Barnes and Marshall

Barnes and Marshall

For the past few games, Tarheel rookies Harrison Barnes and Kendall Marshall have been forming a two-man running game. Last night's game, Marshall had a personal best of 16 assists and 7 were passed to Barnes who scored 17 points to lift UNC over Florida State University (FSU) 89-69.

Barnes and Marshall are also good pals off the court, being as fellow rookies.

Harrison Barnes scored 14 of his 16 points on the second half to lift the Tarheels past the Wolfpack.
 
From what I've seen Barnes is too reliant on his 3 pt shooting right now. I don't know if he doesn't have confidence taking the ball to the basket or what's going on but when I had watched him in high school (only 2 games though) I was impressed with his all around skillset which has not been consistently on display at UNC.

I have read claims on the Tarheels message boards that Barnes has had trouble adjusting to the level of play of the College Game on his first games and Barnes has trouble against more capable defenders, compared to the highschool competition.

I think Barnes should stay with the Tarheels for a year or two for more polishing.

Harrison Barnes erupted for 40 points as the Tarheels beat Clemson 92-87. Barnes matched the record of Randolph Childress, for most points scored by a freshman, as Childress scored 40 points back in 1995.
 
isportsweb reports that Harrison Barnes will not be entering the NBA draft and instead come back for his sophomore year due to Barnes recently enrolling on a number of summer classes.

Barnes is expected to announce formally no later than Thursday.
 
I understand that winning is important, and with Henson, Zeller and Marshall returning the door will be open for them.

But from an individual standpoint, Harrison WOULD go top 5. If you want a pure perimeter player, he's your best bet by a fairly wide margin, with Alec Burks just behind him. But would Burks go for a top 3-4 pick? I can't see it.

Tough to leave millions on the table, but with a lockout looming that might be irrelevant...
 
Barnes alongside teammate Kendall Marshall has completed the Summer Training Camp which was directly supervised by New Orleans Hornets Star Chris Paul.

Barnes and Marshall worked on their dribbling, passing and overall lateral movement during their weeklong participation on Paul's camp.

Maybe he's taking longer than usual to transition into college ball? That's the only reason I could come up with.

No worries, NorCal wrote that message last season. Back then, Barnes had the rookie jitters in adjusting to the level of play in the NCAA. Barnes has progressed as expected into the college level and after this season, Barnes will be looking to take his game into the professional level of play.
