight during Golden States first-round upset of the Denver Nuggets. David Lee went down with a hip injury, and Barnes, who had seen almost no time at power forward to that point, was called upon to be the replacement.

Barnes thrived with more space on the court, using his long strides to sail toward the rim. Denver frequently left him open beyond the arc, allowing Barnes to shoot 40.6 percent from deep in the series.

The following Spurs series didn't help Harrisons efficiency, but it did bolster his national cachet. Tony Parker "hid" on Barnes defensively, which goaded the Warriors into bogging their offense down into repeated post-ups with their rookie. The result was plenty of points for Barnes (an average of 17.3 over the six-game series), but at a below-average 51.4 percent true shooting mark. Since raw point totals still command a lot of respect, many filed Barnes series as a breakout performance.

The Warriors themselves were reputed to be highly optimistic about Barnes during last summers training camp, even if they did bring Andre Iguodala in to take his starting spot. Rumors about Barnes' killer training camp set off yet another drum roll in a career comprised of so many anticipatory drum rolls.

Barnes began this season with a foot ailment, and hes been, to put it bluntly, quite bad so far. It's not often that youll see a player with a 9.95 PER get so many opportunities. Jackson continues to post Barnes up as though his high-flying wing is Al Jefferson waiting to happen. The results have been miserable, mostly because Barnes claims neither the shooting ability nor passing vision to capitalize on frequent post-ups. Its not all Jacksons fault, though. Barnes dribbles with the stultifying caution of someone who fears the ball might set off land mines. He also holds on to it with the slow, deliberate focus of someone consulting a Magic 8 ball. To summarize, hes a ball-stopper, but without the gaudy individual offense that many ball-stoppers can conjure up in isolation.

Though blessed with the body of an elite perimeter defender, Barnes has shown none of the instincts this season. While its understandable that a younger player might struggle on defense, Barnes flaws on that end are highlighted by the dogged defensive efforts of less-touted second-year man Draymond Green.

Draft disappointments dont just let fans down on their lonesome, as disappointment needs a comparison to some better, imagined outcome. Sam Bowie wouldn't be Sam Bowie without Michael Jordan. Perhaps the most agonizing aspect of draft pick disappointment is the emerging picture of the alternatives. As the draft pick hindsight gets more clear, less blurry, it shows Andre Drummond dunking off a high screen lob from Stephen Curry. It shows John Henson blocking a shot simultaneous with Andrew Bogut. It shows Terrence Ross claiming membership as a Splash Brother with a 51-point opus. It shows Terrence Jones as an even better stretch 4 than Barnes in the Denver series. It shows Jeremy Lamb as what Kent Bazemore was supposed to be defensively. Depending on the day, it might even show the better side of Jared Sullinger, Kendall Marshall and Tony Wroten.

Barnes still has time and still has plausible excuses (remember the early-season injury?). Mark Jackson repeatedly extols his work ethic. Nobody on the team has criticized Barnes for a lack of desire or effort. If youre hopeful about Harrison, youll have to lean on the subjective because the statistical profile is looking bleak. If youre looking for optimism, youll have to consider what Curry said about Barnes after the victory over the Clippers: Hes still young. Hes still trying to, you know, find his way. New role this year, obviously, coming off the bench. Hes going to get it. We still have confidence in him, we keep staying in his ear; he has confidence in himself, and obviously hes shown that he can make a huge impact.

Right, they should have drafted shooting guard Terrance Ross instead because of one game. Right, they should have drafted shooting guard Jeremy Lamb instead when they already had Klay. Right, the should have drafted Kendall Marshall instead even though they had Curry. This guy is a clown.

Right now, Barnes is still the sixth best player in that draft. Drummond is better than him, but hey, they weren't drafting another center. This is short-bus writing.

422. "This is why ANY bust writing in a young player's first 3 years is dumb."
In response to Reply # 420


  

          

I would have said the only time to really call a young player a bust is if a lotto player is waived after one season... but then Marshall went to a new team and looks like at worst a starter on a terrible team.

So much can happen in these early years to all these players. They all need time to figure it out-- the ones that do early are the exception, but people act like they're the rule. Damian Lillard was and is EXCEEDING expectations for a young point guard. Andre Drummond, for a raw center, is EXCEEDING expectations.

I would say, while Barnes' expectations coming out of HS were the highest of anyone in that draft (including Davis), he can't be faulted for struggling in Year 2 on a crowded roster with plenty of other shooters. And labeling him a bust midway through season 2 is preposterous.

If they want to compare his work to other second-year players, fine. But consider the situations. John Henson is in a much better position for productivity right now. So is Sully. So is Kendall. (They're all on bad teams, for one.) You can't just compare the productivity and label bust or success mid-year-2 as a result.

Miles Plumlee was on a stacked Pacers roster. Then he was traded to the Suns who needed a player of his skill set to start, and now he's thriving.

I can't believe I just spent time responding NEGATIVELY to a "Harrison Barnes: bust?" article, but there you go, lol.

how iggy is only mentioned once in that entire diatribe is beyond me. barnes went from starting to coming off the bench and sharing time with green. when iggy was hurt and barnes was starting he was back to his old self. mark jackson running dumb ass iso post ups doesnt help his game either.
