Following potential 2012 draftees

Could one of the Barnes lovers explain in detail why you see him as top 3 worthy? I'm not saying he isn't, I'm just admitting that maybe there's something I'm not seeing in him and I'm perfectly open to the idea that he might be a better prospect than MKG. For once I would like to see an in depth argument that goes beyond "Barnes can shoot and MKG has a funny looking shot, therefore Barnes is better."

Convince me.

That is as far as my argument goes. Also, have you seen MKG walk/jog? He does this weird thing where he holds his hands out in front of himself like a T-Rex. It looks goofy as hell.

Cyrone should not have to explain himself again .. so I'll paraphrase.

Barnes is better.

Lol, I', sure whoever made these videos has no bias at all. They show Barnes missed shots, but none of the shots MKG missed? But they made sure to show a shot MKG made that didn't count? Great video by this guy.

I remember Barnes being on fire this game but getting in early foul trouble. He had an off night after that. Rupp is a hard place to play. UNC would have dominated the game if it was at their building.

Do I really have to repeat myself? Yes, he has potential to be Scottie Pippen type of player. I do not believe he has top 50 greatest of all time potential though. And by Scottie Pippen type of player I mean he could win a Championship with Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman.

My point was Pippen was 50 greatest of all time not that mkg was going to be.

LOL. Whatever.
 
Cyrone Torbin said:
Yeah, sorry for my ridiculous statement that home court advantage would have at least a 2 point swing on the outcome of a game. HOW RIDICULOUS!

In fairness to Hantlers, you did say UNC would have dominated. Had you simply said 'won' I'm sure there would be no response. Not that it's a biggie anyway. Just big talk by all us fans.

You're probably right. I'm sure whoever did the stat sheet had a bias as well.

Yeah, I saw MKG had 4 missed shots to Barnes 7. I also saw the video showed at least 4 of Barnes misses (Didn't count to be honest, but it was 4-6ish range). I also saw they showed 0 of MKG misses, which were probably an assortment of wide open bricks.

One of his shots was a bank shot that was clearly not on purpose for crying out loud.
 
If the video maker was interested in a balanced showing of both player's games, he would have included at least 2 of MKG's misses.

Watching those videos was as entertaining as a Fox News report minus the hot babes they have doing their "news".

Lol I'm just poking fun, dude. The vids were clearly made by a UK fan. Nevertheless, MKG is still God.

I put up with people like AKMVP and their ridiculous posts, but comparing my posts to a Fox News report? Well, I'll let a wise poet express my feelings for me...

Comparing the video. Did you make the video?
 
Mocks seem to have Quincy Miller going around 10 now, so even if we don't get a top 5 pick we should still be able to get our SF of the future in Miller. And a player with his upside as low as 10th in the draft would be insane.
