Following potential 2012 draftees

I'm starting to think this is going to be a very overrated draft up top and that there's far better value later in the 1st or even in the 2nd.

Interesting read.

Barnes is now #8 on Chad Ford's big board. Wouldn't it be interesting if this became a Barnes vs Marshall debate?

Debate? I know that I have not been the biggest fan of Marshall's but I take him over Barnes. Barnes is starting to scare me.

Let this be a lesson to every young talent out there. Strike while the iron is hot because you rarely see it work out in your favor. Barnes was a top 5 if not top 3 pick last year and now look at him. The same could be said of PJ3 and TJones. Both were rated highly and didn't help their stock this year, only hurt it.

Why, just because he clanked a thousand shots the last couple of games? :)

I've never believed it was loaded with franchise players. I've always said it's a VERY deep draft, maybe through the last pick of the 2nd round. There are very, very few franchise changers (maybe only a couple, at most), but incredible value throughout. That's why I've never been big on combining picks to move up .. unless it was to #1.
 
I think this article is spot on. Barnes hasn't really improved his game and he seems to be selfish one moment(chucking up bad shots) and then he seems to disappear. I think he was overrated coming out of college and I would be leery taking him at top 3. I still don't see him dropping to eight but he certainly needs to improve his handle, shot selection and his basketball IQ.

I've been against Barnes from day one. What does he actually excel at?

The problem with high school to college then college to NBA is raw talent overrates itself in the earlier stages. Of course CJ Barnes killed his 4A highschool comp. I don't see how it translates.
