Harrison Barnes

[NorCal]

You mean NCAA players that are will be eventually NBA talents?

Here's mine:

1. Harrison Barnes (UNC)
2. Perry Jones (Baylor)
3. Kyrie Irving (Duke)
4. Jared Sullinger (Ohio State)
5. Brandon Knight (Kentucky)
6. Alec Burks (Colorado)
7. Kyle Singler (Duke)
8. Fab Melo (Syracuse)
9. Malcolm Delaney (Virginia Tech)
10. Trey Thompkins (Georgia)

But recently, the projected NBA Draft Class for 2011 are a bit shallow compared to this year's.

My top 10:

1) Harrison Barnes
2) Kyrie Irving
3) Terrence Jones
4) Josh Selby
5) Jared Sullinger
6) Perry Jones
7) John Henson
8) Patric Young
9) C.J. Leslie
10) Jordan Hamilton

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.

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.

I believe that the possibility of a lockout in the NBA next season also might have affected his decision to withdraw his name from the draft...

[CKR13]

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...
