While you guys continue to obsess with HB, a future PG battle looms and UNC now has the inside track.
I heard he's already considering shocking the world by making his announcement with a hand written letter.

Man, if your Mom made you wear that color when you were a baby, and you're still wearing it, it's time to grow up!
Couldn't agree more. Sura was a terrific all-around player who regularly stuffed the stat sheet at FSU, and had the quickness and handle to credibly play point in the NBA. Dennis Scott is actually the best comparison I have heard, though he had much deeper range on his jumper upon entering the league.
"Trying again..."
cute. kid knows what he is doing out there. looks one and done to me, though.

Honestly, I thought I was doing Sura a disservice myself but I was trying to consider style of play. Barnes COULD do what Sura did but it was so infrequent and random that it was hard to take seriously.
I actually really liked the Dennis Scott comparison and Scott was actually pretty slim in college and wanted to do nothing but shoot.
Dennis Scott was one of the three or four best long-range shooters I've ever seen in the ACC. I don't see much of a comparison with Harrison Barnes.
And Sura was a stud.
Frankly, I see Barnes as a somewhat better Danny Green, who surprisingly--to me, at least--has turned into a decent NBA player. Danny Granger-lite?
BTW, the wine-and-cheese game was in 1992, FSU's first season in the ACC.
Still disagree on Sura. As a junior, he averaged 21.2ppg, 7.9rpg, 4.5apg and 2.4spg, and got to the line almost 7 times a game. No way could I ever envision Barnes producing across the board like that. He has neither the skills or the athleticism. He and Sura are two completely different types of player.
The problem that comes in is that it's pretty hard to think of an ACC player that Barnes compares to hype wise b/c those guys were pretty good and cut their teeth for many years developing their games.
Most of the guys that have gotten the hype throughout the years have been stone cold killers. That's one of the reasons I could never understand why they chose to promote Barnes and not Zeller or Marshall. It's like they kept promoting this "what if?" factor almost. Like "tonight will be the night Barnes goes crazy!". It rarely happened.
I mean this IS a guy that's about to go in the first round of the draft based on SOMETHING. He's not chopped liver but I think that's more a statement of the quality of player in the NBA now... In 1990 Barnes would have done some damage (well maybe, what they lacked in athleticism they more than made up for in physicality).
The fact that Danny Green starts for a legit title contender is baffling, but that Spurs organization is amazing at evaluating talent to fit exactly what they want to do. Obviously, he is not better than Manu but since they established this rotation with Manu out, and Manu is a team-first guy, Manu now comes off the bench.
I think Danny Granger is an ok comp, but can we give Granger a little more credit by calling Green Danny Granger very lite?
