Trade up if possible to get MKG ....apart from his obvious bb skills his intangibles will set him apart.

Can it be?! RR threads are filled with draft talk after we lose to the bobcats? I like the glass half full attitude. Btw, repeat to yourself before you go to sleep at night..."only 1or 2 of last night's starters will be in our starting five next year". It helps.

Harrison Barnes was very impressive today. He is, to steal an old cliche, cool, calm and collected. His demeanour and expression did not change during the game. He hit some very big shots when they needed a score. The final score was 20 plus point win but Clemson was hanging around until about 4 minutes left getting to 7 points and then 6 points. UNC was in control but it was clutch baskets, many by Barnes, that ensured the result was never in doubt.
I like Barnes. I think he is going to be a solid NBA player. I think Miller has more upside but Barnes is a better player (as he should with another year of college ball under his belt and Miller missing his senior year due to a serious knee injury). Out of the three wings considered to be the cream of the crop (Miller, MKG, Barnes), I am not sure which I'd prefer at this point. All have tremendous strengths and weaknesses.
The X-factor in who is drafted is actually DeMar DeRozan, in my opinion. If Barnes is picked we have a great mix of slashing and shooting but neither can create their own shot driving (although Barnes is deadly with the one or two dribble pull up, in this game at least). If MKG is picked then there is no outside shooting but a great mix of offensive slashing and, defensively, DeMar can then pick up the weaker player. If Miller was picked, he is the prototypical NBA SF and, as I said before, I think he has the most upside but he needs to get in the gym to increase strength, speed, and agility.
