I'll admit I'm happier to have Kyrie than Barnes, but it's mainly because the point guard is the most important position on the court. I'd rather have the top point guard than the top wing forward, especially when you have LDII, Marshall and Strickland "attempting" to get Barnes the ball. Barnes has to rely on point guards that are not of the caliber of Irving. Plus, Carolina's offense relies more on point guards and post play. I do wonder how much Williams can adapt his offense to get Barnes more touches, because he had all kinds of trouble adapting last year to his personnel. Kyrie is definitely flashier than Barnes, but Barnes plays so fluidly, that I think most people will be deceived into thinking he's not as athletic as they think a #1 recruit, National Player of the Year, etc. should be. Hey, he obviously made a mistake not coming to Duke where our players are alarmingly unathletic! He would have fit right into that ridiculous narrative repeated ad nauseum last year.
