I don't know how I am the only one who see's that Barnes is the perfect fit for the Raptors. Demar can't shoot. Barnes can stretch the floor.

Barnes def won't be available past 6 tho....Moe Harkless would be a good fit and they can really trade down to get him

Tried to look up where Orlando Johnson was gonna go to see if my Mavs could get him, maybe trade up early in the 2nd, and he wasn't even suppose to be drafted nbadraft.net but is a first rd pick on draftexpress :smh:. Then Tyshawn Taylor gets drafted second to last on nbadraft.net but is a first rd pick on draftexpress :what:

No offense bro, but judging by your posts, you just don't watch enough games if at all.

In the Same way that Demar is considered "talented", Nick Young was considered "talented"... Lottery Picks with Great Athleticism and seemingly nice jumpshots. But when you watch the games you see them for what they are, mediocre players with Great Athleticism. DEmar can't create for anyone else, and he only creates bad shots for himself and he doesn't finish well at the rim with all his athleticism. And Like I said who cares how he plays with Demar, because Demar is not a difference maker to wonder how his game will affect anyone, he's just another player on a bad team.


Elton Brand Had BOUNCE. I never said he was Blake Griffin explosive but he was a VERY good athlete with VERY GOOD Quickness And VERY GOOD bounce. He was the number 1 pick and he averaged 20 and 10 as a rookie for a reason and he was a Power Forward.
Sullinger at 6'9 is not only undersized but Has UNDERWHELMING QUICKNESS, UNDERWHELMING ATHLETICISM AND UNDERWHELMING BOUNCE and IS FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES A CENTER, NOT A POWER FORWARD.

SO Don't compare sullinger to two guys that are better athletes and were more skilled NOW and COMING Out of College than he was bro just because they have the same frame. Stop looking at nbadraft.net measurements and thinking its the end all be all

and as someone who watched Perry Jones in HS, I pray to god that he won't be another Anthony Randolph but... :yeshrug:

Jared Sullinger is more skilled than Elton Brand and David West were....especially out of the low post

at that point, picks in that area fluctuate. Half the teams by then just wanna stash guys away and others go for need. Last year Cory Joseph was supposed to be a late 2nd but the Spurs took him at 29. Charles Jenkins was supposed to be in the 20s and he fell to mid 2nd round, him and Josh Selby. Josh Harrellson wasn't projected to be picked and he got taken mid-second. At the moment I have Orlando Johnson as a mid to late 2nd rounder, but I'm higher on him than I am on players that I'd project ahead of him.

Why are you guys not mentioning Anthony Mason 2.0 Royce White. I think the NBA can get his anxiety and flying issues under control.

:rudy:

a 3 In the NBA doesn't need to do anything besides dribble 3-4 times MAX to get to a spot or to utilize their length and get to the rim, and Barnes is perfectly capable of doing that in the college game much less in the nba game where he'll have more space
Thats why we need him. Barnes would be great in Golden State. I see him as a Danny Granger type with more upside.

Because Royce White's far from a finished product and there's no way to figure out how effective he can be when the ball's not in his hands. At Iowa State they used him the way you use a prime KG or even the way Orlando uses Dwight Howard. No team in their right mind will use him that way, so I guess we'll see at the 5 on 5's at the combine how he gets himself involved without dominating the ball, and this is not even acknowledging his mental problems.

Oh, and if he for even one second says something to the effect of "I think I can play the 3", run, and run fast.
