In the 2012 NBA Draft, I fancy Barnes being drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers or Charlotte Bobcats.
For the Cavaliers, Barnes will be paired with star Kyrie Irving and that will ramp the Cavs into an Oklahoma City Thunder like potential in the eastern conference. For the struggling Charlotte Bobcats, Barnes would be a hot commodity if drafted. This is similar to the 2004 NBA draft where the Bobcats selected UNC Tarheels standouts Raymond Felton and Sean May.
Barnes will be generating more local support that translates to ticket sales.
